Weakly-Supervised Concept-based Adversarial Learning for Cross-lingual Word Embeddings

James Henderson

Distributed representations of words which map each word to a continuous vector have proven useful in capturing important linguistic information not only in a single language but also across different languages. Current unsupervised adversarial approaches ...

Association for Computational Linguistics2019

Language acquisition theories classically distinguish passive language understanding from active language production. However, recent findings show that brain areas such as Broca's region are shared in language understanding and production. Furthermore, th ...
