Papers with cross-lingual natural language understanding
Mining Cross-Cultural Differences and Similarities in Social Media (P18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | a new paper examines the problem of computing cross-cultural differences and similarities in natural language understanding . cross-culture differences are important for cross-lingual research, especially in social media . |
| Approach: | They propose a framework for computing cross-cultural differences and similarities from social media . they propose to use a social media platform to find similar terms for slang across languages . |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework outperforms baseline methods on two novel tasks. |
Enhancing Cross-lingual Natural Language Inference by Prompt-learning from Cross-lingual Templates (2022.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods for enhancing pre-trained cross-lingual language models with additional data are rare in practice, especially for low-resource languages. |
| Approach: | They propose a prompt-learning framework for enhancing cross-lingual natural language inference by constructing cloze-style questions through cross-linguistic templates. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework significantly outperforms existing models under cross-lingual transfer settings. |
UniPSDA: Unsupervised Pseudo Semantic Data Augmentation for Zero-Shot Cross-Lingual Natural Language Understanding (2024.lrec-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing studies rely on shallow unsupervised data generated by token surface matching regardless of global context-aware semantics of the surrounding text tokens. |
| Approach: | They propose an Unsupervised Pseudo Semantic Data Augmentation mechanism to enrich training data without human intervention. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model improves on general zero-shot cross-lingual understanding tasks on different languages without human intervention. |
