• Authors: Marouane Yassine and David Beauchemin and Fran\c{c}ois Laviolette and Luc Lamontagne
• Abstract summary: Address parsing consists of identifying the segments that make up an address, such as a street name or a postal code. Previous work on neural networks has only focused on parsing addresses from a single source country. This paper explores the possibility of transferring the address parsing knowledge acquired by training deep learning models on some countries' addresses to others.

• Abstract: Address parsing consists of identifying the segments that make up an address, such as a street name or a postal code. Because of its importance for tasks like record linkage, address parsing has been approached with many techniques, the latest relying on neural networks. While these models yield notable results, previous work on neural networks has only focused on parsing addresses from a single source country. This paper explores the possibility of transferring the address parsing knowledge acquired by training deep learning models on some countries' addresses to others with no further training in a zero-shot transfer learning setting. We also experiment using an attention mechanism and a domain adversarial training algorithm in the same zero-shot transfer setting to improve performance. Both methods yield state-of-the-art performance for most of the tested countries while giving good results to the remaining countries. We also explore the effect of incomplete addresses on our best model, and we evaluate the impact of using incomplete addresses during training. In addition, we propose an open-source Python implementation of some of our trained models.

  Few-shot video action recognition is an effective approach to recognizing new categories with only a few labeled examples. Existing methods in video action recognition rely on large labeled datasets from the same domain. We propose a novel cross-domain few-shot video action recognition method that leverages self-supervised learning and curriculum learning.
