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…

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-…

Improving Language and Modality Transfer in Translation by Character-level Modeling

Ioannis Tsiamas, David Dale, Marta R. Costa-jussà

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…

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…

Towards Red Teaming in Multimodal and Multilingual Translation

Christophe Ropers, David Dale, Prangthip Hansanti +9

Assessing performance in Natural Language Processing is becoming increasingly complex. One particular challenge is the potential for evaluation datasets to overlap with training da…

MuTox: Universal MUltilingual Audio-based TOXicity Dataset and Zero-shot Detector

Marta R. Costa-jussà, Mariano Coria Meglioli, Pierre Andrews +6

Research in toxicity detection in natural language processing for the speech modality (audio-based) is quite limited, particularly for languages other than English. To address thes…

Seamless: Multilingual Expressive and Streaming Speech Translation

Seamless Communication, Loïc Barrault, Yu-An Chung +62

Large-scale automatic speech translation systems today lack key features that help machine-mediated communication feel seamless when compared to human-to-human dialogue. In this wo…

Added Toxicity Mitigation at Inference Time for Multimodal and Massively Multilingual Translation

Marta R. Costa-jussà, David Dale, Maha Elbayad +1

Added toxicity in the context of translation refers to the fact of producing a translation output with more toxicity than there exists in the input. In this paper, we present MinTo…
