• Abstract: Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI), particularly Large Language Models (LLMs), has significantly advanced Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks, such as Named Entity Recognition (NER), which involves identifying entities like person, location, and organization names in text. LLMs are especially promising for low-resource languages due to their ability to learn from limited data. However, the performance of GenAI models for Nepali, a low-resource language, has not been thoroughly evaluated. This paper investigates the application of state-of-the-art LLMs for Nepali NER, conducting experiments with various prompting techniques to assess their effectiveness. Our results provide insights into the challenges and opportunities of using LLMs for NER in low-resource settings and offer valuable contributions to the advancement of NLP research in languages like Nepali.

  Large language models (LLMs) are known to effectively perform tasks by simply observing few exemplars. We propose to assemble synthetic exemplars from a diverse set of high-resource languages to prompt the LLMs to translate from any language into English. Our unsupervised prompting method performs on par with supervised few-shot learning in LLMs of different sizes for translations between English and 13 Indic and 21 African low-resource languages.

  Cross-lingual methods have had notable success in addressing these concerns. We propose a complementary approach to building low-resource Named Entity Recognition (NER) models using non-speaker'' (NS) annotations. We show that use of NS annotators produces results that are consistently on par or better than cross-lingual methods built on modern contextual representations.
