Our technique outperforms previous state-of-theart cross-lingual methods on Spanish, German, Chinese, Hindi and Tamil and performs competitively on Dutch (Table 1).
our method shows marked improvements over BWET, a wordby-word translation baseline, for languages such as German, Hindi, Tamil and Chinese that differ markedly in word ordering (with respect to English), demonstrating the impact of improved machine translation quality on final NER tagging accuracy.
