A study of conceptual language similarity: comparison and evaluation
Haotian Ye, Yihong Liu, Hinrich Schütze
An interesting line of research in natural language processing (NLP) aims to incorporate linguistic typology to bridge linguistic diversity and assist the research of low-resource…
Crosslingual Transfer Learning for Low-Resource Languages Based on Multilingual Colexification Graphs
Yihong Liu, Haotian Ye, Leonie Weissweiler +2
In comparative linguistics, colexification refers to the phenomenon of a lexical form conveying two or more distinct meanings. Existing work on colexification patterns relies on an…
