Focusing on the latter, we show that this failure to transfer is largely related to the impact of the script used to write such languages.

Most work on part-of-speech (POS) tagging is focused on high resource languages, or examines low-resource and active learning settings through simulated studies.

Active Learning Cross-Lingual Transfer +4

Leveraging translations for speech transcription in low-resource settings

1 code implementation • 23 Mar 2018 • Antonis Anastasopoulos, David Chiang

Recently proposed data collection frameworks for endangered language documentation aim not only to collect speech in the language of interest, but also to collect translations into a high-resource language that will render the collected resource interpretable.
