Transferring BERT Capabilities from High-Resource to Low-Resource Languages Using Vocabulary Matching

COLING 2024main

Pre-trained language models have revolutionized the natural language understanding landscape, most notably BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers). However, a significant challenge remains for low-resource languages, where limited data hinders the effective training of such mo…
