• Abstract: Transformer based pre-trained models such as BERT and its variants, which are trained on large corpora, have demonstrated tremendous success for natural language processing (NLP) tasks. Most of academic works are based on the English language; however, the number of multilingual and language specific studies increase steadily. Furthermore, several studies claimed that language specific models outperform multilingual models in various tasks. Therefore, the community tends to train or fine-tune the models for the language of their case study, specifically. In this paper, we focus on Turkish maps data and thoroughly evaluate both multilingual and Turkish based BERT, DistilBERT, ELECTRA and RoBERTa. Besides, we also propose a MultiLayer Perceptron (MLP) for fine-tuning BERT in addition to the standard approach of one-layer fine-tuning. For the dataset, a mid-sized Address Parsing corpus taken with a relatively high quality is constructed. Conducted experiments on this dataset indicate that Turkish language specific models with MLP fine-tuning yields slightly better results when compared to the multilingual fine-tuned models. Moreover, visualization of address tokens' representations further indicates the effectiveness of BERT variants for classifying a variety of addresses.

  Large language models (LLMs) showcase varied multilingual capabilities across tasks like translation, code generation, and reasoning. Previous assessments often limited their scope to fundamental natural language processing (NLP) or isolated capability-specific tasks. We present a pipeline for selecting available and reasonable benchmarks from massive ones, addressing the oversight in previous work regarding the utility of these benchmarks. We introduce P-MMEval, a large-scale benchmark covering effective fundamental and capability-specialized datasets.

  This paper presents the first ablation study focused on Polish, which, unlike the isolating English language, is a fusional language.

  Recent research indicates that pretraining cross-lingual language models on large-scale unlabeled texts yields significant performance improvements. We propose a novel unsupervised feature decomposition method that can automatically extract domain-specific features from the entangled pretrained cross-lingual representations. Our proposed model leverages mutual information estimation to decompose the representations computed by a cross-lingual model into domain-invariant and domain-specific parts.

Our usage scenario is interactive correction with nearly zero amounts of training examples, improving models as more data is collected.
