Pre-tokenization of Multi-word Expressions in Cross-lingual Word Embeddings (2020.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Multi-Word Expressions (MWEs) are common in every language, but they are not translated by cross-lingual word embeddings. |
| Approach: | They propose a method for word translation of Multi-Word Expressions (MWEs) they compile lists of MWEs in each language and tokenize them as single tokens before training word embeddings. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method can translate multi-word expressions to and from English in 10 languages. |
Exploring Strategies for Generalizable Commonsense Reasoning with Pre-trained Models (2021.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Recent work proposes lightweight updates to improve commonsense reasoning models . fine-tuning can cause models to overfit to task-specific data and forget knowledge gained during training . |
| Approach: | They propose to use lightweight models to update pre-trained language models to learn commonsense background knowledge. |
| Outcome: | The proposed models learn from commonsense reasoning datasets, but they are overfitted and limited generalized. |
Automatic Interlinear Glossing for Under-Resourced Languages Leveraging Translations (2020.coling-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Documentation is not a cure-all for language loss, but it is an important part of language preservation. |
| Approach: | They propose to use multi-source neural models to create automatic glossing models . they also explore cross-lingual transfer and a simple output length control mechanism . |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms state-of-the-art models on low-resource scenarios. |
