K-hop neighbourhood regularization for few-shot learning on graphs: A case study of text classification (2023.eacl-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | We show that few-sample word-document graphs can be used for improved learning in low-resource settings. |
| Approach: | They propose a method to utilize word-document graph properties for improved learning in low-resource settings by using a regularizer for heterogeneous graphs. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method outperforms a baseline TextGCN with 17% accuracy over eight languages while performing on par with the state-of-the-art models. |
Multilingual and cross-lingual document classification: A meta-learning approach (2021.eacl-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods to document classification in low-resource languages are under-resourced . 6% of the world's languages are spoken, and many have inadequate resources . |
| Approach: | They propose a meta-learning approach to document classification in low-resource languages . they propose 'nuclear-shot' cross-lingual adaptation to previously unseen languages based on limited data . |
| Outcome: | The proposed method performs on-par on some languages while under-resourced in others. |
