• Abstract: Multiword expressions are a key ingredient for developing large-scale and linguistically sound natural language processing technology. This paper describes our improvements in automatically identifying Romanian multiword expressions on the corpus released for the PARSEME v1.2 shared task. Our approach assumes a multilingual perspective based on the recently introduced lateral inhibition layer and adversarial training to boost the performance of the employed multilingual language models. With the help of these two methods, we improve the F1-score of XLM-RoBERTa by approximately 2.7% on unseen multiword expressions, the main task of the PARSEME 1.2 edition. In addition, our results can be considered SOTA performance, as they outperform the previous results on Romanian obtained by the participants in this competition.

  We propose the use of bilingual intermediate pretraining as a reliable technique to derive performance gains on three different NLP tasks using code-switched text. We achieve substantial absolute improvements of 7.87%, 20.15%, and 10.99%, on the mean accuracies and F1 scores over previous state-of-the-art systems. We show consistent performance gains on four different code-switched language-pairs (Hindi-English, Spanish-English, Tamil-English and Malayalam-English) for SA.

Results reveal that current SotA pretrained encoders substantially lag behind human performance.

  We propose a novel framework to align contextual embeddings at the sense level by leveraging cross-lingual signal from bilingual dictionaries only. We operationalize our framework by first proposing a novel sense-aware cross entropy loss to model word senses explicitly. We then propose a sense alignment objective on top of the sense-aware cross entropy loss for cross-lingual model pretraining, and pretrain cross-lingual models for several language pairs.

  Cross-lingual Summarization aims at producing a summary in the target language for an article in the source language. We propose a solution based on mixed-lingual pre-training that leverages both cross-lingual tasks like translation and monolingual tasks like masked language models. Our model achieves an improvement of 2.82 (English to Chinese) and 1.15 (Chinese to English) ROUGE-1 scores over state-of-the-art results.

  We extend existing approaches to learn sentence-level representations and show the effectiveness on cross-lingual understanding and generation. Specifically, we propose a Hierarchical Contrastive Learning (HiCTL) method to learn universal representations for parallel sentences distributed in one or multiple languages. We conduct evaluations on two challenging cross-lingual tasks, XTREME and machine translation.

• Improving Massively Multilingual Neural Machine Translation and Zero-Shot Translation [81.7786241489002]
  Massively multilingual models for neural machine translation (NMT) are theoretically attractive, but often underperform bilingual models and deliver poor zero-shot translations. We argue that multilingual NMT requires stronger modeling capacity to support language pairs with varying typological characteristics. We propose random online backtranslation to enforce the translation of unseen training language pairs.

• Knowledge Distillation for Multilingual Unsupervised Neural Machine Translation [61.88012735215636]
  Unsupervised neural machine translation (UNMT) has recently achieved remarkable results for several language pairs. UNMT can only translate between a single language pair and cannot produce translation results for multiple language pairs at the same time. In this paper, we empirically introduce a simple method to translate between thirteen languages using a single encoder and a single decoder.
