Projection-based Data Augmentation and Adversarial Training for Robust Low-resource NER

Named Entity Recognition(NER) for low-resource languages aims to produce robust systems for languages where there is limited labeled training data available, and has been an area of increasing interest within NLP. Data augmentation for increasing the amount of low-resource labeled data is a common practice. In this paper, we explore the role of synthetic data in the context of multilingual, low-resource NER, considering 11 languages from diverse language families. Our results suggest that synthetic data does in fact hold promise for low-resource language NER, though we see significant variatio

Research goal: Does combining projection-based data augmentation with adversarial training enhance model robustness against entity boundary errors in low-resource language NER tasks?
