Free Lunch: Robust Cross-Lingual Transfer via Model Checkpoint Averaging (2023.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Massively multilingual language models have shown strong performance in zero-shot (ZS-XLT) and few-shot cross-lingual transfer setups where models are fine-tuned on task data in a source language are transferred without any or with only a few annotated instances to the target language(s). |
| Approach: | They propose a method that averages different checkpoints during task fine-tuning to improve model robustness. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method overestimates model performance in cross-lingual transfer setups where models are evaluated at checkpoints that generalize best to validation instances in the target languages. |
