TransliCo: A Contrastive Learning Framework to Address the Script Barrier in Multilingual Pretrained Language Models

1 code implementation12 Jan 2024 Yihong Liu, Chunlan Ma, Haotian Ye, Hinrich Schütze

As a result, mPLMs present a script barrier: representations from different scripts are located in different subspaces, which is a strong indicator of why crosslingual transfer involving languages of different scripts shows sub-optimal performance.

MoSECroT: Model Stitching with Static Word Embeddings for Crosslingual Zero-shot Transfer

no code implementations9 Jan 2024 Haotian Ye, Yihong Liu, Chunlan Ma, Hinrich Schütze

In this paper, we introduce MoSECroT Model Stitching with Static Word Embeddings for Crosslingual Zero-shot Transfer), a novel and challenging task that is especially relevant to low-resource languages for which static word embeddings are available.

OFA: A Framework of Initializing Unseen Subword Embeddings for Efficient Large-scale Multilingual Continued Pretraining

1 code implementation15 Nov 2023 Yihong Liu, Peiqin Lin, Mingyang Wang, Hinrich Schütze

Instead of pretraining multilingual language models from scratch, a more efficient method is to adapt existing pretrained language models (PLMs) to new languages via vocabulary extension and continued pretraining.

On the Copying Problem of Unsupervised NMT: A Training Schedule with a Language Discriminator Loss

1 code implementation26 May 2023 Yihong Liu, Alexandra Chronopoulou, Hinrich Schütze, Alexander Fraser

By conducting extensive experiments on different language pairs, including similar and distant, high and low-resource languages, we find that our method alleviates the copying problem, thus improving the translation performance on low-resource languages.

A study of conceptual language similarity: comparison and evaluation

no code implementations22 May 2023 Haotian Ye, Yihong Liu, Hinrich Schütze

An interesting line of research in natural language processing (NLP) aims to incorporate linguistic typology to bridge linguistic diversity and assist the research of low-resource languages.

A Crosslingual Investigation of Conceptualization in 1335 Languages

3 code implementations15 May 2023 Yihong Liu, Haotian Ye, Leonie Weissweiler, Philipp Wicke, Renhao Pei, Robert Zangenfeind, Hinrich Schütze

The resulting measure for the conceptual similarity of two languages is complementary to standard genealogical, typological, and surface similarity measures.

Flow-Adapter Architecture for Unsupervised Machine Translation

no code implementations ACL 2022 Yihong Liu, Haris Jabbar, Hinrich Schütze

The primary novelties of our model are: (a) capturing language-specific sentence representations separately for each language using normalizing flows and (b) using a simple transformation of these latent representations for translating from one language to another.

Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface-induced Randomness for mmWave Key Generation

no code implementations31 Oct 2021 Shubo Yang, Han Han, Yihong Liu, Weisi Guo, Zhibo Pang, Lei Zhang

In this paper, for mmWave secret key generation of physical layer security, we use a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) to induce randomness directly in wireless environments, without adding complexity to transceivers.
