Hierarchical Embeddings for Hypernymy Detection and Directionality
Table 6: AP results across languages, comparing SGNS and the projected representations.
['German', 'Hyp/All', 'Hyp/Syn', 'Hyp/Ant']
We clearly see that for both languages the default SGNS embeddings do not provide higher similarity scores for hypernymy pairs (except for Italian Hyp/Ant), but both languages provide higher scores when we map the embeddings into the English HyperVec space.
