Cross-lingual Model Transfer Using Feature Representation Projection
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a novel approach to crosslingual model transfer based on feature representation projection. First, a compact feature representation relevant for the task in question is constructed for either language independently and then the mapping between the two representations is determined using parallel data. The target instance can then be mapped into the source-side feature representation using the derived mapping and handled directly by the source-side model. This approach displays competitive performance on model transfer for semantic role labeling when compared to direct model transfer and annotation projection and suggests interesting directions for further research.

Cross-lingual Transfer of Semantic Role Labeling Models
Semantic Role Labeling (SRL) has become one of the standard tasks of natural language processing and proven useful as a source of information for a number of other applications. We address the problem of transferring an SRL model from one language to another using a shared feature representation. This approach is then evaluated on three language pairs, demonstrating competitive performance as c...
متن کاملA Distributed Representation-Based Framework for Cross-Lingual Transfer Parsing
This paper investigates the problem of cross-lingual transfer parsing, aiming at inducing dependency parsers for low-resource languages while using only training data from a resource-rich language (e.g., English). Existing model transfer approaches typically don’t include lexical features, which are not transferable across languages. In this paper, we bridge the lexical feature gap by using dis...
متن کاملImage Classification via Sparse Representation and Subspace Alignment
Image representation is a crucial problem in image processing where there exist many low-level representations of image, i.e., SIFT, HOG and so on. But there is a missing link across low-level and high-level semantic representations. In fact, traditional machine learning approaches, e.g., non-negative matrix factorization, sparse representation and principle component analysis are employed to d...
متن کاملA Representation Learning Framework for Multi-Source Transfer Parsing
Cross-lingual model transfer has been a promising approach for inducing dependency parsers for lowresource languages where annotated treebanks are not available. The major obstacles for the model transfer approach are two-fold: 1. Lexical features are not directly transferable across languages; 2. Target languagespecific syntactic structures are difficult to be recovered. To address these two c...
متن کاملCross-lingual Transfer of Named Entity Recognizers without Parallel Corpora
We propose an approach to cross-lingual named entity recognition model transfer without the use of parallel corpora. In addition to global de-lexicalized features, we introduce multilingual gazetteers that are generated using graph propagation, and cross-lingual word representation mappings without the use of parallel data. We target the e-commerce domain, which is challenging due to its unstru...
