• Abstract: Natural Language Processing (NLP) relies heavily on training data. Transformers, as they have gotten bigger, have required massive amounts of training data. To satisfy this requirement, text augmentation should be looked at as a way to expand your current dataset and to generalize your models. One text augmentation we will look at is translation augmentation. We take an English sentence and translate it to another language before translating it back to English. In this paper, we look at the effect of 108 different language back translations on various metrics and text embeddings.

• Question Translation Training for Better Multilingual Reasoning [108.10066378240879]
  Large language models show compelling performance on reasoning tasks but they tend to perform much worse in languages other than English. A typical solution is to translate instruction data into all languages of interest, and then train on the resulting multilingual data, which is called translate-training. In this paper we explore the benefits of question alignment, where we train the model to translate reasoning questions into English by finetuning on X-English parallel question data.

  We translate a closed text that is known in advance and available in many languages into a new and severely low resource language. We compare the portion-based approach that optimize coherence of the text locally with the random sampling approach that increases coverage of the text globally. We propose an algorithm for human and machine to work together seamlessly to translate a closed text into a severely low resource language.

  We create a true Many-to-Many multilingual translation model that can translate directly between any pair of 100 languages. We build and open source a training dataset that covers thousands of language directions with supervised data, created through large-scale mining. Our focus on non-English-Centric models brings gains of more than 10 BLEU when directly translating between non-English directions while performing competitively to the best single systems of WMT.

  We propose the use of a multilingual transformer model, that we pre-train over English tweets and apply data-augmentation using automatic translation to adapt the model to non-English languages. Our experiments in French, Spanish, German and Italian suggest that the proposed technique is an efficient way to improve the results of the transformers over small corpora of tweets in a non-English language.

  Position encoding (PE) is used to preserve the word order information for natural language processing tasks, generating fixed position indices for input sequences. Due to word order divergences in different languages, modeling the cross-lingual positional relationships might help SANs tackle this problem. We augment SANs with emphcross-lingual position representations to model the bilingually aware latent structure for the input sentence.
