Koharu24 / mBERT-Unaligned-fine-tuning-for-a-cross-lingual-RD-of-untranslatable-terms

This is a project proposal to implement Yan et al.'s (2020) mBERT-Unaligned for cross-lingual RDs with Japanese, German and Italian untranslatable terms

Project's overview

The following repository provides the full code in Python to a mBERT-based reverse dictionary (RD) for German, Italian and Japanese words.

Specifically, this project consists of a replication of Yan and colleagues' (2020) experiment on a crosslingual, unaligned RD. The paper of reference can be found at the following link https://aclanthology.org/2020.findings-emnlp.388/. As for the full original code, this is available on github at https://github.com/yhcc/BertForRD.git

Besides the full script, two folders containing the datasets used for the implementation are here given: "MyMono" and "MyUWD". For a detailed description, please consult the corresponding READme files within each folder.
