• Abstract summary: Cross-Lingual Semantic Parsing aims to translate queries in multiple natural languages into meaning representations. Existing CLSP models are separately proposed and evaluated on datasets of limited tasks and applications. We present XSemPLR, a unified benchmark for cross-lingual semantic parsing featured with 22 natural languages and 8 meaning representations.

• Abstract: Cross-Lingual Semantic Parsing (CLSP) aims to translate queries in multiple natural languages (NLs) into meaning representations (MRs) such as SQL, lambda calculus, and logic forms. However, existing CLSP models are separately proposed and evaluated on datasets of limited tasks and applications, impeding a comprehensive and unified evaluation of CLSP on a diverse range of NLs and MRs. To this end, we present XSemPLR, a unified benchmark for cross-lingual semantic parsing featured with 22 natural languages and 8 meaning representations by examining and selecting 9 existing datasets to cover 5 tasks and 164 domains. We use XSemPLR to conduct a comprehensive benchmark study on a wide range of multilingual language models including encoder-based models (mBERT, XLM-R), encoder-decoder models (mBART, mT5), and decoder-based models (Codex, BLOOM). We design 6 experiment settings covering various lingual combinations (monolingual, multilingual, cross-lingual) and numbers of learning samples (full dataset, few-shot, and zero-shot). Our experiments show that encoder-decoder models (mT5) achieve the highest performance compared with other popular models, and multilingual training can further improve the average performance. Notably, multilingual large language models (e.g., BLOOM) are still inadequate to perform CLSP tasks. We also find that the performance gap between monolingual training and cross-lingual transfer learning is still significant for multilingual models, though it can be mitigated by cross-lingual few-shot training. Our dataset and code are available at https://github.com/psunlpgroup/XSemPLR.

LUSIFER's architecture combines a multilingual encoder, serving as a language-universal learner, with an LLM-based embedding model optimized for embedding-specific tasks. We introduce a new benchmark encompassing 5 primary embedding tasks, 123 diverse datasets, and coverage across 14 languages.

  Cross-lingual transfer of language models trained on high-resource languages like English has been widely studied for many NLP tasks. We introduce XSGD for cross-lingual alignment pretraining, a parallel and large-scale multilingual conversation dataset. To facilitate aligned cross-lingual representations, we develop an efficient prompt-tuning-based method for learning alignment prompts.

  We present a multilingual bag-of-entities model that boosts the performance of zero-shot cross-lingual text classification. It leverages the multilingual nature of Wikidata: entities in multiple languages representing the same concept are defined with a unique identifier. A model trained on entity features in a resource-rich language can thus be directly applied to other languages.
