SrcMix: Mixing of Related Source Languages Benefits Extremely Low-resource Machine Translation (2026.findings-eacl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Multilingual models are widely used for machine translation, but their effectiveness for extremely low-resource languages (ELRLs) is dependent on how related languages are incorporated during fine-tuning. |
| Approach: | They propose a source-side mixing strategy that combines related ELRLs during fine-tuning while constraining the decoder to a single target language. |
| Outcome: | The proposed approach improves performance in high-resource to ELRL translations and in mid-resourced to MT translations. |
