Papers with MPLMs
Cross-Lingual Question Answering over Knowledge Base as Reading Comprehension (2023.findings-eacl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing high-quality xMRC datasets can be further utilized to fine-tune our model. |
| Approach: | They propose a cross-lingual question answering over knowledge base approach that converts KB subgraphs into passages to narrow the gap between KB schemas and questions. |
| Outcome: | The proposed approach outperforms baselines and achieves strong few-shot and zero-shot performance on two xKBQA datasets in 12 languages. |
Cross-Lingual Retrieval Augmented Prompt for Low-Resource Languages (2023.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Multilingual pretrained language models (MPLMs) perform strongly in cross-lingual transfer. |
| Approach: | They propose to augment context with similar sentences retrieved from a high-resource language (HRL) they find a significant correlation between cross-lingual transfer performance and similarity between high- and low-resourced languages . |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms finetuning by 3.7% on three downstream tasks with multilingual parallel test sets across 10 LRLs covering 6 language families in unlabeled and labeled settings. |
SAFARI: Cross-lingual Bias and Factuality Detection in News Media and News Articles (2024.findings-emnlp)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | a new corpus of news media and articles is developed to assess political bias and factuality in cross-lingual contexts . integrity and objectivity of news are crucial in an age of information sharing across cultural and language landscapes - a recent study shows . |
| Approach: | They propose a corpus of news media and articles for predicting political bias and factuality . they evaluate the cross-lingual ability of the models; however, they evaluate on English data . |
| Outcome: | The proposed corpus is unprecedented in its collection and evaluates on English data. |
