• Title: Should Cross-Lingual AMR Parsing go Meta? An Empirical Assessment of Meta-Learning and Joint Learning AMR Parsing
• Authors: Jeongwoo Kang, Maximin Coavoux, Cédric Lopez, Didier Schwab,
• Abstract summary: Cross-lingual AMR parsing is the task of predicting AMR graphs in a target language when training data is available only in a source language. Taking inspiration from Langedijk et al. (2022), we investigate the use of meta-learning for cross-lingual AMR parsing. We evaluate our models in $k$-shot scenarios and assess their effectiveness in Croatian, Farsi, Korean, Chinese, and French.

• Abstract: Cross-lingual AMR parsing is the task of predicting AMR graphs in a target language when training data is available only in a source language. Due to the small size of AMR training data and evaluation data, cross-lingual AMR parsing has only been explored in a small set of languages such as English, Spanish, German, Chinese, and Italian. Taking inspiration from Langedijk et al. (2022), who apply meta-learning to tackle cross-lingual syntactic parsing, we investigate the use of meta-learning for cross-lingual AMR parsing. We evaluate our models in $k$-shot scenarios (including 0-shot) and assess their effectiveness in Croatian, Farsi, Korean, Chinese, and French. Notably, Korean and Croatian test sets are developed as part of our work, based on the existing The Little Prince English AMR corpus, and made publicly available. We empirically study our method by comparing it to classical joint learning. Our findings suggest that while the meta-learning model performs slightly better in 0-shot evaluation for certain languages, the performance gain is minimal or absent when $k$ is higher than 0.

  We use model-agnostic meta-learning and leveraging large language models (LLMs) to address this gap. We first apply a meta-learning model with self-supervision, which results in improved model initialisation for rapid adaptation and cross-lingual transfer. In parallel, we use LLMs' in-context learning capabilities to assess their performance accuracy across the Swahili mental health prediction tasks.

  Localizing a semantic to support new languages requires effective cross-lingual generalization. We introduce a first-order meta-learning algorithm to train a semantic annotated with maximal sample efficiency during cross-lingual transfer. Results across six languages on ATIS demonstrate that our combination of steps yields accurate semantics sampling $le$10% of source training data in each new language.

We show the few-shot cross-lingual transfer property of LMs for named recognition (NER) and apply it to solve a low-resource and real-world challenge of code-mixed (Spanish-Catalan) clinical notes de-identification in the stroke.

  We develop a two-stage approach to enhance the model performance. The first stage targets at recall: we design a hard-learning (HL) algorithm to maximize the likelihood that the top-k predictions contain the accurate answer. The second stage focuses on precision: an answer-aware contrastive learning mechanism is developed to learn the fine difference between the accurate answer and other candidates.
