用预训练模型提升专业领域双语词典的构建效果。
Cross-Domain Bilingual Lexicon Induction via Pretrained Language Models
- 基于跨域语料,利用预训练模型生成更精准的词向量。
- 在医学等专业领域上,性能比基线平均提升0.78点。
- 适合需要高精度专业双语词典的研究者和应用开发。
双语词典构建(BLI)通常依赖通用领域数据获取单语词向量,并通过对齐单语向量得到跨语言向量以识别词对。本文提出新任务:利用通用领域和目标领域单语语料,提取特定领域的双语词典。受预训练模型能力启发,我们提出一种新方法,首次将代码切换(Code Switch)机制引入跨域BLI任务,以增强模型在不同上下文中的匹配能力。实验表明,在三个专业领域上,该方法相比稳健的BLI基线平均提升0.78分。经典方法Muse和Vecmap在医学数据集上的表现显著低于维基数据集,原因在于专业领域语料规模较小、专有词汇频率低,且静态词向量难以捕捉上下文依赖的语义变化。本方法有效缓解了上述问题。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Bilingual Lexicon Induction (BLI) is generally based on common domain data to obtain monolingual word embedding, and by aligning the monolingual word embeddings to obtain the cross-lingual embeddings which are used to get the word translation pairs. In this paper, we propose a new task of BLI, which is to use the monolingual corpus of the general domain and target domain to extract domain-specific bilingual dictionaries. Motivated by the ability of Pre-trained models, we propose a method to get better word embeddings that build on the recent work on BLI. This way, we introduce the Code Switch(Qin et al., 2020) firstly in the cross-domain BLI task, which can match differit is yet to be seen whether these methods are suitable for bilingual lexicon extraction in professional fields. As we can see in table 1, the classic and efficient BLI approach, Muse and Vecmap, perform much worse on the Medical dataset than on the Wiki dataset. On one hand, the specialized domain data set is relatively smaller compared to the generic domain data set generally, and specialized words have a lower frequency, which will directly affect the translation quality of bilingual dictionaries. On the other hand, static word embeddings are widely used for BLI, however, in some specific fields, the meaning of words is greatly influenced by context, in this case, using only static word embeddings may lead to greater bias. ent strategies in different contexts, making the model more suitable for this task. Experimental results show that our method can improve performances over robust BLI baselines on three specific domains by averagely improving 0.78 points.
