Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | a comprehensive survey of cutting-edge weakly-supervised and unsupervised cross-lingual word representations is presented . |
| Approach: | This tutorial provides a comprehensive survey of recent work on weakly-supervised and unsupervised cross-lingual word representations. |
| Outcome: | This tutorial provides a comprehensive survey of cutting-edge weakly-supervised and unsupervised word representations. |
Low-Resource Syntactic Transfer with Unsupervised Source Reordering (N19-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods for dependency parsing use word order differences between source and target languages. |
| Approach: | They propose a cross-lingual transfer method that takes into account word order differences between source and target languages. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method improves on 68 treebanks (38 languages) on a target language. |
On Bilingual Lexicon Induction with Large Language Models (2023.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing approaches to induction bilingual lexicons still require cross-lingual word representations . a recent study shows that few-shot prompting with in-context examples from nearest neighbours achieves the best performance . |
| Approach: | They examine whether it is possible to prompt and fine-tune multilingual LLMs for BLI . they experiment with 18 open-source text-to-text mLLMs of different sizes . |
| Outcome: | The proposed approach is compared with existing approaches on two standard BLI benchmarks covering a range of typologically diverse languages. |
