Since Faruqui and Dyer (2014) Mikolov et al. (2013b) 34.93% 73. 80% <cite>Xing et al. (2015)</cite> 36.87% 76.66% Faruqui and Dyer (2014) CCA to perform dimensionality reduction, we tested several values for it and report the best (180 dimensions). This beats the method by <cite>Xing et al. (2015)</cite> in the bilingual task, although it comes at the price of a considerable degradation in monolingual quality.
