However, we were able to translate to Guarani the whole common capital city (ccc) analogies set from Mikolov et al. (2013a) 6, and we also designed a new family set inspired in the original one, but considering the most common family relations in Guarani dictionaries. These two analogies test collections will be made available for future reference and comparison. Table 5 shows the results of the analogies tests for the five configurations used, corresponding to different combinations of the sets described in table 3.

First of all notice that including the Guarani part of the parallel corpus described in Chiruzzo et al. (2020) is enough to improve on the results of the Wikipedia embeddings on both categories. Using the parallel set created in this work, we can obtain better results for the ccc analogies test, but not for the family test (although they are still better for exact match than the vectors using only Wikipedia). One possible reason why the ccc tests improve is that this corpus includes more news articles, which frequently speak about political regions and geography, so the semantic generalization in these categories could be improved. However, our new corpus does not include a particular type of text found in Chiruzzo et al. (2020) that is text from blog posts, which includes folktales and biographies that could help the vectors improve their generalization capabilities about family members. On the other hand, includ-ing text from the tweets collections (both reliable and unreliable) seems to hinder the performance for the tests (although they still behave better than plain Wikipedia for ccc tests). We consider this is because text from social media tends to be much more noisy than news articles. However, it is possible that extracting a larger collection of this type of text could still help the generalization, so more experiments are needed in this regard.", "cite_spans": [ { "start": 28, "end": 51, "text": "(Mikolov et al., 2013a)", "ref_id": "BIBREF10" }, { "start": 86, "end": 109, "text": "(Mikolov et al., 2013b)", "ref_id": "BIBREF11" }, { "start": 1162, "end": 1184, "text": "Chiruzzo et al.
