We describe a simple but effective method for cross-lingual syntactic transfer of dependency parsers, in the scenario where a large amount of translation data is not available. The method makes use of three steps: 1) a method for deriving cross-lingual word clusters, which can then be used in a multilingual parser; 2) a method for transferring lexical information from a target language to source language treebanks; 3) a method for integrating these steps with the density-driven annotation projection method of Rasooli and Collins (2015). Experiments show improvements over the state-of-the-art in several languages used in previous work, in a setting where the only source of translation data is the Bible, a considerably smaller corpus than the Europarl corpus used in previous work. Results using the Europarl corpus as a source of translation data show additional improvements over the results of Rasooli and Collins (2015). We conclude with results on 38 datasets from the Universal Dependencies corpora.

  1. Modeling Named Entity Embedding Distribution into Hypersphere

    cs.CL 2019-09 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Named entity words tend to lie in a single hypersphere in word embedding space, and this geometric model can be transferred across languages and used as an auxiliary feature for NER.

  2. Open Named Entity Modeling from Embedding Distribution

    cs.CL 2019-08 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Named entity embeddings are modeled as a fitted hypersphere per type, used for open detection, cross-lingual mapping, and as features giving small NER improvements.
