Omnilingual SONAR: Cross-Lingual and Cross-Modal Sentence Embeddings Bridging Massively Multilingual Text and Speech
Omnilingual SONAR Team, João Maria Janeiro, Pere-LluÃs 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…
Omnilingual MT: Machine Translation for 1,600 Languages
Omnilingual MT Team, Belen Alastruey, Niyati Bafna +29
High-quality machine translation (MT) can scale to hundreds of languages, setting a high bar for multilingual systems. However, compared to the world's 7,000 languages, current sys…
Translate, then Detect: Leveraging Machine Translation for Cross-Lingual Toxicity Classification
Samuel J. Bell, Eduardo Sánchez, David Dale +3
Multilingual toxicity detection remains a significant challenge due to the scarcity of training data and resources for many languages. While prior work has leveraged the translate-…
LCFO: Long Context and Long Form Output Dataset and Benchmarking
Marta R. Costa-jussÃ, Pierre Andrews, Mariano Coria Meglioli +10
This paper presents the Long Context and Form Output (LCFO) benchmark, a novel evaluation framework for assessing gradual summarization and summary expansion capabilities across di…
BOUQuET: dataset, Benchmark and Open initiative for Universal Quality Evaluation in Translation
The Omnilingual MT Team, Pierre Andrews, Mikel Artetxe +14
BOUQuET is a multi-way, multicentric and multi-register/domain dataset and benchmark, and a broader collaborative initiative. This dataset is handcrafted in 8 non-English languages…
Improving Language and Modality Transfer in Translation by Character-level Modeling
Ioannis Tsiamas, David Dale, Marta R. Costa-jussÃ
Current translation systems, despite being highly multilingual, cover only 5% of the world's languages. Expanding language coverage to the long-tail of low-resource languages requi…
