How Low is Too Low? A Computational Perspective on Extremely Low-Resource Languages (2021.acl-srw)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Sumerian is one of the world’s oldest written languages attested from at least the beginning of the 3rd millennium BC. |
| Approach: | They propose to use interpretLR to train attention-based deep learning models in a low-resource language, Sumerian cuneiform, which includes part-of-speech tagging, named entity recognition, and machine translation. |
| Outcome: | The proposed pipeline outperforms the large language model RoBERTa for POS Tagging and NER. |
Towards the First Machine Translation System for Sumerian Transliterations (2020.coling-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Sumerian cuneiform script was invented more than 5,000 years ago and is one of the oldest in history. |
| Approach: | They propose to translate Sumerian texts into English automatically using supervised, phrase-based, and transfer learning techniques. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method accelerates the costly and time-consuming manual translation process and helps researchers better explore the relationships between Sumerian and Mesopotamian culture. |
