While LLMs demonstrate strong capabilities in English Relation Extraction (RE) tasks, a significant gap remains in assessing their RE performance in low-resource languages, due to a lack of standardized benchmarks. Creating native, language-specific annotated RE benchmarks is expensive and requires human expertise, while relying on translation yields suboptimal, inaccurate datasets that introduce English-centric biases. To tackle this, we propose a scalable, language-agnostic methodology to create RE data by denoising naturally occurring yet noisy alignments of knowledge bases and corresponding texts. We define a proper alignment via a Natural Language Inference (NLI) task, where a relation triplet is entailed by an input text. We empirically assess five denoising strategies and demonstrate that multilingual models outperform language-specific models in the few-shot LLM setting, while Hebrew-specific encoders remain competitive under NLI fine-tuning and are strongest in the label-free cross-training setting. We further find that prompting in the native language achieves performance on par with or slightly exceeding English prompts, confirming that the pipeline operates naturally in the target language. The best open-weights model, Gemma-4-31B-it (F1=0.915), matches the best API model, GPT-5.4 (0.921), and reaches F1=0.844 on a fully held-out, dual-annotated test set. Applying the optimized pipeline, we release HeRE: a novel, massive, 1.5-million-instance silver dataset for Hebrew RE, designed to support data-intensive experimentation and model fine-tuning. HeRE bridges a critical gap in standard Hebrew RE evaluation, while providing the NLP community with a reproducible, language-agnostic pipeline for RE dataset construction in other low-resource settings.

In this paper, I describe my submission to the SemEval-2024 contest. I tackled subtask 1 - “Semantic Textual Relatedness for African and Asian Languages”. To find the semantic relatedness of sentence pairs, I tackled this task by creating models for nine different languages. I then vectorized the text data using a variety of embedding techniques including doc2vec, tf-idf, Sentence-Transformers, Bert, Roberta, and more, and used 11 traditional machine learning techniques of the regression type for analysis and evaluation.

In this paper, we describe our submissions to the SemEval-2023 contest. We tackled subtask 12 - “AfriSenti-SemEval: Sentiment Analysis for Low-resource African Languages using Twitter Dataset”. We developed different models for 12 African languages and a 13th model for a multilingual dataset built from these 12 languages. We applied a wide variety of word and char n-grams based on their tf-idf values, 4 classical machine learning methods, 2 deep learning methods, and 3 oversampling methods. We used 12 sentiment lexicons and applied extensive hyperparameter tuning.
