Continual General Chunking Problem and SyncMap
Table 4: Computation time comparison over SyncMap, PARSER, Word2vec and MRIL.
['[BOLD] Model', 'SyncMap', 'PARSER', 'Word2vec', 'MRIL']
SyncMap is the second fastest after PARSER. It is impressive that SyncMap can be faster than word2vec even when word2vec is probably the algorithm which has the highest investment on efficiency improvement from the algorithms tested. Both SyncMap and MRIL should improve considerably if parallelization, GPGPU programming and other techniques are employed. For example, all neurons in SyncMap can be updated at the same time.
