Evaluating bilingual word embeddings on the long tail (N18-2)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Bilingual word embeddings are useful for bilingual lexicon induction, but they focus on frequent words in general domains. |
| Approach: | They propose to evaluate bilingual word embeddings on rare words in different domains . they propose to use a multilingual dataset to build and combine BWEs based on a single word . |
| Outcome: | The proposed evaluations show that state-of-the-art methods fail on rare words . the proposed evaluation is based on a gold standard dataset and code . |
Anchor-based Bilingual Word Embeddings for Low-Resource Languages (2021.acl-short)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing approaches to build monolingual word embeddings rely on a cheap bilingual signal and monolingual data. |
| Approach: | They propose a method where the vector space of the high resource source language is used as a starting point for training an embedding space for the low resource target language. |
| Outcome: | The proposed approach improves bilingual lexicon induction performance and target language MWE quality. |
