Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Recent research has focused on gender-inclusive and gender-neutral language . however, current approaches to gender- neutral rewriting for gendered languages rely on large datasets . |
| Approach: | They propose a rule-based and a neural-based tool for gender-neutral rewriting for Portuguese, a heavily gendered Romance language. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model fine-tunes large multilingual machine translation models on examples generated by the rule-based model. |
Effort Estimation in Named Entity Tagging Tasks (2020.lrec-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Named Entity Recognition (NER) requires large amounts of annotated data. |
| Approach: | They investigate which variables influence the time spent on a named entity annotation task by a human . they found a root mean squared error (RMSE) of 25.68 words per minute with a Nearest Neighbors model . |
| Outcome: | The proposed model achieves a root mean squared error (RMSE) of 25.68 words per minute with a Nearest Neighbors model. |
