| Popis | Cross-lingual embedding models (CMs) enable us to transfer lexical knowledge across languages. Therefore, they represent a useful approach for retrieving translation equivalents in lexicography. However, these models have been mainly oriented towards the natural language processing (NLP) field, lacking proper evaluation with error evaluation datasets that were compiled automatically. This causes discrepancies between models hindering the correct interpretation of the results. In this paper, we aim to address these issues and make these models more accessible for lexicography by evaluating them from a lexicographic point of view. We evaluate three benchmark CMs on three diverse language pairs: close, distant, and different script languages. Additionally, we propose key parameters that the evaluation dataset should include to meet lexicographic needs, have reproducible results, accurately reflect the performance, and set appropriate parameters during training. Our code and evaluation datasets are publicly available. |
