Most of the gains, however, were shown for English. French relied mainly on multilingual models (mBERT, XLM, XLM-R) and had no shared evaluation benchmark. The authors built FlauBERT, a monolingual French model that uses the BERT architecture and… 2. **[Uniformisation de corpus anglais annotés en sens (Unification of sense annotated English corpora for word sense disambiguation)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/vial-2017-uniformisation-de-corpus-anglais-annotes/)** *(2017 · 1 citation)* English word sense disambiguation (WSD) has roughly fifteen sense-annotated corpora. They come in different file formats and use different releases of Princeton WordNet, so combining them takes real effort. Habit also splits them unevenly: systems are scored only on corpora built for evaluation, with no scientific… 3. **[Traduction automatique de corpus en anglais annotés en sens pour la désambiguïsation lexicale d'une langue moins bien dotée, l'exemple de l'arabe (Automatic Translation of English Sense Annotated Corpora for Word Sense Disambiguation of a Less Well-endowed Language, the Example of Arabic)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/salah-2018-traduction-automatique-de-corpus-en/)** *(2018)* Arabic Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) has little sense-annotated training data. Until recently it also had no freely available gold standard, which made systems hard to build and hard to compare. The authors address this by automatically creating Arabic training data from English. They take the 12 English corpora… ## All works 11 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 3 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1.
