Resumen

We describe four systems to generate automatically bilingual dictionaries based on existing ones: three transitive systems differing only in the pivot language used, and a system based on a different approach which only needs monolingual corpora in both the source and target languages. All four methods make use of cross-lingual word embeddings trained on monolingual corpora, and then mapped into a shared vec- tor space. Experimental results confirm that our strategy has a good coverage and recall, achieving a performance comparable to to the best submitted systems on the TIAD 2019 gold standard set among the teams participating at the TIAD shared task.
