Machine learning of distributed word representations with neural embeddings is a state-of-the-art approach to modelling semantic relationships hidden in natural language. The thesis “Clustering of Distributed Word Representations and its Applicability for Enterprise Search” covers different aspects of how such a model can be applied to knowledge management in enterprises. A review of distributed word representations and related language modelling techniques, combined with an overview of applicable clustering algorithms, constitutes the basis for practical studies. The latter have two goals: firstly, they examine the quality of German embedding models trained with gensim and a selected choice of parameter configurations. Secondly, clusterings conducted on the resulting word representations are evaluated against the objective of retrieving immediate semantic relations for a given term. The application of the final results to company-wide knowledge management is subsequently outlined by the example of the platform intergator and conceptual extensions.":1 Introduction
