Subcharacter Information in Japanese Embeddings: When Is It Worth It?

WS 2018  ·  Marzena Karpinska, Bofang Li, Anna Rogers, Aleks Drozd, R ·

Languages with logographic writing systems present a difficulty for traditional character-level models. Leveraging the subcharacter information was recently shown to be beneficial for a number of intrinsic and extrinsic tasks in Chinese. We examine whether the same strategies could be applied for Japanese, and contribute a new analogy dataset for this language.
