MultiSynt/MT: Trillion-Token Multi-Parallel Pre-Training Data Translated Across 36 Languages

Maximilian Idahl, Jörg Tiedemann, Sampo Pyysalo +19

Open web-scale pre-training corpora remain concentrated in English, limiting multilingual LLM development. We introduce MultiSynt/MT, an open synthetic parallel corpus with approxi…

Model-Based Quality Assessment for Massively Multilingual Parallel Data

Abdelaziz M. A. Ibrahim, Zihao Li, Jörg Tiedemann +1

Large-scale multilingual bitext often contains two distinct problems: non-parallel sentence pairs and low-quality translations. We decompose model-based assessment for such data in…

HPLT 3.0: Very Large-Scale Multilingual Resources for LLMs and MT. Mono- and Bi-lingual Data, Multilingual Evaluation, and Pre-Trained Models

Stephan Oepen, Nikolay Arefev, Mikko Aulamo +29

We present an ongoing initiative to provide open, very large, high-quality, and richly annotated textual datasets for almost 200 languages. At 30 trillion tokens, this is likely th…

Test-Time Scaling of Reasoning Models for Machine Translation

Zihao Li, Shaoxiong Ji, Jörg Tiedemann

Test-time scaling (TTS) has enhanced the performance of Reasoning Models (RMs) on various tasks such as math and coding, yet its efficacy in machine translation (MT) remains undere…

Massively Multilingual Adaptation of Large Language Models Using Bilingual Translation Data

Shaoxiong Ji, Zihao Li, Jaakko Paavola +2

This paper investigates a critical design decision in the practice of massively multilingual continual pre-training -- the inclusion of parallel data. Specifically, we study the im…

Scaling Low-Resource MT via Synthetic Data Generation with LLMs

Ona de Gibert, Joseph Attieh, Teemu Vahtola +5

We investigate the potential of LLM-generated synthetic data for improving low-resource Machine Translation (MT). Focusing on seven diverse target languages, we construct a documen…

GlotEval: A Test Suite for Massively Multilingual Evaluation of Large Language Models

Hengyu Luo, Zihao Li, Joseph Attieh +12

Large language models (LLMs) are advancing at an unprecedented pace globally, with regions increasingly adopting these models for applications in their primary language. Evaluation…

Rethinking Multilingual Continual Pretraining: Data Mixing for Adapting LLMs Across Languages and Resources

Zihao Li, Shaoxiong Ji, Hengyu Luo +1

Large Language Models (LLMs) exhibit significant disparities in performance across languages, primarily benefiting high-resource languages while marginalizing underrepresented ones…

EMMA-500: Enhancing Massively Multilingual Adaptation of Large Language Models

Shaoxiong Ji, Zihao Li, Jaakko Paavola +7

In this work, we introduce EMMA-500, a large-scale multilingual language model continue-trained on texts across 546 languages designed for enhanced multilingual performance, focusi…

A Comparison of Language Modeling and Translation as Multilingual Pretraining Objectives

Zihao Li, Shaoxiong Ji, Timothee Mickus +2

Pretrained language models (PLMs) display impressive performances and have captured the attention of the NLP community. Establishing best practices in pretraining has, therefore, b…
