Pipeline Signed Japanese Translation Focusing on a Post-positional Particle Complement and Conjugation in a Low-resource Setting (2021.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | a pipeline translation method is proposed to take advantage of the similarities and differences between sign language and spoken language. |
| Approach: | They propose a pipeline translation method that takes advantage of similarities between spoken and spoken Japanese . they map glosses to spoken language words and train them using a monolingual Japanese corpus . |
| Outcome: | The proposed method performs robustly on the low-resource corpus and is +4.4/+4.9 points above baseline. |
Refining Pretrained Word Embeddings Using Layer-wise Relevance Propagation (D18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Recent research trend is to refine or fine-tune pretrained word embeddings. |
| Approach: | They propose a method for refining pretrained word embeddings using layer-wise relevance propagation using a neural network. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method achieves higher performance than the original vectors. |
