57 - A Survey Of Cross-lingual Word Embedding Models, with Sebastian Ruder

Upcoming JAIR paper by Sebastian Ruder, Ivan Vulić, and Anders
Søgaard. Sebastian comes on to tell us about his survey. He creates
a typology of cross-lingual word embedding methods, and we discuss
why you might use cross-lingual embeddings (low-resource languages
in particular), what information they capture (semantics? syntax?
both?), how the methods work (lots of different ways), and how to
evaluate the embeddings (best when you have an extrinsic task to
evaluate on).
