Cross-lingual complex word identification with multitask learning

Abstract: We approach the 2018 Shared Task on Complex Word Identification by leveraging a crosslingual multitask learning approach. Our method is highly language agnostic, as evidenced by the ability of our system to generalize across languages, including languages for which we have no training data. In the shared task, this is the case for French, for which our system achieves the best performance. We further provide a qualitative and quantitative analysis of which words pose problems for our system.

“…CoastalCPH describe systems developed for multilingual and cross-lingual domains for the binary and probabilistic classification tasks (Bingel and Bjerva, 2018). Unlike most systems, they have focused mainly on German, Spanish, and French datasets in order to investigate if multitask learning can be applied to the cross-lingual CWI task.…”

“…Deep neural network learning is widely used for graphic image processing [24]. Deep learning of artificial neural networks, which was first used in 2006 has taken an important place in computational linguistics [25]. To date, neural network learning methods have been developed allowing to quickly and efficiently train networks consisting of one hundred or more layers [26].…”
