Enhancing Cross-lingual Sentence Embedding for Low-resource Languages with Word Alignment (2024.findings-naacl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Current approaches to obtain cross-lingual sentence embeddings rely on pre-trained language models that implicitly align the contextual representations of similar units of sentences in different languages. |
| Approach: | They propose a framework that explicitly aligns words between English and eight low-resource languages by using off-the-shelf word alignment models. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework improves on the bitext retrieval task and in high-resource languages. |
