A new paper argues that low-resource natural language processing (NLP) requires a combination of cross-lingual transfer and language-specific development. While cross-lingual transfer can boost performance using data from high-resource languages, its effectiveness is limited by the availability of quality target-language data. The research suggests that language-specific efforts, though often limited in scale, are most potent when integrated within a cross-lingual framework. The paper offers guidelines for balancing these two approaches in sustainable low-resource NLP pipelines. AI
