Cultivar: A Contrastive and Locale-Oriented Translation Benchmark for Investigating Contamination and Localisation Robustness

Pinzhen Chen, Koel Dutta Chowdhury, Xiaoya Xu +20

Multilingual translation benchmarks are typically sourced in English and translated into other languages, treating language pairs as the unit of evaluation---a design that is prone…

Omnilingual SONAR: Cross-Lingual and Cross-Modal Sentence Embeddings Bridging Massively Multilingual Text and Speech

Omnilingual SONAR Team, João Maria Janeiro, Pere-Lluís Huguet Cabot +17

Cross-lingual sentence encoders typically cover only a few hundred languages and often trade downstream quality for stronger alignment, limiting their adoption. We introduce OmniSO…

XL-Suite: Cross-Lingual Synthetic Training and Evaluation Data for Open-Ended Generation

Vivek Iyer, Pinzhen Chen, Ricardo Rei +1

Cross-lingual open-ended generation - responding in a language different from that of the query - is an important yet understudied problem. This work proposes XL-Instruct, a novel…

Cultural Adaptation of Menus: A Fine-Grained Approach

Zhonghe Zhang, Xiaoyu He, Vivek Iyer +1

Machine Translation of Culture-Specific Items (CSIs) poses significant challenges. Recent work on CSI translation has shown some success using Large Language Models (LLMs) to adapt…

Quality or Quantity? On Data Scale and Diversity in Adapting Large Language Models for Low-Resource Translation

Vivek Iyer, Bhavitvya Malik, Pavel Stepachev +3

Despite the recent popularity of Large Language Models (LLMs) in Machine Translation (MT), their performance in low-resource languages (LRLs) still lags significantly behind Neural…

Code-Switching with Word Senses for Pretraining in Neural Machine Translation

Vivek Iyer, Edoardo Barba, Alexandra Birch +2

Lexical ambiguity is a significant and pervasive challenge in Neural Machine Translation (NMT), with many state-of-the-art (SOTA) NMT systems struggling to handle polysemous words…
