Recently, it has been shown that these embeddings can be effectively learned by aligning two disjoint monolingual vector spaces through linear transformations, using no more than a small bilingual dictionary as supervision. In this work, we propose to apply an additional transformation after the initial alignment step, which moves cross-lingual synonyms towards a middle point between them. By applying this transformation our aim is to obtain a better cross-lingual integration of the vector spaces. In addition, and perhaps surprisingly, the monolingual spaces also improve by this transformation. This is in contrast to the original alignment, which is typically learned such that the structure of the monolingual spaces is preserved. Our experiments confirm that the resulting cross-lingual embeddings outperform state-of-the-art models in both monolingual and cross-lingual evaluation tasks.",

One of the main reasons is that they play a crucial role in transferring knowledge from one language to another, specifically in downstream tasks such as information retrieval (Vuli\u0107 and Moens, 2015b) , entity linking (Tsai and Roth, 2016) and text classification (Mogadala and Rettinger, 2016) , while at the same time providing improvements in multilingual NLP problems such as machine translation (Zou et al., 2013) .",

This can be achieved by imposing an orthogonality constraint on the linear transformation (Xing et al., 2015; Artetxe et al., 2016) . Our hypothesis in this paper is that such approaches can be further improved, as they rely on the assumption that the internal structure of the two monolingual spaces is identical. In reality, however, this structure is influenced by languagespecific phenomena, e.g., the fact that Spanish distinguishes between masculine and feminine nouns (Davis, 2015) as well as the specific biases of the different corpora from which the monolingual spaces were learned. Because of this, monolingual embedding spaces are not isomorphic Kementchedjhieva et al., 2018) . On the other hand, simply dropping the orthogonality constraints leads to overfitting, and is thus not effective in practice.",

                "text": "Bilingual word embeddings have been extensively studied in the literature in recent years. Their nature varies with respect to the supervision signals used for training (Upadhyay et al., 2016; . Some common signals to learn bilingual embeddings come from parallel (Hermann and Blunsom, 2014; Luong et al., 2015; Levy et al., 2017) or comparable corpora (Vuli\u0107 and Moens, 2015a; S\u00f8gaard et al., 2015; Vuli\u0107 and Moens, 2016) , or lexical resources such as WordNet, ConceptNet or BabelNet (Speer et al., 2017; Mrksic et al., 2017; Goikoetxea et al., 2018) . However, these sources of supervision may be scarce, limited to certain domains or may not be directly available for certain language pairs. Another branch of research exploits pre-trained monolingual embeddings with weak signals such as bilingual lexicons for learning bilingual embeddings (Mikolov et al., 2013b; Faruqui and Dyer, 2014; Ammar et al., 2016; Artetxe et al., 2016) . Mikolov et al. (2013b) was one of the first attempts into this line of research, applying a linear transformation in order to map the embeddings from one monolingual space into another. They also noted that more sophisticated approaches, such as using multilayer perceptrons, do not improve with respect to their linear counterparts. Xing et al. (2015) built upon this work by normalizing word embeddings during training and adding an orthogonality constraint. In a complementary direction, Faruqui and Dyer (2014) put forward a technique based on canonical correlation analysis to obtain linear mappings for both monolin-gual embedding spaces into a new shared space. Artetxe et al. (2016) proposed a similar linear mapping to Mikolov et al. (2013b) , generalizing it and providing theoretical justifications which also served to reinterpret the methods of Faruqui and Dyer (2014) and Xing et al. (2015) . Smith et al. (2017) further showed how orthogonality was required to improve the consistency of bilingual mappings, making them more robust to noise. Finally, a more complete generalization providing further insights on the linear transformations used in all these models can be found in Artetxe et al. (2018a) .",

Meta-embeddings are vector space representations which aggregate several pretrained word embeddings from a given language (e.g., trained using different corpora and/or different word embedding models). Empirically it was found that such meta-embeddings can often outperform the individual word embeddings from which they were obtained. In particular, it was recently argued that word vector averaging can be a highly effective approach for learning such metaembeddings (Coates and Bollegala, 2018) . The main difference between such approaches and our work is that because we rely on a small dictionary, we cannot simply average word vectors, since for most words we do not know the corresponding translation. Instead, we train a regression model to predict this average word vector from the vector representation of the given word only, i.e., without using the vector representation of its translation.",

