Analysing The Impact Of Linguistic Features On Cross-Lingual Transfer

1 code implementation12 May 2021 Błażej Dolicki, Gerasimos Spanakis

As a result, one should not expect that for a target language $L_1$ there is a single language $L_2$ that is the best choice for any NLP task (for instance, for Bulgarian, the best source language is French on POS tagging, Russian on NER and Thai on NLI).
