Cross-lingual Character-Level Neural Morphological Tagging
نویسندگان
چکیده
Even for common NLP tasks, sufficient supervision is not available in many languages—morphological tagging is no exception. In the work presented here, we explore a transfer learning scheme, whereby we train character-level recurrent neural taggers to predict morphological taggings for high-resource languages and low-resource languages together. Learning joint character representations among multiple related languages successfully enables knowledge transfer from the high-resource languages to the low-resource ones, improving accuracy by up to 30%.

Multi-Task Cross-Lingual Sequence Tagging from Scratch
We present a deep hierarchical recurrent neural network for sequence tagging. Given a sequence of words, our model employs deep gated recurrent units on both character and word levels to encode morphology and context information, and applies a conditional random field layer to predict the tags. Our model is task independent, language independent, and feature engineering free. We further extend ...
متن کاملChinese Morphological Analysis with Character-level POS Tagging
The focus of recent studies on Chinese word segmentation, part-of-speech (POS) tagging and parsing has been shifting from words to characters. However, existing methods have not yet fully utilized the potentials of Chinese characters. In this paper, we investigate the usefulness of character-level part-of-speech in the task of Chinese morphological analysis. We propose the first tagset designed...
متن کاملCross-lingual Word Segmentation and Morpheme Segmentation as Sequence Labelling
This paper presents our segmentation system developed for the MLP 2017 shared tasks on cross-lingual word segmentation and morpheme segmentation. We model both word and morpheme segmentation as character-level sequence labelling tasks. The prevalent bidirectional recurrent neural network with conditional random fields as the output interface is adapted as the baseline system, which is further i...
متن کاملCross-Lingual Medical Information Retrieval through Semantic Annotation
We present a framework for concept-based, cross-lingual information retrieval (CLIR) in the medical domain, which is under development in the MUCHMORE project. Our approach is based on using the Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) as the primary source of semantic data, whereby documents and queries are annotated with multiple layers of linguistic information. Linguistic processing includes ...
متن کاملAn Extensive Empirical Evaluation of Character-Based Morphological Tagging for 14 Languages
This paper investigates neural characterbased morphological tagging for languages with complex morphology and large tag sets. Character-based approaches are attractive as they can handle rarelyand unseen words gracefully. We evaluate on 14 languages and observe consistent gains over a state-of-the-art morphological tagger across all languages except for English and French, where we match the st...
