In this section we discuss potential future research avenues that may result in a closer and more effective integration of linguistic typology and multilingual NLP.
we discuss: (1) the extension of existing methods to new tasks, possibly exploiting typological resources that have been neglected thus far ( § 6.1); (2) new methods for injecting typological information into NLP models as soft constraints or auxiliary objectives ( § 6.2); and (3) new ways to acquire and represent typological information that reflect the gradient and contextual nature of cross-lingual variation ( § 6.3).
