LatentMT: Machine Translation with Latent Reasoning
Wei-Rui Chen, Samar M. Magdy, Chiyu Zhang +3
Latent-reasoning looped language models (LoopLMs) offer a different scaling path for machine translation (MT): instead of increasing parameter count or emitting explicit chain-of-t…
Distilling the Essence: Efficient Reasoning Distillation via Sequence Truncation
Wei-Rui Chen, Vignesh Kothapalli, Ata Fatahibaarzi +5
Distilling the capabilities from a large reasoning model (LRM) to a smaller student model often involves training on substantial amounts of reasoning data. However, knowledge disti…
Interplay of Machine Translation, Diacritics, and Diacritization
Wei-Rui Chen, Ife Adebara, Muhammad Abdul-Mageed
We investigate two research questions: (1) how do machine translation (MT) and diacritization influence the performance of each other in a multi-task learning setting (2) the effec…
Fumbling in Babel: An Investigation into ChatGPT's Language Identification Ability
Wei-Rui Chen, Ife Adebara, Khai Duy Doan +2
ChatGPT has recently emerged as a powerful NLP tool that can carry out a variety of tasks. However, the range of languages ChatGPT can handle remains largely a mystery. To uncover…
Improving Neural Machine Translation of Indigenous Languages with Multilingual Transfer Learning
Wei-Rui Chen, Muhammad Abdul-Mageed
Machine translation (MT) involving Indigenous languages, including those possibly endangered, is challenging due to lack of sufficient parallel data. We describe an approach exploi…
Machine Translation of Low-Resource Indo-European Languages
Wei-Rui Chen, Muhammad Abdul-Mageed
In this work, we investigate methods for the challenging task of translating between low-resource language pairs that exhibit some level of similarity. In particular, we consider t…
IndT5: A Text-to-Text Transformer for 10 Indigenous Languages
El Moatez Billah Nagoudi, Wei-Rui Chen, Muhammad Abdul-Mageed +1
Transformer language models have become fundamental components of natural language processing based pipelines. Although several Transformer models have been introduced to serve man…
