EENLP: Cross-lingual Eastern European NLP Index
08-12, 17:00–17:15 (Asia/Yerevan), 113W PAB

In our project we present a wide index of existing Eastern European language datasets (90+) and models (60+). Furthermore, to support the evaluation of commonsense reasoning tasks, we compile and publish cross-lingual datasets for five such tasks and provide evaluation results for several existing multilingual models.


  1. In our project we present an index of existing Eastern European natural language datasets(90+) and models(60+) in our github repository https://github.com/altsoph/EENLP.
  2. For five semantic tasks we hand-crafted cross-lingual datasets by processing datasets from various sources into the same format, allowing more convenient and fast cross-lingual model evaluation. Since the source datasets are licensed under various licenses, we publish automatic scripts for our datasets compilation in the same github repository.
  3. We perform zero-shot cross-lingual transfer learning on these datasets using multiple existing cross-lingual models to define the performance baselines and publish detailed results of these experiments in our Wandb project https://wandb.ai/eenlp.
