Data-adaptive Transfer Learning for Translation: A Case Study in Haitian and Jamaican

Nathaniel R. Robinson, Cameron J. Hogan, Nancy Fulda +1

Multilingual transfer techniques often improve low-resource machine translation (MT). Many of these techniques are applied without considering data characteristics. We show in the…

Phoneme Recognition through Fine Tuning of Phonetic Representations: a Case Study on Luhya Language Varieties

Kathleen Siminyu, Xinjian Li, Antonios Anastasopoulos +3

Models pre-trained on multiple languages have shown significant promise for improving speech recognition, particularly for low-resource languages. In this work, we focus on phoneme…
