Towards Zero-resource Cross-lingual Entity Linking (D19-61)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | XEL is challenging for most languages because of limited availability of requisite resources . simulated environments that use significant resources are not available in truly low-resource languages . |
| Approach: | They propose improvements to entity candidate generation and disambiguation to make better use of the limited resources available in low-resource languages. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model gains 6-20% end-to-end linking accuracy on four low-resource languages. |
Design Challenges in Low-resource Cross-lingual Entity Linking (2020.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing techniques for grounding mentions of entities in a foreign language do not rise to the challenges introduced by text in low-resource languages (LRL) and fail to generalize to text not taken from Wikipedia, on which they are usually trained. |
| Approach: | They propose a cross-lingual XEL technique that uses search engines to locate and search for foreign language entries in Wikipedia. |
| Outcome: | The proposed system shows an increase of 25% in gold candidate recall and 13% in end-to-end linking accuracy over state-of-the-art baselines. |
Wikipedia Entities as Rendezvous across Languages: Grounding Multilingual Language Models by Predicting Wikipedia Hyperlinks (2021.naacl-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Masked language models have become the de facto standard when processing text . however, these models are evaluated in a monolingual setting only . |
| Approach: | They propose a language-independent entity prediction task as an intermediate training procedure to ground word representations on entity semantics and bridge the gap between different languages. |
| Outcome: | The proposed approach bridges the gap between word representations and knowledge graphs by using a shared vocabulary of entities. |
Instilling Type Knowledge in Language Models via Multi-Task QA (2022.findings-naacl)
