A paper describing the methodology will appear at #EACL2021: arxiv.org/abs/2101.08231
The model is trained on parallel data using contrastive and self-training losses. But it generalizes zero-shot to new language pairs without any training data! 2/3

Why do we need word alignments in the first place? We use them for lexicon learning, model analysis, and cross-lingual learning. For example, AWESOME aligner results in better cross-lingual results for annotation projection in NER. Check it out and we welcome comments/issues! 3/3
