Cross-Lingual Transfer from Related Languages: Treating Low-Resource Maltese as Multilingual Code-Switching

no code implementations30 Jan 2024 Kurt Micallef, Nizar Habash, Claudia Borg, Fadhl Eryani, Houda Bouamor

Although multilingual language models exhibit impressive cross-lingual transfer capabilities on unseen languages, the performance on downstream tasks is impacted when there is a script disparity with the languages used in the multilingual model's pre-training data.

Face2Text revisited: Improved data set and baseline results

no code implementations PVLAM (LREC) 2022 Marc Tanti, Shaun Abdilla, Adrian Muscat, Claudia Borg, Reuben A. Farrugia, Albert Gatt

To encourage the development of more human-focused descriptions, we developed a new data set of facial descriptions based on the CelebA image data set.

On the Language-specificity of Multilingual BERT and the Impact of Fine-tuning

1 code implementation EMNLP (BlackboxNLP) 2021 Marc Tanti, Lonneke van der Plas, Claudia Borg, Albert Gatt

Recent work has shown evidence that the knowledge acquired by multilingual BERT (mBERT) has two components: a language-specific and a language-neutral one.

Face2Text: Collecting an Annotated Image Description Corpus for the Generation of Rich Face Descriptions

1 code implementation LREC 2018 Albert Gatt, Marc Tanti, Adrian Muscat, Patrizia Paggio, Reuben A. Farrugia, Claudia Borg, Kenneth P. Camilleri, Mike Rosner, Lonneke van der Plas

To gain a better understanding of the variation we find in face description and the possible issues that this may raise, we also conducted an annotation study on a subset of the corpus.

Morphological Analysis for the Maltese Language: The Challenges of a Hybrid System

no code implementations WS 2017 Claudia Borg, Albert Gatt

In particular, we analyse a dataset of morphologically related word clusters to evaluate the difference in results for concatenative and nonconcatenative clusters.
