This repository contains the English 'SemEval-2014 Task 4: Aspect Based Sentiment Analysis'. translated with DeepL into Spanish, French, Russian, and Turkish. The labels have been manually projected. For more details, read this paper: Model and Data Transfer for Cross-Lingual Sequence Labelling in Zero-Resource Settings.

Intended Usage: Since the datasets are parallel across languages, they are ideal for evaluating annotation projection algorithms, such as T-Projection.

    abstract = "Zero-resource cross-lingual transfer approaches aim to apply supervised modelsfrom a source language to unlabelled target languages. In this paper we performan in-depth study of the two main techniques employed so far for cross-lingualzero-resource sequence labelling, based either on data or model transfer. Although previous research has proposed translation and annotation projection(data-based cross-lingual transfer) as an effective technique for cross-lingualsequence labelling, in this paper we experimentally demonstrate that highcapacity multilingual language models applied in a zero-shot (model-basedcross-lingual transfer) setting consistently outperform data-basedcross-lingual transfer approaches. A detailed analysis of our results suggeststhat this might be due to important differences in language use. Morespecifically, machine translation often generates a textual signal which isdifferent to what the models are exposed to when using gold standard data,which affects both the fine-tuning and evaluation processes. Our results alsoindicate that data-based cross-lingual transfer approaches remain a competitiveoption when high-capacity multilingual language models are not available.",
