Papers with multilingual pretrained language model
Key ingredients for effective zero-shot cross-lingual knowledge transfer in generative tasks (2024.naacl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing studies have focused on zero-shot cross-lingual transfer . mBERT, mBART and mT5 provide high-quality representations for texts in various languages . |
| Approach: | They propose to use mBART and NLLB-200 to finetune a multilingual pretrained language model on input-output pairs in one language and use it to make task predictions for inputs in other languages. |
| Outcome: | The proposed approach significantly reduces generation in the wrong language with full finetuning and can be competitive in some cases. |
