• Abstract: These days different platforms such as social media provide their clients from different backgrounds and languages the possibility to connect and exchange information. It is not surprising anymore to see comments from different languages in posts published by international celebrities or data providers. In this era, understanding cross languages content and multilingualism in natural language processing (NLP) are hot topics, and multiple efforts have tried to leverage existing technologies in NLP to tackle this challenging research problem. In this survey, we provide a comprehensive overview of the existing literature with a focus on transfer learning techniques in multilingual tasks. We also identify potential opportunities for further research in this domain.

  The rapid development of Large Language Models (LLMs) demonstrates remarkable multilingual capabilities in natural language processing. Despite the breakthroughs of LLMs, the investigation into the multilingual scenario remains insufficient. This survey aims to help the research community address multilingual problems and provide a comprehensive understanding of the core concepts, key techniques, and latest developments in multilingual natural language processing based on LLMs.

• Multilingual Evaluation of Semantic Textual Relatedness [0.0]
  Semantic Textual Relatedness (STR) goes beyond superficial word overlap, considering linguistic elements and non-linguistic factors like topic, sentiment, and perspective. Prior NLP research has predominantly focused on English, limiting its applicability across languages. We explore STR in Marathi, Hindi, Spanish, and English, unlocking the potential for information retrieval, machine translation, and more.
