Looks like promising research. I will have to read the actual paper later as opposed to just the blog post. One thing I would like to say is my qualm with the obsession with unsupervised learning as the quintessential technique. Unsupervised != no human input. Having the benefit of knowing about word embeddings is something inherently built into this system by the human designers and something that supervised learning does not have the benefit of when given original-translated pairs.
