🎓 Watch Daryna Dementieva's insightful presentation on navigating the complexities of monolingual, multilingual, and cross-lingual text classification to discover the best approaches based on language and data availability in the field of NLP.
Speakers:
Daryna Dementieva
Description:
Daryna Dementieva, a postdoctoral researcher at the Technical University of Munich, delves into the world of monolingual, multilingual, and cross-lingual text classification in her upcoming talk. In 2023, the NLP field was abuzz with the emergence of powerful language models. Dementieva aims to address key questions surrounding the usability of these models for text processing tasks. She will explore whether it is more effective to fine-tune existing models or develop bespoke ones for specific languages and data availability. The presentation will offer insights into obtaining optimal text classifiers for languages like English and Ukrainian, with a focus on toxic speech, formal speech, and fluent speech detection tasks. Dementieva will compare closed- and open-source models, including BERT and RoBERTa, shedding light on the best approaches for different language contexts.
