Scaling Language Model Size in Cross-Device Federated Learning
Jae Hun Ro, Theresa Breiner, Lara McConnaughey +4
Most studies in cross-device federated learning focus on small models, due to the server-client communication and on-device computation bottlenecks. In this work, we leverage vario…
Mining Large-Scale Low-Resource Pronunciation Data From Wikipedia
Tania Chakraborty, Manasa Prasad, Theresa Breiner +2
Pronunciation modeling is a key task for building speech technology in new languages, and while solid grapheme-to-phoneme (G2P) mapping systems exist, language coverage can stand t…
Language ID in the Wild: Unexpected Challenges on the Path to a Thousand-Language Web Text Corpus
Isaac Caswell, Theresa Breiner, Daan van Esch +1
Large text corpora are increasingly important for a wide variety of Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks, and automatic language identification (LangID) is a core technology nee…
Automatic Keyboard Layout Design for Low-Resource Latin-Script Languages
Theresa Breiner, Chieu Nguyen, Daan van Esch +1
We present our approach to automatically designing and implementing keyboard layouts on mobile devices for typing low-resource languages written in the Latin script. For many speak…
