 In particular, we experiment with a typologically diverse sample of 33 languages from 4 continents and 11 families, and show that our model yields comparable or better results than state-of-the-art, zero-shot cross-lingual transfer methods ; it increases performance by 4.49 points for POS tagging and 7.73 points for NER on average compared to the strongest baseline .

 In particular, we experiment with a typologically diverse sample of 33 languages from 4 continents and 11 families, and show that our model yields comparable or better results than state-of-the-art, zero-shot cross-lingual transfer methods . Moreover, we demonstrate that approximate Bayesian model averaging results in smoother predictive distributions, whose entropy strongly correlates with accuracy. Hence, the proposed framework also offers robust estimates of uncertainty .
