Papers with joint multilingual translation
Language Clustering for Multilingual Named Entity Recognition (2021.findings-emnlp)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Recent work in multilingual natural language processing has shown progress on tasks such as natural language inference and joint multilingual translation. |
| Approach: | They propose a technique that groups similar languages together by embeddings from a pre-trained masked language model and automatically discovering language clusters in this embeddable space. |
| Outcome: | The proposed technique outperforms baselines on 15 languages in the WikiAnn dataset showing meaningful multilingual transfer for low-resource languages (Swahili and Yoruba). |
