The paper proposes a novel approach to improve cross-lingual language understanding by analyzing the correlation between single-transfer performance and linguistic-based distances. The authors develop a combined language distance metric that is highly correlated and robust across different tasks and model scales. They also investigate zero-shot multi-lingual transfer settings, where multiple languages are involved in training and evaluation processes. The paper concludes with a relational-transfer setting that incorporates multi-lingual unlabeled data using adversarial training.
Low GrooveSquid.com (original content) Low Difficulty Summary
This study aims to develop a multi-lingual IE system that can generalize to many languages. By analyzing single-transfer performance and linguistic-based distances, the authors create a combined language distance metric that is highly correlated and robust. The paper also explores zero-shot multi-lingual transfer settings and proposes a relational-transfer setting using adversarial training.
