MUSE: Multilingual Unsupervised and Supervised Embeddings

Model

MUSE is a Python library for multilingual word embeddings, whose goal is to provide the community with:

  • state-of-the-art multilingual word embeddings based on fastText
  • large-scale high-quality bilingual dictionaries for training and evaluation

We include two methods, one supervised that uses a bilingual dictionary or identical character strings, and one unsupervised that does not use any parallel data (see Word Translation without Parallel Data for more details).

Dependencies

MUSE is available on CPU or GPU, in Python 2 or 3. Faiss is optional for GPU users - though Faiss-GPU will greatly speed up nearest neighbor search - and highly recommended for CPU users. Faiss can be installed using "conda install faiss-cpu -c pytorch" or "conda install faiss-gpu -c pytorch".

Get evaluation datasets

Get monolingual and cross-lingual word embeddings evaluation datasets:

  • Our 110 bilingual dictionaries
  • 28 monolingual word similarity tasks for 6 languages, and the English word analogy task
  • Cross-lingual word similarity tasks from SemEval2017
  • Sentence translation retrieval with Europarl corpora

by simply running (in data/):

./get_evaluation.sh

Note: Requires bash 4. The download of Europarl is disabled by default (slow), you can enable it here.

Get monolingual word embeddings

For pre-trained monolingual word embeddings, we highly recommend fastText Wikipedia embeddings, or using fastText to train your own word embeddings from your corpus.

You can download the English (en) and Spanish (es) embeddings this way:

# English fastText Wikipedia embeddings
curl -Lo data/wiki.en.vec https://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/fasttext-vectors/wiki.en.vec
# Spanish fastText Wikipedia embeddings
curl -Lo data/wiki.es.vec https://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/fasttext-vectors/wiki.es.vec

Align monolingual word embeddings

This project includes two ways to obtain cross-lingual word embeddings:

  • Supervised: using a train bilingual dictionary (or identical character strings as anchor points), learn a mapping from the source to the target space using (iterative) Procrustes alignment.
  • Unsupervised: without any parallel data or anchor point, learn a mapping from the source to the target space using adversarial training and (iterative) Procrustes refinement.

For more details on these approaches, please check here.

The supervised way: iterative Procrustes (CPU|GPU)

To learn a mapping between the source and the target space, simply run:

python supervised.py --src_lang en --tgt_lang es --src_emb data/wiki.en.vec --tgt_emb data/wiki.es.vec --n_iter 5 --dico_train default

By default, dico_train will point to our ground-truth dictionaries (downloaded above); when set to "identical_char" it will use identical character strings between source and target languages to form a vocabulary. Logs and embeddings will be saved in the dumped/ directory.

The unsupervised way: adversarial training and refinement (CPU|GPU)

To learn a mapping using adversarial training and iterative Procrustes refinement, run:

python unsupervised.py --src_lang en --tgt_lang es --src_emb data/wiki.en.vec --tgt_emb data/wiki.es.vec

By default, the validation metric is the mean cosine of word pairs from a synthetic dictionary built with CSLS (Cross-domain similarity local scaling).

Evaluate monolingual or cross-lingual embeddings (CPU|GPU)

We also include a simple script to evaluate the quality of monolingual or cross-lingual word embeddings on several tasks:

Monolingual

python evaluate.py --src_lang en --src_emb data/wiki.en.vec --max_vocab 200000

Cross-lingual

python evaluate.py --src_lang en --tgt_lang es --src_emb data/wiki.en-es.en.vec --tgt_emb data/wiki.en-es.es.vec --max_vocab 200000

Download

We provide multilingual embeddings and ground-truth bilingual dictionaries.

Multilingual word Embeddings

We release fastText Wikipedia supervised word embeddings for 30 languages, aligned in a single vector space.

Ground-truth bilingual dictionaries

We created 110 large-scale ground-truth bilingual dictionaries using an internal translation tool. The dictionaries handle well the polysemy of words. We provide a train and test split of 5000 and 1500 unique source words, as well as a larger set of up to 100k pairs. Our goal is to ease the development and the evaluation of cross-lingual word embeddings and multilingual NLP.
