Cross-lingual NER robustness to label noise under unlabeled data volume variation

Cross-lingual Named Entity Recognition (NER) leverages knowledge transfer between languages to identify and classify named entities, making it particularly useful for low-resource languages. We show that the data-based cross-lingual transfer method is an effective technique for crosslingual NER and can outperform multilingual language models for low-resource languages. This paper introduces two key enhancements to the annotation projection step in cross-lingual NER for low-resource languages. First, we explore refining word alignments using back-translation to improve accuracy. Second, we pres Research goal: How does the volume of unlabeled target data affect the robustness of cross-lingual NER models to label noise when using projection-based transfer versus multilingual pre-trained language models?
