Completely Modular Fine-tuning for Dynamic Language Adaptation (2026.findings-eacl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing studies on multilingual fine-tuning with a fixed set of languages lack dynamic adaptability to new languages. |
| Approach: | They propose a modular fine-tuning pipeline that enables dynamic language adaptation for LLMs by first training English-centric adapters for each language separately and then merging them for arbitrary-direction translation. |
| Outcome: | The proposed pipeline achieves 86% performance over traditional fine-tuning on four languages, while training only 0.1% parameters and relying on English as a bridge language without catastrophic forgetting. |
