We conjecture that this behavior is related to the fact that SGNS performs weighted matrix factorization, giving more influence to frequent pairs, as opposed to SVD, which gives the same weight to all matrix cells. While the weighted and non-weighted objectives share the same optimal solution (perfect reconstruction of the shifted PMI matrix), they result in different generalizations when combined with dimensionality constraints.

- QUOTE: The weighted matrix factorization (WMF) approach is very similar to SVD, except that it allows for direct control on each matrix cell [math]\displaystyle{ X_{ij} }[/math]. The model factorizes the original matrix X into two matrices such that [math]\displaystyle{ X \approx P^\text{T} Q }[/math], where P is a K × M matrix, and Q is a K × N matrix (figure 1). The model parameters (vectors in P and Q) are optimized by minimizing the objective function: : [math]\displaystyle{ \Sigma_i \Sigma_j W_{ij}( P_{·,i} · Q_{·,j} - X_{ij})^2 + \lambda \mid\mid P \mid\mid^2_2 + \lambda \mid\mid Q \mid\mid^2_2 \ (3) }[/math] where [math]\displaystyle{ \lambda }[/math] is a free regularization factor, and the weight matrix W defines a weight for each cell in X. Accordingly, P·, i is a K-dimension latent semantics vector profile for word w_i; similarly, Q·, j is the K-dimension vector profile that represents the sentence s_j.
Operations on these K-dimensional vectors have very intuitive semantic meanings:

- QUOTE: We study the common problem of approximating a target matrix with a matrix of lower rank. We provide a simple and efficient (EM) algorithm for solving weighted low-rank approximation problems, which, unlike their unweighted version, do not admit a closedform solution in general. We analyze, in addition, the nature of locally optimal solutions that arise in this context, demonstrate the utility of accommodating the weights in reconstructing the underlying low-rank representation, and extend the formulation to non-Gaussian noise models such as logistic models. Finally, we apply the methods developed to a collaborative filtering task.
