Robust Cross-Lingual Hypernymy Detection Using Dependency Context (N18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing approaches to cross-lingual hypernymy detection are sparse and can be trained on related languages with negligible loss of performance. |
| Approach: | They propose a family of unsupervised approaches for cross-lingual hypernymy detection which learns sparse, bilingual word embeddings based on dependency contexts. |
| Outcome: | The proposed approach significantly improves performance on this task, compared to approaches based only on lexical context. |
