I. ETNLP: A Toolkit for Extraction, Evaluation and Visualization of Pre-trained Word Embeddings

II. More about ETNLP :

1. Embedding Evaluator:

To compare quality of embedding models on the word analogy task.

• Input: a pre-trained embedding vector file (word2vec format), and word analogy file.
• Output: (1) evaluate quality of the embedding model based on the MAP/P@10 score, (2) Paired t-tests to show significant level between different word embeddings.

1.1. Note: The word analogy list is created by:

• Adopt from the English list by selecting suitable categories and translating to the target language (i.e., Vietnamese).
• Removing inappropriate categories (i.e., category 6, 10, 11, 14) in the target language (i.e., Vietnamese).
• Adding custom category that is suitable for the target language (e.g., cities and their zones in Vietnam for Vietnamese). Since most of this process is automatically done, it can be applied in other languages as well.

1.2. Selected categories for Vietnamese:

1. capital-common-countries
2. capital-world
3. currency: E.g., Algeria | dinar | Angola | kwanza
4. city-in-zone (Vietnam's cities and its zone)
5. family (boy|girl | brother | sister)
6. gram1-adjective-to-adverb (NOT USED)
7. gram2-opposite (e.g., acceptable | unacceptable | aware | unaware)
8. gram3-comparative (e.g., bad | worse | big | bigger)
9. gram4-superlative (e.g., bad | worst | big | biggest)
10. gram5-present-participle (NOT USED)
11. gram6-nationality-adjective-nguoi-tieng (e.g., Albania | Albanian | Argentina | Argentinean)
12. gram7-past-tense (NOT USED)
13. gram8-plural-cac-nhung (e.g., banana | bananas | bird | birds) (NOT USED)
14. gram9-plural-verbs (NOT USED)

1.3 Evaluation results (in details)

• Analogy: Word Analogy Task

• NER (w): NER task with hyper-parameters selected from the best F1 on validation set.

• NER (w.o): NER task without selecting hyper-parameters from the validation set.

 Model	NER.w	NER.w.o	Analogy
BiLC3 + w2v	89.01	89.41	0.4796
BiLC3 + Bert_Base	88.26	89.91	0.4609
BiLC3 + w2v_c2v	89.46	89.46	0.4796
BiLC3 + fastText	89.65	89.84	0.4970
BiLC3 + Elmo	89.67	90.84	0.4999
BiLC3 + MULTI_WC_F_E_B	91.09	91.75	0.4906

2. Embedding Extractor: To extract embedding vectors for other tasks.

• Input: (1) list of input embeddings, (2) a vocabulary file.
• Output: embedding vectors of the given vocab file in .txt, i.e., each line conains the embedding for a word. The file then be compressed in .gz format. This format is widely used in existing NLP Toolkits (e.g., Reimers et al. [1]).

Extra options:

• -input-c2v: character embedding file
• solveoov:1: to solve OOV words of the 1st embedding. Similarly for more than one embedding: e.g., solveoov:1:2.

3. Visualizer: to explore the embedding space and compare between different embeddings.
