    "abstract": "A shared bilingual word embedding space (SBWES) is an indispensable resource in a variety of cross-language NLP and IR tasks. A common approach to the SB-WES induction is to learn a mapping function between monolingual semantic spaces, where the mapping critically relies on a seed word lexicon used in the learning process. In this work, we analyze the importance and properties of seed lexicons for the SBWES induction across different dimensions (i.e., lexicon source, lexicon size, translation method, translation pair reliability). On the basis of our analysis, we propose a simple but effective hybrid bilingual word embedding (BWE) model. This model (HYBWE) learns the mapping between two monolingual embedding spaces using only highly reliable symmetric translation pairs from a seed document-level embedding space. We perform bilingual lexicon learning (BLL) with 3 language pairs and show that by carefully selecting reliable translation pairs our new HYBWE model outperforms benchmarking BWE learning models, all of which use more expensive bilingual signals. Effectively, we demonstrate that a SBWES may be induced by leveraging only a very weak bilingual signal (document alignments) along with monolingual data.",

BWE learning models focus on the induction of a shared bilingual word embedding space (SBWES) where words from both languages are represented in a uniform language-independent manner such that similar words (regardless of the actual language) have similar representations (see Fig. 1 ). A variety of BWE learning models have been proposed, differing in the essential requirement of a bilingual signal necessary to construct such a SBWES (discussed later in Sect. 2). SBWES may be used to support many tasks, e.g., computing cross-lingual/multilingual semantic word similarity (Faruqui and Dyer, 2014) , learning bilingual word lexicons (Mikolov et al., 2013a; Gouws et al., 2015; , cross-lingual entity linking (Tsai and Roth, 2016) , parsing (Guo et al., 2015; Johannsen et al., 2015) , machine translation (Zou et al., 2013) , or crosslingual information retrieval (Vuli\u0107 and Moens, 2015; Mitra et al., 2016) . BWE models should have two desirable properties: (P1) leverage (large) monolingual training sets tied together through a bilingual signal, (P2) use as inexpensive bilingual signal as possible in order to learn a SBWES in a scalable and widely applicable manner across languages and domains.",

The monolingual objectives M ono S and M ono T ensure that similar words in each language are assigned similar embeddings and aim to capture the semantic structure of each language, whereas the cross-lingual objective Bi ensures that similar words across languages are assigned similar embeddings. It ties the two monolingual spaces together into a SBWES (thus satisfying P1).

This collection is then used to train word embeddings with monolingual SGNS from word2vec. With pseudo-bilingual documents, the \"context\" of a word is redefined as a mixture of neighbouring words (in the original language) and words that appeared in the same region of the document (in the \"foreign\" language). The bilingual contexts for each word in each document steer the final model towards constructing a SBWES.

A simple yet effective reliability reliability feature for translation pairs is the symmetry constraint (Peirsman and Pad\u00f3, 2010; Vuli\u0107 and Moens, 2013) : two words x i \u2208 V S and y i \u2208 V S are used as seed lexicon pairs only if they are mutual nearest neighbours given their representations in SBWES-1.

Results with different lexicons for the three language pairs are summarized in Table 2, while Table 1 shows examples of nearest neighbour words for a Spanish word not present in any of the training lexicons. Table 1 provides evidence for our first insight: Type 4 models do not necessarily require external lexicons (such as the BNC+GT model) to learn a semantically plausible SBWES (i.e., the lists of nearest neighbours are similar for all lexicons excluding ORTHO). Table 1 also suggests that the choice of seed lexicon pairs may strongly influence the properties of the resulting SBWES.

BNC+HYB+SYM and HFQ+HYB+ASYM -the two models that do not blindly use all potential training pairs, but rely on sets of symmetric pairs (i.e., they include the simple measure of translation pair reliability) -display the best performance across all lexicon sizes. The finding confirms the intuition that a more intelligent pair selection strategy is essential for Type 4 BWE models. HFQ+HYB+SYM -a simple hybrid BWE model (HYBWE) combining a document-level Type 3 model with a Type 4 model and translation reliability detection -is the strongest BWE model overall (see also Table 2 again). HYBWE-based models which do not perform any pair selection (i.e., BNC/HFQ+HYB+ASYM) closely follow the behaviour of the GT-based model. This demonstrates that an external lexicon or translation system may be safely replaced by a document-level embedding model without any significant performance loss in the BLL task.

On the other hand, adding more pairs does not lead to an improved BLL performance. In fact, we observe a slow and steady decrease in performance with lexicons containing 10, 000 and more training pairs for all HYBWE variants. The phenomenon may be attributed to the fact that highly frequent words receive more accurate representations in SBWES-1, and adding less frequent and, consequently, less accurate training pairs to the SBWES-2 learning process brings in additional noise.

We investigate whether retaining only highly unambiguous pairs would lead to even better BLL performance. The results for all three language pairs are summarized in Fig. 3(a)-3(c) . The results for all variant models again decrease when employ-ing larger lexicons (due to the usage of less frequent word pairs in training). We observe that a slightly stricter selection criterion (i.e., THR = 0.01, 0.025) also leads to slightly improved peak BLL scores for ES-EN and IT-EN around the 5K region. The improvements, however, are not statistically significant. On the other hand, a too conservative pair selection criterion with higher threshold values significantly deteriorates the overall performance of HYBWE with HFQ+HYB+SYM. The conservative criteria discard plenty of potentially useful training pairs. Therefore, as one line of future research, we plan to investigate more sophisticated models for the selection of reliable seed lexicon pairs that will lead to a better trade-off between the lexicon size and reliability of the pairs.",

The comparison of ASYM and SYM lexicon variants further suggests that filtering translation pairs using the symmetry constraint again leads to consistent improvements, but stricter selection criteria with higher thresholds do not lead to significant performance boosts, and may even hurt the performance (see the results for NL-EN).

It learns the mapping between two monolingual embedding spaces using only highly reliable symmetric translation pairs from an inexpensive seed document-level embedding space. The results in the tasks of (1) bilingual lexicon learning and (2) suggesting word translations in context demonstrate that -due to its careful selection of reliable translation pairs for seed lexicons -HYBWE outperforms benchmarking BWE induction models, all of which use more expensive bilingual signals for training.",
