A Measure for Transparent Comparison of Linguistic Diversity in Multilingual NLP Data Sets (2024.findings-naacl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | a new study aims to assess linguistic diversity of multilingual data sets against a reference language sample . linguistic diversity is typically measured as the number of languages included in the data set . but such measures do not consider structural properties of the included languages . |
| Approach: | They propose to measure linguistic diversity against a reference language sample to maximise linguistic diversity. |
| Outcome: | The proposed measure can be used to identify the types of languages that are not represented in a data set. |
FSTs vs ICL: Generalisation in LLMs for an under-resourced language (2025.findings-emnlp)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | LLMs have been widely adopted to tackle many traditional NLP tasks, but their effectiveness remains uncertain in scenarios where pre-trained models have limited prior knowledge of a language. |
| Approach: | They propose a rule-based method using a finite-state transducer and an in-context learning method that provides the model with string transduction examples. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method outperforms FSTs in zero-shot settings while ICL surpasses FLMs. |