This unsupervised model is trained using adversarial learning to obtain an initial alignment of the two monolingual spaces, which is then refined by the Procrustes alignment using the most frequent words as anchor points. A new distance metric for the embedding space, referred to as crossdomain similarity local scaling, is also introduced. This metric, which takes into account the nearest neighbors of both source and target words, was shown to better handle high-density regions of the space, thus alleviating the hubness problem of word embedding models (Radovanovi\u0107 et al., 2010; Dinu et al., 2015) , which arises when a few points (known as hubs) become the nearest neighbors of many other points in the embedding space.",

This is because the methods presented in the previous section apply constraints to ensure that the structure of the monolingual embeddings is largely preserved. As already mentioned in the introduction, conceptually this may not be optimal, as embeddings for different languages and trained from different corpora can be expected to be structured somewhat differently. Empirically, as we will see in the evaluation, after applying methods such as VecMap and MUSE there still tend to be significant gaps between the vector representations of words and their translations. Our method directly attempts to reduce these gaps by moving each word vector towards the middle point between its current representation and the representation of its translation. In this way, by bringing the two monolingual fragments of the space closer to each other, we can expect to see an improved performance on cross-lingual evaluation tasks such as bilingual dictionary induction. Importantly, the internal structure of the two monolingual fragments themselves is also affected by this step. By aver-aging between the representations obtained from different languages, we hypothesize that the impact of language-specific phenomena and corpus specific biases will be reduced, thereby ending up with more \"neutral\" monolingual embeddings.",

We can also find multiple examples of the higher performance of our models compared to the baselines. For instance, in the English-Spanish cross-lingual models, after the initial alignment, we can find that seconds has minutos (minutes) as nearest neighbour, but after applying our additional transformation, seconds becomes closest to segundos (seconds).

As expected, the figure clearly shows how our model consistently brings the words from both languages closer on all language pairs. Furthermore, this movement is performed smoothly across all pairs, i.e., our model does not make large changes to specific words but rather small changes overall. This can be verified by inspecting the standard deviation of the difference in similarity after applying our transformation. These standard deviation scores range from 0.031 (English-Spanish for VecMap) to 0.039 (English-Italian for MUSE), which are relatively small given that the cosine similarity scale ranges from -1 to 1.",

In particular, we analyze the reasons behind the higher quality displayed by our bilingual embeddings in monolingual settings. While VecMap and MUSE do not transform the initial monolingual spaces, our model transforms both spaces simultaneously. In this analysis we focus on the source language of our experiments (i.e., English). We found interesting patterns which are learned by our model and help understand these monolingual gains. For example, a recurring pattern is that words in English which are translated to the same word, or to semantically close words, in the target language end up closer together after our transformation. For example, in the case of English-Spanish the following pairs were among the pairs whose similarity increased the most by applying our transformation: cellphone-telephone, moviefilm, book-manuscript or rhythm-cadence, which are either translated to the same word in Spanish (i.e., tel\u00e9fono and pel\u00edcula in the first two cases) or are already very close in the Spanish space. More generally, we found that word pairs which move together the most tend to be semantically very similar and belong to the same domain, e.g., car-bicycle, opera-cinema, or snow-ice.",

Intuitively, by leveraging a bilingual vector space condensing the semantics of two languages, one of them being English, the need for large amounts of training data in the target language may be reduced.",

