Cross-lingual representations learning receives high attention recently, but is still restricted by the availability of parallel data. In this paper, a method is proposed to jointly embed texts and entities on comparable data. In addition to evaluate on public semantic textual similarity datasets, a task (cross-lingual text extraction) was proposed to assess the similarities between texts and contribute to this dataset. It shows that the proposed method outperforms cross-lingual representations methods using parallel data on cross-lingual tasks, and achieves competitive results on mono-lingual tasks.展开更多

In this paper, we propose a cross-lingual implicit DRR framework that exploits an available English corpus for the Chinese DRR task. We use machine translation to generate Chinese instances from a labeled English discourse corpus. In this way, each instance has two independent views： Chinese and English views. Then we train two classifiers in Chinese and English in a co-training way, which exploits unlabeled Chinese data to implement better implicit DRR for Chinese. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our method.展开更多

However, for low resource languages, due to the limited resources and lack of training data, taggers tend to have lower performance, in comparison to the English language. In this paper, we tackle this challenging issue by incorporating multi-level cross-lingual knowledge as attention into a neural architecture, which guides low resource name tagging to achieve a better performance. Specifically, we regard entity type distribution as language independent and use bilingual lexicons to bridge cross-lingual semantic mapping. Then, we jointly apply word-level cross-lingual mutual influence and entity-type level monolingual word distributions to enhance low resource name tagging. Experiments on three languages demonstrate the effectiveness of this neural architecture： for Chinese,Uzbek, and Turkish, we are able to yield significant improvements in name tagging over all previous baselines.展开更多

The Proximity and mutual information of the term-pairs in the Chinese and English comparable corpora are employed not only to resolve the translation ambiguities but also to perform the query expansion so as to deal with the out-of-vocabulary issues in the CECLIR. The evaluation results show that the query precision of PME algorithm is about 84.4% of the monolingual information retrieval.展开更多
