Program that translates English words to French words using word embeddings and vector space models.

Translation as linear transformation of embeddings

Given dictionaries of English and French word embeddings you will create a transformation matrix R

• Given an English word embedding, $\mathbf{e}$, you can multiply $\mathbf{eR}$ to get a new word embedding $\mathbf{f}$.
  • Both $\mathbf{e}$ and $\mathbf{f}$ are row vectors.
• You can then compute the nearest neighbors to f in the french embeddings and recommend the word that is most similar to the transformed word embedding.
