Learning Translations via Matrix Completion

Computation and Language 2024-06-21 v1

Abstract

Bilingual Lexicon Induction is the task of learning word translations without bilingual parallel corpora. We model this task as a matrix completion problem, and present an effective and extendable framework for completing the matrix. This method harnesses diverse bilingual and monolingual signals, each of which may be incomplete or noisy. Our model achieves state-of-the-art performance for both high and low resource languages.

This is a late posting of an old paper as Google Scholar somehow misses indexing the ACL anthology version of the paper
