Do words with similar meanings in different languages have similar embeddings

by Mike Chen3 months ago

Nowadays models are able to handle vocabularies from multiple languages. If two words have pretty similar meanings in different languages, they might have similar embeddings as well. One follow-up question is, if the words have multiple meanings, and one of the meanings is pretty similar but others are not, will the embedding still be similar?
