Exploring Bilingual Word Embeddings for Hiligaynon, a Low-Resource Language (2020.lrec-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing studies on Hiligaynon, a low-resource language of Malayo-Polynesian origin, have not explored the use of bilingual word embeddings in NLP. |
| Approach: | They use a publicly available Hiligaynon corpus with only 300K words to match it with a comparable English corpus. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms results from a low-resource language of Malayo-Polynesian origin with over 9 million speakers in the Philippines. |
