no code implementations • LREC 2020 • Garrett Nicolai, Dylan Lewis, Arya D. McCarthy, Aaron Mueller, Winston Wu, David Yarowsky

Exploiting the broad translation of the Bible into the world{'}s languages, we train and distribute morphosyntactic tools for approximately one thousand languages, vastly outstripping previous distributions of tools devoted to the processing of inflectional morphology.

An Analysis of Massively Multilingual Neural Machine Translation for Low-Resource Languages

no code implementations • LREC 2020 • Aaron Mueller, Garrett Nicolai, Arya D. McCarthy, Dylan Lewis, Winston Wu, David Yarowsky

We find that best practices in this domain are highly language-specific: adding more languages to a training set is often better, but too many harms performance{---}the best number depends on the source language.
