• Title: HinFlair: pre-trained contextual string embeddings for pos tagging and text classification in the Hindi language
• Authors: Harsh Patel
• Abstract summary: HinFlair is a language representation model (contextual string embeddings) pre-trained on a large monolingual Hindi corpus. Results show that HinFlair outperforms previous state-of-the-art publicly available pre-trained embeddings for downstream tasks like text classification and pos tagging.

• Abstract: Recent advancements in language models based on recurrent neural networks and transformers architecture have achieved state-of-the-art results on a wide range of natural language processing tasks such as pos tagging, named entity recognition, and text classification. However, most of these language models are pre-trained in high resource languages like English, German, Spanish. Multi-lingual language models include Indian languages like Hindi, Telugu, Bengali in their training corpus, but they often fail to represent the linguistic features of these languages as they are not the primary language of the study. We introduce HinFlair, which is a language representation model (contextual string embeddings) pre-trained on a large monolingual Hindi corpus. Experiments were conducted on 6 text classification datasets and a Hindi dependency treebank to analyze the performance of these contextualized string embeddings for the Hindi language. Results show that HinFlair outperforms previous state-of-the-art publicly available pre-trained embeddings for downstream tasks like text classification and pos tagging. Also, HinFlair when combined with FastText embeddings outperforms many transformers-based language models trained particularly for the Hindi language.

  We propose a novel way to establish a link by corpus transfer between emergent languages and natural languages. Our approach showcases non-trivial transfer benefits for two different tasks -- language modeling and image captioning. We also introduce a novel metric to predict the transferability of an emergent language by translating emergent messages to natural language captions grounded on the same images.

On the other hand, in view of the problem that the model cannot well recognize and utilize the correlation among languages, we further proposed a language-specific representation module.

"vokenization" is trained on relatively small image captioning datasets and we then apply it to generate vokens for large language corpora.
