Language-centered AI will allow additional EU official languages for 2025

Diversity is socially beneficial, and therefore, language diversity too. Then, why not grant the official status to more languages at European level? In 2021, the costs associated with it are no longer an excuse. The potential of the new generation of machine translation, voice synthesis and voice recognition applications, which are getting readily available even for under-resourced languages like Basque, will allow Europe to promote and integrate more and more of its languages, and with it, its citizens.

Towards Zero-Shot Cross-Lingual Named Entity Disambiguation

In cross-Lingual Named Entity Disambiguation (XNED) the task is to link Named Entity mentions in text in some native language to English entities in a knowledge graph. XNED systems usually require training data for each native language, limiting their application for low resource languages with small amounts of training data.
