Self-Augmented In-Context Learning for Unsupervised Word Translation

Yaoyiran Li, Anna Korhonen, Ivan Vulić

Recent work has shown that, while large language models (LLMs) demonstrate strong word translation or bilingual lexicon induction (BLI) capabilities in few-shot setups, they still…

On Bilingual Lexicon Induction with Large Language Models

Yaoyiran Li, Anna Korhonen, Ivan Vulić

Bilingual Lexicon Induction (BLI) is a core task in multilingual NLP that still, to a large extent, relies on calculating cross-lingual word representations. Inspired by the global…

Translation-Enhanced Multilingual Text-to-Image Generation

Yaoyiran Li, Ching-Yun Chang, Stephen Rawls +2

Research on text-to-image generation (TTI) still predominantly focuses on the English language due to the lack of annotated image-caption data in other languages; in the long run,…

Improving Bilingual Lexicon Induction with Cross-Encoder Reranking

Yaoyiran Li, Fangyu Liu, Ivan Vulić +1

Bilingual lexicon induction (BLI) with limited bilingual supervision is a crucial yet challenging task in multilingual NLP. Current state-of-the-art BLI methods rely on the inducti…

Improving Word Translation via Two-Stage Contrastive Learning

Yaoyiran Li, Fangyu Liu, Nigel Collier +2

Word translation or bilingual lexicon induction (BLI) is a key cross-lingual task, aiming to bridge the lexical gap between different languages. In this work, we propose a robust a…

Two-Headed Monster And Crossed Co-Attention Networks

Yaoyiran Li, Jing Jiang

This paper presents some preliminary investigations of a new co-attention mechanism in neural transduction models. We propose a paradigm, termed Two-Headed Monster (THM), which con…
