Abstract:This paper presents a multi-way parallel English-Tamil-Sinhala corpus annotated with Named Entities (NEs), where Sinhala and Tamil are low-resource languages. Using pre-trained multilingual Language Models (mLMs), we establish new benchmark Named Entity Recognition (NER) results on this dataset for Sinhala and Tamil. We also carry out a detailed investigation on the NER capabilities of different types of mLMs. Finally, we demonstrate the utility of our NER system on a low-resource Neural Machine Translation (NMT) task. Our dataset is publicly released: this https URL.
