Multilingual Hierarchical Attention Networks for Document Classification (2017, background): “Secondly, the models should be capable of cross-language transfer, which is an important component in human language learning (Ringbom, 2007).”
The influence of bilingualism on third language acquisition: Focus on multilingualism (2011, background): “…on cross-linguistic influence in TLA has tried to identify the patterns of this influence at the phonological, lexical and syntactic levels as well as the factors that can predict this influence (De Angelis 2007; Ringbom 2007; Hammarberg 2009; Lindqvist & Bartel 2010; Wrembel, Gut & Mehlhorn 2010).”
Zero-Resource Translation with Multi-Lingual Neural Machine Translation (2016, methodology): “…multi-way, multilingual model can exploit multiple sources effectively without requiring any multi-way parallel corpus, and we will rely on this property together with the proposed many-to-one translation strategies in the later sections where we propose and investigate zero-resource translation.”
