• Abstract summary: ChatGPT has shown strong capabilities in natural language generation tasks, which naturally leads researchers to explore where its abilities end. We compare ChatGPT with a multilingual XLM-RoBERTa language model that was fine-tuned on datasets, manually annotated with genres. Results show that ChatGPT outperforms the fine-tuned model when applied to the dataset which was not seen before by either of the models.

• Abstract: ChatGPT has shown strong capabilities in natural language generation tasks, which naturally leads researchers to explore where its abilities end. In this paper, we examine whether ChatGPT can be used for zero-shot text classification, more specifically, automatic genre identification. We compare ChatGPT with a multilingual XLM-RoBERTa language model that was fine-tuned on datasets, manually annotated with genres. The models are compared on test sets in two languages: English and Slovenian. Results show that ChatGPT outperforms the fine-tuned model when applied to the dataset which was not seen before by either of the models. Even when applied on Slovenian language as an under-resourced language, ChatGPT's performance is no worse than when applied to English. However, if the model is fully prompted in Slovenian, the performance drops significantly, showing the current limitations of ChatGPT usage on smaller languages. The presented results lead us to questioning whether this is the beginning of an end of laborious manual annotation campaigns even for smaller languages, such as Slovenian.

  Recent foundational language models have shown state-of-the-art performance in many NLP tasks in zero- and few-shot settings. An advantage of these models over more standard approaches is the ability to understand instructions written in natural language (prompts) This makes them suitable for addressing text classification problems for domains with limited amounts of annotated instances.

  Multitask prompted finetuning (MTF) has been shown to help large language models generalize to new tasks in a zero-shot setting. We apply MTF to the pretrained multilingual BLOOM and mT5 model families to produce finetuned variants called BLOOMZ and mT0. We find finetuning large multilingual language models on English tasks with English prompts allows for task generalization to non-English languages.
