Our estimation\nmethods, multiCluster and multiCCA, use dictionaries and monolingual data; they\ndo not require parallel data. Our new evaluation method, multiQVEC-CCA, is\nshown to correlate better than previous ones with two downstream tasks (text\ncategorization and parsing). We also describe a web portal for evaluation that\nwill facilitate further research in this area, along with open-source releases\nof all our methods.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1602.01925v2","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1602.01925v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"massively-multilingual-word-embeddings","repo_url":"https://github.com/idiap/mhan","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"multilingual-word-embeddings","task_name":"Multilingual Word Embeddings"},{"task_slug":"text-categorization","task_name":"Text Categorization"},{"task_slug":"word-embeddings","task_name":"Word Embeddings"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":"https://app.syntology.ai/?focus=1602.01925","mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
