| Challenge: | Evaluating cross-lingual knowledge transfer in large language models is challenging, as correct answers in a target language may arise either from genuine transfer or from prior exposure during pre-training. |
| Approach: | They propose a pipeline to isolate and measure cross-lingual knowledge transfer by identifying self-contained, time-sensitive knowledge entities from real-world domains and generating factual questions. |
| Outcome: | The proposed pipeline analyzes multiple LLMs across five languages and shows that cross-lingual transfer is strongly influenced by linguistic distance and often asymmetric across language directions. |

| Challenge: | Large Language Models are capable of recalling multilingual factual knowledge, but most studies evaluate only the final model, leaving the development of factual recall and crosslingual consistency unexplored. |
| Approach: | They trace how factual recall and crosslingual consistency evolve during pretraining, focusing on OLMo-7B as a case study. |
| Outcome: | The results show that fact frequency is the key to a better recall of multilingual facts, regardless of language, and some low-frequency facts in non-English languages can still be correctly recalled. |
Are Knowledge and Reference in Multilingual Language Models Cross-Lingually Consistent? (2025.findings-emnlp)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Cross-lingual consistency should be considered to assess cross-lingual transferability, maintain factuality of model knowledge across languages, and preserve parity of language model performance. |
| Approach: | They examine pretrained and tuned models with code-mixed coreferential statements that convey identical knowledge across languages. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model shows different levels of consistency in multilingual models, subject to language families, linguistic factors, scripts, and bottlenecks on a particular layer. |
