Prompt-based for Low-Resource Tibetan Text Classification

Abstract

Text classification is a critical and foundational task in Tibetan natural language processing, it plays a crucial role in various applications, such as sentiment analysis and information extraction. However, the limited availability of annotated data poses a significant challenge to Tibetan natural language processing. This paper proposes a prompt learning-based method for low-resource Tibetan text classification to overcome this challenge. This method utilizes pre-trained language models to learn text representation and generation capabilities on a large-scale unsupervised Tibetan corpus, enabling few-shot Tibetan text classification. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method significantly improves the performance of Tibetan text classification in low-resource scenarios. This work provides a new research idea and method for low-resource language processing, such as Tibetan natural language processing. Hopefully, it will inspire subsequent work on low-resource language processing.
