Multilinguality and Cross-linguality

Multilinguality and Cross-linguality

This project focuses on advancing the field of multilingual and cross-lingual Natural Language Processing (NLP). It aims to develop innovative techniques and models that can effectively process and understand multiple languages, as well as transfer knowledge across different languages. The research encompasses various NLP tasks such as entity recognition, structure parsing, question answering, and language inference in multilingual contexts. By enhancing these capabilities, the project seeks to break down language barriers in AI applications, improve global communication, and enable more inclusive technology solutions for diverse linguistic communities.
