• Abstract: The scarcity of available text corpora for low-resource languages like Albanian is a serious hurdle for research in natural language processing tasks. This paper introduces AlbNews, a collection of 600 topically labeled news headlines and 2600 unlabeled ones in Albanian. The data can be freely used for conducting topic modeling research. We report the initial classification scores of some traditional machine learning classifiers trained with the AlbNews samples. These results show that basic models outrun the ensemble learning ones and can serve as a baseline for future experiments.

Our analysis strongly suggests that pretraining data by far is the primary contributor to performance, surpassing other factors.

  We propose an efficient modeling framework for cross-lingual named entity recognition in semi-structured text data. We employ two independent datasets of SMSs in English and Arabic, each carrying semi-structured banking transaction information. With access to only 30 labeled samples, our model can generalize the recognition of merchants, amounts, and other fields from English to Arabic.
