Gender Bias in Multilingual Embeddings and Cross-Lingual Transfer
Table 2: Performance (accuracy %) of the BLI task for the aligned embeddings. Row stands for the source language and column is the target language. The values in the first row are from Joulin et al. (2018).
['Source', 'Target EN', 'Target ES', 'Target DE', 'Target FR']
We conduct experiments among all the pair-wise alignments of the four languages. Each row depicts the source language, while the column depicts the target language. When aligning languages to different target spaces, we do not observe a significant performance difference in comparison to aligning to EN in most cases. This confirms the possibility to use such embeddings in downstream tasks. However, due to the limitations of available resources, we only show the result on the four languages and it may change when using different languages.
