Improving Multilingual Models with Language-Clustered Vocabularies (2020.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | State-of-the-art multilingual models depend on vocabularies that cover all languages . but the methods for generating those vocalaries are not ideal for massively multilingual applications. |
| Approach: | They propose a procedure for multilingual vocabulary generation that combines separately trained vocabularies of several automatically derived language clusters. |
| Outcome: | The proposed procedure shows improvements across languages on multilingual benchmark tasks . the proposed procedure reduces out-of-vocabulary rate by a factor of 8 . |
