Cross-lingual word analogies using linear transformations between semantic spaces

作者：

Highlights：

• We generalize the word analogy task to evaluate cross-lingual semantic spaces.

• We experiment with English, German, Spanish, Italian, Czech, and Croatian.

• Tested methods preserve word relationships and lead to impressive results.

• We provide publicly available corpus for cross-lingual word analogies.
