• Abstract: When solving tasks in the field of natural language processing, we sometimes need dictionary tools, such as lexicons, word form dictionaries or knowledge bases. However, the availability of dictionary data is insufficient in many languages, especially in the case of low resourced languages. In this article, we introduce a new conceptual dictionary for the Slovak language as the first linguistic tool of this kind. Since Slovak language is a language with limited linguistic resources and there are currently not available any machine-readable linguistic data sources with a sufficiently large volume of data, many tasks which require automated processing of Slovak text achieve weaker results compared to other languages and are almost impossible to solve.

  We focus on zero-shot sentiment analysis tasks across 34 languages, including 6 high/medium-resource languages, 25 low-resource languages, and 3 code-switching datasets. We demonstrate that pretraining using multilingual lexicons, without using any sentence-level sentiment data, achieves superior zero-shot performance compared to models fine-tuned on English sentiment datasets.

  We find that many languages are under-represented in recent cross-lingual language models due to the limited vocabulary capacity. We propose an algorithm VoCap to determine the desired vocabulary capacity of each language. In order to address the issues, we propose k-NN-based target sampling to accelerate the expensive softmax.

• Cross-lingual Transfer for Text Classification with Dictionary-based Heterogeneous Graph [10.64488240379972]
  In cross-lingual text classification, it is required that task-specific training data in high-resource source languages are available. Collecting such training data can be infeasible because of the labeling cost, task characteristics, and privacy concerns. This paper proposes an alternative solution that uses only task-independent word embeddings of high-resource languages and bilingual dictionaries.

  Massively multilingual language models such as multilingual BERT (mBERT) and XLM-R offer state-of-the-art cross-lingual transfer performance on a range of NLP tasks. Due to their limited capacity and large differences in pretraining data, there is a profound performance gap between resource-rich and resource-poor target languages. We propose novel data-efficient methods that enable quick and effective adaptation of pretrained multilingual models to such low-resource languages and unseen scripts.
