Discovering web services in social web service repositories using deep variational autoencoders

作者:

Highlights:

• We explore the use of Variational Autoencoders for syntactic Web Service discovery.

• We evaluate our approach using a 17113-service dataset, the largest among the research community.

• Our approach outperforms service engines based on traditional dimensionality reduction techniques (LSA, LDA).

• Our approach outperforms service engines based on Word Embeddings.

• Average query processing times and VAE training times confirm that our approach is viable in practice.
