In this paper we investigate whether similar benefits can also be derived from incorporating subwords into counting models. We evaluate the impact of different types of subwords (n-grams and unsupervised morphemes), with results confirming the importance of subword information in learning representations of rare and out-of-vocabulary words. %R 10.18653/v1/W18-1209 %U https://aclanthology.org/W18-1209 %U https://doi.org/10.18653/v1/W18-1209 %P 66-71
