• Title: Bloom Library: Multimodal Datasets in 300+ Languages for a Variety of Downstream Tasks
• Authors: Colin Leong, Joshua Nemecek, Jacob Mansdorfer, Anna Filighera, Abraham Owodunni, and Daniel Whitenack
• Abstract summary: In total, the initial release of the Bloom Library datasets covers 363 languages across 32 language families. Some of these first-of-their-kind baselines are comparable to state-of-the-art performance for higher-resourced languages.

• Abstract: We present Bloom Library, a linguistically diverse set of multimodal and multilingual datasets for language modeling, image captioning, visual storytelling, and speech synthesis/recognition. These datasets represent either the most, or among the most, multilingual datasets for each of the included downstream tasks. In total, the initial release of the Bloom Library datasets covers 363 languages across 32 language families. We train downstream task models for various languages represented in the data, showing the viability of the data for future work in low-resource, multimodal NLP and establishing the first known baselines for these downstream tasks in certain languages (e.g., Bisu [bzi], with an estimated population of 700 users). Some of these first-of-their-kind baselines are comparable to state-of-the-art performance for higher-resourced languages. The Bloom Library datasets are released under Creative Commons licenses on the Hugging Face datasets hub to catalyze more linguistically diverse research in the included downstream tasks.

  We focus on zero-shot sentiment analysis tasks across 34 languages, including 6 high/medium-resource languages, 25 low-resource languages, and 3 code-switching datasets. We demonstrate that pretraining using multilingual lexicons, without using any sentence-level sentiment data, achieves superior zero-shot performance compared to models fine-tuned on English sentiment datasets.

  We created SIB-200 -- a large-scale benchmark dataset for topic classification in 200 languages and dialects. For many of the languages covered in SIB-200, this is the first publicly available evaluation dataset for Natural Language Understanding. We found that languages unseen during the pre-training of multilingual language models, under-represented language families, and languages from the regions of Africa, Americas, Oceania and South East Asia often have the lowest performance on our topic classification dataset.

  We present PolyLM, a multilingual large language model (LLMs) trained on 640 billion (B) tokens, avaliable in two model sizes: 1.7B and 13B. To enhance its multilingual capabilities, we 1) integrate bilingual data into training data; and 2) adopt a curriculum learning strategy that increases the proportion of non-English data from 30% in the first stage to 60% in the final stage during pre-training. Further, we propose a multilingual self-instruct method which automatically generates 132.7K diverse multilingual instructions for model fine-tuning.
