The Problem of Low-resource Languages

English is one of the richest resources in natural language processing field. Lots of state-of-the-art NLP models support English natively. To tackle multi-lingual language downstream problems, cross-lingual language models (XLM) and other solutions are proposed.
However, there is still a challenge when the target language has very limited training data. Eisenschlo et al. proposed (MultiFiT) to enable us to train target language effectively.
MultiFiT (Eisenschlo et al., 2019) aims to address the low-resource languages problem. Neural network architecture is based on Universal Language Model Fine-tuning (ULMFiT) (Howard and Ruder, 2018) and quasi-recurrent neural network (QRNN) (Bradbury… Read the full blog for free on Medium.
