XOR QA: Cross-lingual Open-Retrieval Question Answering
[article]
2021
arXiv
pre-print
Based on this dataset, we introduce three new tasks that involve cross-lingual document retrieval using multi-lingual and English resources. ...
Yet in practice, many languages face both information scarcity -- where languages have few reference articles -- and information asymmetry -- where questions reference concepts from other cultures. ...
Second, it is important to support retrieving answers in languages other than the original language due to information scarcity of low-resource languages (Miniwatts Marketing Group, 2011) . ...

The model gives high accuracy in translating the Queries from English to Arabic solving the translation and transliteration ambiguities and with orthographic query expansion; it gives high degree of accuracy ...
As the use of language in specialized domains, such as biology, can be very different to the general domain, there is a need for domain-specific resources to ensure that the information extracted is as ...
It has been observed that the so called resulting resource scarcity problem affects a large number of languages for which such annotated corpora are not available [6] . ...

Integrating cross-lingually relevant news articles and monolingual web documents in bilingual lexicon acquisition
2004
Proceedings of the 20th international conference on Computational Linguistics - COLING '04
unpublished
Considering such a situation, this paper proposes to complementarily use much larger monolingual Web documents collected by search engines, as a resource for reliably re-estimating bilingual term correspondences ...
We experimentally show that, using a sufficient number of monolingual Web documents, it is quite possible to have reliable estimate of bilingual term correspondences for those low frequency terms. ...
Therefore, it is quite important to overcome this resource scarcity bottleneck in corpus-based translation knowledge acquisition research. ...
