Cross-Lingual Transfer
A technique that exploits structure shared across languages, such as syntactic patterns, semantic regularities, and world knowledge, to transfer representations learned from high-resource languages to tasks in low-resource languages.

Transferring from a distant language such as English to Bengali coreference resolution degrades performance.
Transferring from Hindi to Bengali coreference resolution did not yield consistent gains across models.
The effectiveness of cross-lingual transfer is built on underlying structures shared across different languages (such as syntactic dependency patterns, semantic composition rules, and world knowledge).

Cross-lingual transfer learning, which enables acoustic knowledge accumulated in high-resource languages to be transferred to low-resource languages, is the core mechanism by which a single model supports 83 languages while maintaining consistent audio quality.
