• Abstract: Relation extraction is a critical task in the field of natural language processing with numerous real-world applications. Existing research primarily focuses on monolingual relation extraction or cross-lingual enhancement for relation extraction. Yet, there remains a significant gap in understanding relation extraction in the mix-lingual (or code-switching) scenario, where individuals intermix contents from different languages within sentences, generating mix-lingual content. Due to the lack of a dedicated dataset, the effectiveness of existing relation extraction models in such a scenario is largely unexplored. To address this issue, we introduce a novel task of considering relation extraction in the mix-lingual scenario called MixRE and constructing the human-annotated dataset MixRED to support this task. In addition to constructing the MixRED dataset, we evaluate both state-of-the-art supervised models and large language models (LLMs) on MixRED, revealing their respective advantages and limitations in the mix-lingual scenario. Furthermore, we delve into factors influencing model performance within the MixRE task and uncover promising directions for enhancing the performance of both supervised models and LLMs in this novel task.

• Unlocking the Potential of Model Merging for Low-Resource Languages [66.7716891808697]
  Adapting large language models to new languages typically involves continual pre-training (CT) followed by supervised fine-tuning (SFT) We propose model merging as an alternative for low-resource languages, combining models with distinct capabilities into a single model without additional training. Experiments based on Llama-2-7B demonstrate that model merging effectively endows LLMs for low-resource languages with task-solving abilities, outperforming CT-then-SFT in scenarios with extremely scarce data.

  Cross-lingual open information extraction aims to extract structured information from raw text across multiple languages. Previous work uses a shared cross-lingual pre-trained model to handle the different languages but underuses the potential of the language-specific representation. We propose an effective multi-stage tuning framework called MT4CrossIE, designed for enhancing cross-lingual open information extraction.

  Existing approaches for entity and relation extraction tasks mainly focus on the English corpora and ignore other languages. We propose a two-stage multilingual training method and a joint model called Multilingual Entity and Relation Extraction framework (mERE) to mitigate language interference. Our method outperforms both the monolingual and multilingual baseline methods.
