As shown in previous work Ponti et al., 2018), retrofitting (CLSRI-AR) and the cross-lingual post-specialization transfer (X-PS) are substantially better in the LS task than the original distributional space.
our full CLSRI-PS model results in substantial boosts in the  LS task (13-17%) over the previous best reported scores of X-PS as well as over CLSRI-AR.
