Why Dimensionality Reduction is Often Necessary in NLP

Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a subfield of artificial intelligence that focuses on the interaction between computers and humans through natural language. The ultimate objective of NLP is to read, decipher, understand, and make sense of the human language in a valuable way. However, one of the major challenges in NLP is dealing with high-dimensional data. This is where dimensionality reduction comes into play.

Dimensionality reduction is the process of reducing the number of random variables under consideration by obtaining a set of principal variables. It is often necessary in NLP for several reasons:

  • Space Efficiency: High-dimensional data takes a lot of space, which can be problematic when dealing with large datasets. Dimensionality reduction helps in storing data more efficiently.
  • Computational Efficiency: Reducing the dimensionality of the dataset can decrease the computational complexity of the model, making it faster to run.
  • Preventing Overfitting: High-dimensional data can lead to overfitting. By reducing the dimensionality, we can prevent overfitting and improve the model's performance.
  • Visualizing Data: It's difficult to visualize data with many dimensions. Dimensionality reduction techniques can help in visualizing high-dimensional data in 2D or 3D.

Common Dimensionality Reduction Techniques

There are several techniques for dimensionality reduction, but the most common ones used in NLP are Principal Component Analysis (PCA), t-Distributed Stochastic Neighbor Embedding (t-SNE), and Uniform Manifold Approximation and Projection (UMAP).

Technique Description
PCA (Principal Component Analysis) PCA is a statistical procedure that uses an orthogonal transformation to convert a set of observations of possibly correlated variables into a set of values of linearly uncorrelated variables called principal components. This technique is widely used in NLP for dimensionality reduction.
t-SNE (t-Distributed Stochastic Neighbor Embedding) t-SNE is a machine learning algorithm for visualization developed by Laurens van der Maaten and Geoffrey Hinton. It is a nonlinear dimensionality reduction technique well-suited for embedding high-dimensional data for visualization in a low-dimensional space of two or three dimensions.
UMAP (Uniform Manifold Approximation and Projection) UMAP is a dimension reduction technique that can be used for visualization similarly to t-SNE, but unlike t-SNE, it can also be used for general non-linear dimension reduction. The algorithm was created by Leland McInnes and John Healy.

In conclusion, dimensionality reduction is a crucial step in NLP. It not only makes the data more manageable but also improves the performance of the model. The choice of the dimensionality reduction technique depends on the specific requirements of the task at hand.

Data Product Approach

Why Build Data Products

Companies should build data products because they transform raw data into actionable, reusable assets that directly drive business outcomes. Instead of treating data as a byproduct of operations, a data product approach emphasizes usability, governance, and value creation. Ultimately, they turn data from a cost center into a growth engine, unlocking compounding value across every function of the enterprise.

AI Agent for Business Analysis

Analyze reports, dashboard and determine To-do

Our structured‑data analysis agent connects to CSVs, SQL, and APIs; auto‑detects schemas; and standardizes formats. It finds trends, anomalies, correlations, and revenue opportunities using statistics, heuristics, and LLM reasoning. The output is crisp: prioritized insights and an action‑ready To‑Do list for operators and analysts.
