Papers with language-independent representation
Language-aware Interlingua for Multilingual Neural Machine Translation (2020.acl-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing multilingual neural machine translation models fail to capture diversity and specificity of different languages, resulting in inferior performance against individual models that are sufficiently trained. |
| Approach: | They propose to integrate a language-aware interlingua into an Encoder-Decoder architecture to learn a semantic representation from the semantic spaces of different languages while allowing for language-specific specialization of a particular language pair. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model achieves remarkable improvements over state-of-the-art multilingual NMT models and produces comparable performance with strong individual models. |
Zero-shot Cross-lingual Transfer of Prompt-based Tuning with a Unified Multilingual Prompt (2022.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing work focuses on monolingual prompts, but we study multilingual prompt for multilingual models. |
| Approach: | They propose a model that uses a unified prompt for all languages, called UniPrompt, to alleviate the effort of designing different prompts for multiple languages. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms baseline models in the zero-shot cross-lingual setting. |
