Just Use XML: Revisiting Joint Translation and Label Projection

arXiv:2603.12021v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Label projection is an effective technique for cross-lingual transfer, extending span-annotated datasets from a high-resource language to low-resource ones. Most approaches perform label projection as a separate step after machine translation, and prior work that combines the two reports degraded translation quality. We re-evaluate this claim with LabelPigeon, a novel framework that jointly performs translation and label projection via XM
