As it can be seen, the method by <cite>Xing et al. (2015)</cite> performs better than that of Mikolov et al. (2013b) in the translation induction task, which is in line with what <cite>they report</cite> in their paper. Moreover, thanks to the orthogonality constraint <cite>their monolingual performance</cite> in the word analogy task does not degrade, whereas the accuracy of Mikolov et al. (2013b) drops by 2.86% in absolute terms with respect to the original embeddings.
