We combine direct transfer using bilingual embeddings with annotation projection, which projects labels across unlabeled parallel data. We do so by either merging respective source and target language datasets or alternatively by using multi-task learning. Our combination strategy considerably improves upon both direct transfer and projection with few available parallel sentences, the most realistic scenario for many low-resource target languages.","url_abs":"https://aclanthology.org/W18-5216","url_pdf":"https://aclanthology.org/W18-5216.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"pd3-better-low-resource-cross-lingual","repo_url":"https://github.com/UKPLab/emnlp2018-argmin-workshop-pd3","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"tf","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"argument-mining","task_name":"Argument Mining"},{"task_slug":"cross-lingual-transfer","task_name":"Cross-Lingual Transfer"},{"task_slug":"multi-task-learning","task_name":"Multi-Task Learning"},{"task_slug":"pos","task_name":"POS"},{"task_slug":"pos-tagging","task_name":"POS Tagging"},{"task_slug":"sentence","task_name":"Sentence"},{"task_slug":"word-alignment","task_name":"Word Alignment"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
