| Challenge: | Meta-learning can help overcome resource scarcity in cross-lingual NLP problems . pre-training of models requires large annotated training sets for the task at hand . |
| Approach: | They propose to use meta-learning to train a model to learn a parameter initialization that can adapt quickly to new languages. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model-agnostic meta-learning improves on language transfer and standard supervised learning baselines for unseen, typologically diverse, and low-resource languages in a few-shot learning setup. |
