“…Cross-lingual document classification has been extensively studied. Previous method transfers knowledge with cross-lingual resources, such as bilingual dictionary (Wu et al, 2008;Shi et al, 2010), parallel text (Xu and Yang, 2017), labeled data from related languages (Zhang et al, 2018), multilingual topic model (Ni et al, 2011;Andrade et al, 2015), machine translation system (Banea et al, 2008;Wan, 2009;Zhou et al, 2016), and clwe (Klementiev et al, 2012). Our method instead brings a bilingual speaker in the loop to actively provide cross-lingual knowledge, which is more reliable in low-resource settings.…”
