Domain Mismatch Doesn’t Always Prevent Cross-lingual Transfer Learning (2022.lrec-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Recent studies have reported that domain mismatch prevents cross-lingual transfer . UBLI and UNMT do not work well when underlying monolingual corpora come from different domains . |
| Approach: | They show that a simple initialization regimen can overcome domain mismatch in cross-lingual transfer . they pre-train word embeddings on concatenated domain-mismatched corpora and use them as initializations . |
| Outcome: | The initialization regimen can overcome the domain mismatch effect in cross-lingual transfer learning . the initializations were used for MUSE UBLI, UN Parallel UNMT, and the SemEval 2017 task . |
MAAM: A Morphology-Aware Alignment Model for Unsupervised Bilingual Lexicon Induction (P19-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing work shows that morphological variation is an intractable challenge for the unsupervised bilingual lexicon induction task. |
| Approach: | They propose a morphology-aware alignment model to alleviate the adverse effect of morphological variation by introducing grammatical information learned by the pre-trained denoising language model. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms state-of-the-art unsupervised systems and achieves competitive performance compared to supervised methods. |
Cross-lingual Feature Extraction from Monolingual Corpora for Low-resource Unsupervised Bilingual Lexicon Induction (2022.coling-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Unsupervised bilingual lexicon induction models fail on low-resource language pairs due to insufficient initialization. |
| Approach: | They propose a method to learn cross-lingual features from monolingual corpora for low-resource UBLI by integrating cross-linguistic representations with pre-trained word embeddings in a fully unsupervised initialization. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method outperforms state-of-the-art methods on low-resource language pairs and improves representational ability and robustness of existing embedding models. |
