An Empirical Evaluation of Annotation Practices in Corpora from Language Documentation (2020.lrec-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Language documentation projects have produced substantial amounts of primary data from a wide variety of endangered languages. |
| Approach: | They propose to use common annotation conventions in existing corpora to facilitate their future processing. |
| Outcome: | The proposed formats are based on the common ELAN and Toolbox formats and are used to facilitate their future processing. |
Improving Low-resource RRG Parsing with Cross-lingual Self-training (2022.coling-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | a theoretical framework for low-resource parsing is understudied in computational linguistics but widely used in typological research . a novel approach uses Role and Reference Grammar to parse low-source languages . |
| Approach: | They propose to extend an existing RRG parser into a cross-lingual parsing model . they also adopt self-training to adapt the model to a related language with no trees . |
| Outcome: | The proposed model extends into a cross-lingual parser, and iteratively expands the training data. |