(2016) and learn a (cross-lingual) linear transformation matrix between the hyponym and hypernym spaces, which is afterwards used to predict the most likely (set of) hypernyms, given an unseen hyponym. Training and evaluation data come from the SemEval 2018 Shared Task on Hypernym Discovery (Camacho-Collados et al., 2018) . Note that current state-of-the-art systems aimed at modeling hypernymy (Shwartz et al., 2016; Bernier-Colborne and Barriere, 2018) combine large amounts of annotated data along with language-specific rules and cue phrases such as Hearst Patterns (Hearst, 1992) , both of which are generally scarcely (if at all) available for languages other than English. Therefore, we report experiments with training data only from English (11,779 hyponym-hypernym pairs), and \"enriched\" models informed with relatively few training pairs (500, 1k and 2k) from the target languages. Evaluation is conducted with the same metrics as in the original SemEval task, i.e., Mean Reciprocal Rank (MRR), Mean Average Precision (MAP) and Precision at 5 (P@5). These measures explain a model's behavior from complementary prisms, namely how often at least one valid hypernym was highly ranked (MRR), and in cases where there is more than one correct hypernym, to what extent they were all correctly retrieved (MAP and P@5). Finally, as in the previous experiments, we report comparative results between our proposed models and the two competing baselines (VecMap and MUSE). As an additional informative baseline, we include the highest scoring unsupervised system at the SemEval task for both Spanish and Italian (BestUns), which is based on the distributional models described in Shwartz et al. (2017) .",

However, in Spanish VecMap emerges as a highly competitive baseline, with our model only showing an improved performance when training data in this language abounds (in this specific case there is an increase from 17.2 to 19.5 points in the MRR metric). This suggests that the fact that the monolingual spaces are closer in our model is clearly beneficial when hybrid training data is given as input, opening up avenues for future work on weakly-supervised learning. Concerning the other baseline, MUSE, the contribution of our proposed model is consistent for both languages, again becoming more apparent in the Italian split and in a fully cross-lingual setting, where the improvement in MRR is almost 3 points (from 10.6 to 13.3). Finally, it is noteworthy that even in the setting where no training data from the target language is leveraged, all the systems based on cross-lingual embeddings outperform the best unsupervised baseline, which is a very encouraging result with regards to solving tasks for languages on which training data is not easily accessible or not directly available.",

Specifically, our model seems to show a higher presence of generic words in the output hypernyms, which may be explained by these being closer in the space. In fact, out of 1000 candidate hyponyms, our model correctly finds person 143 times, as compared to the 111 of VecMap, and this systematically occurs with generic types such as citizen or transport. Let us mention, however, that the considered baselines perform remarkably well in some cases. For example, the English-only VecMap configuration (EN), unlike ours, correctly discovered the following hypernyms for Francesc Maci\u00e0 (a Spanish politician and soldier): politician, ruler, leader and person. These were missing from the prediction of our model in all configurations until the most informed one (EN+2k).",

Before applying this strategy, we start by aligning the monolingual embeddings of the two languages of interest. For this initial alignment, we have considered two state-of-the-art methods from the literature, namely VecMap (Artetxe et al., 2017) and MUSE (Conneau et al., 2018) , which also served as our baselines. Our approach is motivated by the fact that these alignment methods do not change the structure of the individual monolingual spaces. However, the internal structure of embeddings is, at least to some extent, language-specific, and is moreover affected by biases of the corpus from which they are trained, meaning that after the initial alignment significant gaps remain between the representations of cross-lingual synonyms. We tested our approach on a wide array of datasets from different tasks (i.e., bilingual dictionary induction, word similarity and cross-lingual hypernym discovery) with state-of-the-art results. This paper opens up several promising avenues for future work. First, even though both languages are currently being treated symmetrically, the initial monolingual embedding of one of the languages may be more reliable than that of the other. In such cases, it may be of interest to replace the vectors \u00b5 w,w by a weighted average of the monolingual word vectors. Second, while we have only considered bilingual scenarios in this paper, our approach can naturally be applied to scenarios involving more languages. In this case, we would first choose a single target language, and obtain alignments between all the other languages and this target language. To apply our model, we can then simply learn mappings to predict averaged word vectors across all languages. Finally, it would also be interesting to use the obtained embeddings in downstream applications such as language identification or crosslingual sentiment analysis, and extend our analysis to other languages, with a particular focus on morphologically-rich languages (after seeing our success with Finnish), for which the bilingual induction task has proved more challenging for standard cross-lingual embedding models .",
