Papers with cross-lingual relation classifier
Weakly Supervised Cross-lingual Semantic Relation Classification via Knowledge Distillation (D19-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing work characterizes differences in meaning between words across languages using semantic relations . however, because of translation ambiguity, semantic relations are not always preserved by translation. |
| Approach: | They propose a cross-lingual relation classifier trained only with English examples and a bilingual dictionary to account for translation ambiguity when transferring knowledge from English to cross-linguistic settings. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms baselines that rely on bilingual embeddings or dictionaries for cross-lingual transfer and approaches fully supervised systems on English tasks. |
