Aarohi Srivastava, David Chiang
Real-world NLP applications often deal with nonstandard text (e.g., dialectal, informal, or misspelled text). However, language models like BERT deteriorate in the face of dialect…
Universal Automatic Phonetic Transcription into the International Phonetic Alphabet
Chihiro Taguchi, Yusuke Sakai, Parisa Haghani +1
This paper presents a state-of-the-art model for transcribing speech in any language into the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). Transcription of spoken languages into IPA is a…
Convergence and Diversity in the Control Hierarchy
Alexandra Butoi, Ryan Cotterell, David Chiang
Weir has defined a hierarchy of language classes whose second member () is generated by tree-adjoining grammars (TAG), linear indexed grammars (LIG), combinatory cat…
Fine-Tuning BERT with Character-Level Noise for Zero-Shot Transfer to Dialects and Closely-Related Languages
Aarohi Srivastava, David Chiang
In this work, we induce character-level noise in various forms when fine-tuning BERT to enable zero-shot cross-lingual transfer to unseen dialects and languages. We fine-tune BERT…
