Mitigating Catastrophic Forgetting in Language Transfer via Model Merging (2024.findings-emnlp)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Large language models have shown remarkable capabilities, particularly in English, but for less prevalent languages, performance can be significantly lower, making additional adaptation paramount. |
| Approach: | They propose a new adaptation method based on iteratively merging multiple models fine-tuned on a subset of available training data that reduces forgetting while maintaining learning on the target domain. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method outperforms LLAMA-3-8B-based models in German and German while maintaining learning on the target domain. |
Recovered in Translation: Efficient Pipeline for Automated Translation of Benchmarks and Datasets (2026.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing benchmarks suffer from semantic drift and context loss, which can lead to misleading performance metrics. |
| Approach: | They propose a fully automated framework to enable translation of large language models . they propose to use universal self-improvement and multi-round ranking methods to improve translation quality . |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework surpasses existing benchmarks in eight languages and improves translation quality across multilingual domains. |
