XTREME-UP: A User-Centric Scarce-Data Benchmark for Under-Represented Languages
Sebastian Ruder, Jonathan H. Clark, Alexander Gutkin +24
Data scarcity is a crucial issue for the development of highly multilingual NLP systems. Yet for many under-represented languages (ULs) -- languages for which NLP re-search is part…
Searching for Needles in a Haystack: On the Role of Incidental Bilingualism in PaLM's Translation Capability
Eleftheria Briakou, Colin Cherry, George Foster
Large, multilingual language models exhibit surprisingly good zero- or few-shot machine translation capabilities, despite having never seen the intentionally-included translation e…
PaLM 2 Technical Report
Rohan Anil, Andrew M. Dai, Orhan Firat +125
We introduce PaLM 2, a new state-of-the-art language model that has better multilingual and reasoning capabilities and is more compute-efficient than its predecessor PaLM. PaLM 2 i…
The unreasonable effectiveness of few-shot learning for machine translation
Xavier Garcia, Yamini Bansal, Colin Cherry +5
We demonstrate the potential of few-shot translation systems, trained with unpaired language data, for both high and low-resource language pairs. We show that with only 5 examples…
Prompting PaLM for Translation: Assessing Strategies and Performance
David Vilar, Markus Freitag, Colin Cherry +3
Large language models (LLMs) that have been trained on multilingual but not parallel text exhibit a remarkable ability to translate between languages. We probe this ability in an i…
XTREME-S: Evaluating Cross-lingual Speech Representations
Alexis Conneau, Ankur Bapna, Yu Zhang +16
We introduce XTREME-S, a new benchmark to evaluate universal cross-lingual speech representations in many languages. XTREME-S covers four task families: speech recognition, classif…
