Target-Agnostic Gender-Aware Contrastive Learning for Mitigating Bias in Multilingual Machine Translation
Minwoo Lee, Hyukhun Koh, Kang-il Lee +3
Gender bias is a significant issue in machine translation, leading to ongoing research efforts in developing bias mitigation techniques. However, most works focus on debiasing bili…
Not All Languages Are Created Equal in LLMs: Improving Multilingual Capability by Cross-Lingual-Thought Prompting
Haoyang Huang, Tianyi Tang, Dongdong Zhang +4
Large language models (LLMs) demonstrate impressive multilingual capability, but their performance varies substantially across different languages. In this work, we introduce a sim…
Chain-of-Dictionary Prompting Elicits Translation in Large Language Models
Hongyuan Lu, Haoran Yang, Haoyang Huang +3
Large language models (LLMs) have shown surprisingly good performance in multilingual neural machine translation (MNMT) even when trained without parallel data. Yet, despite the fa…
On the Pareto Front of Multilingual Neural Machine Translation
Liang Chen, Shuming Ma, Dongdong Zhang +2
