Improving cross-lingual model transfer by chunking

Abstract

We present a shallow parser guided cross-lingual model transfer approach in order to address the syntactic differences between source and target languages more effectively. In this work, we assume the chunks or phrases in a sentence as transfer units in order to address the syntactic differences between the source and target languages arising due to the differences in ordering of words in the phrases and the ordering of phrases in a sentence separately.
