It's Not a Walk in the Park! Challenges of Idiom Translation in Speech-to-text Systems
Iuliia Zaitova, Badr M. Abdullah, Wei Xue +3
Idioms are defined as a group of words with a figurative meaning not deducible from their individual components. Although modern machine translation systems have made remarkable pr…
Attention on Multiword Expressions: A Multilingual Study of BERT-based Models with Regard to Idiomaticity and Microsyntax
Iuliia Zaitova, Vitalii Hirak, Badr M. Abdullah +3
This study analyzes the attention patterns of fine-tuned encoder-only models based on the BERT architecture (BERT-based models) towards two distinct types of Multiword Expressions…
How Familiar Does That Sound? Cross-Lingual Representational Similarity Analysis of Acoustic Word Embeddings
Badr M. Abdullah, Iuliia Zaitova, Tania Avgustinova +2
How do neural networks "perceive" speech sounds from unknown languages? Does the typological similarity between the model's training language (L1) and an unknown language (L2) have…
Do Acoustic Word Embeddings Capture Phonological Similarity? An Empirical Study
Badr M. Abdullah, Marius Mosbach, Iuliia Zaitova +2
Several variants of deep neural networks have been successfully employed for building parametric models that project variable-duration spoken word segments onto fixed-size vector r…
