• Authors: Debjoy Saha, Naman Paharia, Debajit Chakraborty, Punyajoy Saha, Animesh Mukherjee
• Abstract summary: Social media often acts as breeding grounds for different forms of offensive content. We present an exhaustive exploration of different transformer models, We also provide a genetic algorithm technique for ensembling different models. Our ensembled models trained separately for each language secured the first position in Tamil, the second position in Kannada, and the first position in Malayalam sub-tasks.

• Abstract: Social media often acts as breeding grounds for different forms of offensive content. For low resource languages like Tamil, the situation is more complex due to the poor performance of multilingual or language-specific models and lack of proper benchmark datasets. Based on this shared task, Offensive Language Identification in Dravidian Languages at EACL 2021, we present an exhaustive exploration of different transformer models, We also provide a genetic algorithm technique for ensembling different models. Our ensembled models trained separately for each language secured the first position in Tamil, the second position in Kannada, and the first position in Malayalam sub-tasks. The models and codes are provided.

  In multilingual societies like India, text often exhibits code-mixing, blending local languages with English at different linguistic levels. This paper introduces a prompt based method for a shared task aimed at addressing word-level LI challenges in Dravidian languages. In this work, we leveraged GPT-3.5 Turbo to understand whether the large language models is able to correctly classify words into correct categories.

  Imit-MNMT treats the task as an imitation learning process, which mimicks the behavior of an expert. We show that our approach significantly improves the translation performance between the new and the original languages. We also demonstrate that our approach is capable of solving copy and off-target problems.

  This paper describes our multiclass classification system developed as part of the LTERAN@LP-2023 shared task. We used a BERT-based language model to detect homophobic and transphobic content in social media comments across five language conditions. We developed the best performing seven-label classification system for Malayalam based on weighted macro averaged F1 score.

  Morphologically rich languages pose difficulties to machine translation. A large amount of differently inflected word surface forms entails a larger vocabulary. Some inflected forms of infrequent terms typically do not appear in the training corpus. Linguistic agreement requires the system to correctly match the grammatical categories between inflected word forms in the output sentence.

  We propose a multilingual text classification framework for the Dravidian languages. On the one hand, the framework used the LaBSE pre-trained model as the base model. On the other hand, in view of the problem that the model cannot well recognize and utilize the correlation among languages, we further proposed a language-specific representation module.

  Language models based on the Transformer architecture have achieved state-of-the-art performance on a wide range of NLP tasks. However, this performance is usually tested and reported on high-resource languages, like English, French, Spanish, and German. Indian languages, on the other hand, are underrepresented in such benchmarks.

  We plug a cross-attention module into the Transformer encoder to explicitly build the interdependence between languages.

The proposed cross-lingual model delivers new state-of-the-art results on various cross-lingual understanding tasks of the XTREME benchmark.

  Cross-lingual Machine Reading (CLMRC) remains a challenging problem due to the lack of large-scale datasets in low-source languages. We propose a novel augmentation approach named Language Branch Machine Reading (LBMRC) LBMRC trains multiple machine reading comprehension (MRC) models proficient in individual language. We devise a multilingual distillation approach to amalgamate knowledge from multiple language branch models to a single model for all target languages.
