Review of "On the Replicability of Combining Word Embeddings and Retrieval Models"

We made an attempt to reproduce a scientific paper in which the authors have replicated the experiments on comparing the mixture model of von Mises-Fisher (VMF) along with other models, such as Latent Semantic Indexing implementation (LSI) and Paragraph Vector algorithm with both implementations (PV) to name a few, by measuring their performance in three respective objectives: classification, clustering and information retrieval. From the three tasks we were able to reproduce one, while one was not fully reproducible and for one the reproduction was not possible due to missing data.
