Language and Speech Technology for Central Kurdish Varieties
Sina Ahmadi, Daban Q. Jaff, Md Mahfuz Ibn Alam +1
Kurdish, an Indo-European language spoken by over 30 million speakers, is considered a dialect continuum and known for its diversity in language varieties. Previous studies address…
A Case Study on Filtering for End-to-End Speech Translation
Md Mahfuz Ibn Alam, Antonios Anastasopoulos
It is relatively easy to mine a large parallel corpus for any machine learning task, such as speech-to-text or speech-to-speech translation. Although these mined corpora are large…
A Morphologically-Aware Dictionary-based Data Augmentation Technique for Machine Translation of Under-Represented Languages
Md Mahfuz Ibn Alam, Sina Ahmadi, Antonios Anastasopoulos
The availability of parallel texts is crucial to the performance of machine translation models. However, most of the world's languages face the predominant challenge of data scarci…
BIG-C: a Multimodal Multi-Purpose Dataset for Bemba
Claytone Sikasote, Eunice Mukonde, Md Mahfuz Ibn Alam +1
We present BIG-C (Bemba Image Grounded Conversations), a large multimodal dataset for Bemba. While Bemba is the most populous language of Zambia, it exhibits a dearth of resources…
CODET: A Benchmark for Contrastive Dialectal Evaluation of Machine Translation
Md Mahfuz Ibn Alam, Sina Ahmadi, Antonios Anastasopoulos
Neural machine translation (NMT) systems exhibit limited robustness in handling source-side linguistic variations. Their performance tends to degrade when faced with even slight de…
LIMIT: Language Identification, Misidentification, and Translation using Hierarchical Models in 350+ Languages
Milind Agarwal, Md Mahfuz Ibn Alam, Antonios Anastasopoulos
Knowing the language of an input text/audio is a necessary first step for using almost every NLP tool such as taggers, parsers, or translation systems. Language identification is a…
GMNLP at SemEval-2023 Task 12: Sentiment Analysis with Phylogeny-Based Adapters
Md Mahfuz Ibn Alam, Ruoyu Xie, Fahim Faisal +1
This report describes GMU's sentiment analysis system for the SemEval-2023 shared task AfriSenti-SemEval. We participated in all three sub-tasks: Monolingual, Multilingual, and Zer…
On the Evaluation of Machine Translation for Terminology Consistency
Md Mahfuz ibn Alam, Antonios Anastasopoulos, Laurent Besacier +4
As neural machine translation (NMT) systems become an important part of professional translator pipelines, a growing body of work focuses on combining NMT with terminologies. In ma…
