Hubless Nearest Neighbor Search for Bilingual Lexicon Induction (P19-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods for bilingual Lexicon Induction use nonparallel corpora, but hubness often degrades accuracy. |
| Approach: | They propose a method to create a lexicon of translation equivalents from non-parallel corpora by aligning two word embedding spaces and retrieving the nearest neighbor (NN) this method reduces hubness, which is necessary for retrieval tasks. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method outperforms NN, Inverted SoFtmax and other state-of-the-art methods. |
