Cardamom: Comparative deep models for minority and historical languages
McCrae, John Philip; Fransen, Theodorus (Language Technologies for All (LT4All), 2019-12-05)This paper gives an overview of the Cardamom project, which aims to close the resource gap for minority and under-resourced languages by means of deep-learning-based natural language processing (NLP) and exploiting ... -
A comparative study of different state-of-the-art hate speech detection methods in Hindi-English code-mixed data
Rani, Priya; Suryawanshi, Shardul; Goswami, Koustava; Chakravarthi, Bharathi Raja; Fransen, Theodorus; McCrae, John P. (European Language Resources Association (ELRA), 2020-05-11)Hate speech detection in social media communication has become one of the primary concerns to avoid conflicts and curb undesired activities. In an environment where multilingual speakers switch among multiple languages, ... -
Cross-lingual sentence embedding using multi-task learning
Goswami, Koustava; Dutta, Sourav; Assem, Haytham; Fransen, Theodorus; McCrae, John P. (Association for Computational Linguistics, 2021-11-07)Multilingual sentence embeddings capture rich semantic information not only for measuring similarity between texts but also for catering to a broad range of downstream cross-lingual NLP tasks. State-of-the-art multilingual ... -
Findings of the LoResMT 2021 shared task on COVID and sign language for low-resource languages
Ojha, Atul Kr.; Liu, Chao-Hong; Kann, Katharina; Ortega, John; Shatam, Sheetal; Fransen, Theodorus (Association for Machine Translation in the Americas, 2021-08)We present the findings of the LoResMT 2021 shared task which focuses on machine translation (MT) of COVID-19 data for both low-resource spoken and sign languages.
