Biaffine LSTM outperforms transformers in low-resource language parsing

A new paper evaluates dependency parsing models across languages with varying data availability, finding that simpler architectures like the Biaffine LSTM outperform complex transformer models in low-resource settings. This advantage shifts to transformers as more training data becomes available, with morphological complexity also influencing their performance. The findings suggest that the Biaffine LSTM may be more practical for developing syntactic tools for under-resourced languages until sufficient annotated data can be collected. AI
