Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | a recent study has focused on languages where large amounts of resources are available. |
| Approach: | They benchmark state of the art statistical and neural machine translation systems on Somali and Swahili languages . they find that statistical machine translation and neural translation can perform similarly in low-resource scenarios . |
| Outcome: | The results show that statistical machine translation and neural machine translation perform similarly in low-resource scenarios. |
Somali Information Retrieval Corpus: Bridging the Gap between Query Translation and Dedicated Language Resources (2023.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing research on the Somali language information retrieval relies on query translation . lack of digital resources is key obstacle to advancing language technologies . |
| Approach: | They develop an annotated corpus for Somali information retrieval using query expansion technique. |
| Outcome: | The proposed corpus comprises 2335 documents collected from well-known online sites . it can be used for text classification-related tasks and question-answering research purposes. |
