Earlier efforts to use self-attention in vision either kept a CNN backbone or used custom attention patterns that ran slowly on modern accelerators. The authors ask whether an almost unchanged NLP-style Transformer encoder can classify images… 2. **[Cross-lingual Character-Level Neural Morphological Tagging](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/cotterell-2017-cross-lingual-character-level-neural/)** *(2017 · 98 citations)* Most languages lack the thousands of annotated sentences that strong morphological taggers need. Cotterell and Heigold address this with transfer learning. They train a character-level recurrent tagger for a low-resource language together with one for a related high-resource language, such as Catalan paired with… ## All works 6 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 2 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1.
