Simple Measures of Bridging Lexical Divergence Help Unsupervised Neural Machine Translation for Low-Resource Languages

Unsupervised Neural Machine Translation (UNMT) approaches have gained widespread popularity in recent times. Though these approaches show impressive translation performance using only monolingual corpora of the languages involved, these approaches …

Addressing word-order Divergence in Multilingual Neural Machine Translationfor extremely Low Resource Languages

Transfer learning approaches for Neural Machine Translation (NMT) train a NMT model on the assisting-target language pair (parent model) which is later fine-tuned for the source-target language pair of interest (child model), with the target language …

Improving NER Tagging Performance in Low-Resource Languages via Multilingual Learning

Existing supervised solutions for Named Entity Recognition (NER) typically rely on a large annotated corpus. Collecting large amounts of NER annotated corpus is time-consuming and requires considerable human effort. However, collecting small amounts …

Judicious Selection of Training Data in Assisting Language for Multilingual Neural NER

Multilingual learning for Neural Named Entity Recognition (NNER) involves jointly training a neural network for multiple languages. Typically, the goal is improving the NER performance of one of the languages (the primary language) using the other …
