• Abstract: This paper introduces "Media of Langue," a novel dictionary visualizing Inter-lingual semantic network/space. Our proposed Inter-lingual semantic network/space is formed solely from the accumulation of translation practices between two or more language systems, in contrast to existing semantic networks/spaces that explicitly use "intra"-lingual relations. By visualizing this network/space for humans, an Inter-lingual dictionary can be realized that points to the semantic place of many words at once with a chain of mutual translation, which also contains the functions of existing dictionaries such as bilingual and synonym dictionaries. We implemented and published this interface as a web application, focusing on seven language pairs. In this paper, we first describe Inter-lingual semantic network/space with its basic features and the way to develop it from bilingual corpora, then details the design of "Media of Langue," with a quick analysis and illustrative examples of use cases. Our website is www.media-of-langue.org. A demonstration video is available at https://youtu.be/98lXuX4yjsU.

  We evaluate our system in the AXOLOTL-24 shared task for Finnish, Russian and German languages. We use a graph-based clustering approach to predict mappings between unknown word usages and dictionary entries. Our system ranks first in Finnish and German, and ranks second in Russian on the Subtask 2 testphase leaderboard.

  In this paper, we define word-level information transfer pathways via word equivalence classes and rely on graph networks to fuse word embeddings across languages. Our experiments demonstrate the advantages of our approach: 1) embeddings of words with similar meanings are better aligned across languages, 2) our method achieves consistent BLEU improvements of up to 2.3 points for high- and low-resource MNMT, and 3) less than 1.0% additional trainable parameters are required with a limited increase in computational costs.

  Language neutrality of multilingual models is a function of the overlap between language-encoding sub-networks of these models. Using mBERT as a foundation, we employ the lottery ticket hypothesis to discover sub-networks that are individually optimized for various languages and tasks. We conclude that mBERT is comprised of a language-neutral sub-network shared among many languages, along with multiple ancillary language-specific sub-networks.

  Recently published graph neural networks (GNNs) show promising performance at social event detection tasks. We present a GNN that incorporates cross-lingual word embeddings for detecting events in multilingual data streams. Experiments on both synthetic and real-world datasets show the framework to be highly effective at detection in both multilingual data and in languages where training samples are scarce.

  We develop a technique that extrapolates multimodal alignments to language-only data by contextually mapping language tokens to their related images. "vokenization" is trained on relatively small image captioning datasets and we then apply it to generate vokens for large language corpora. Trained with these contextually generated vokens, our visually-supervised language models show consistent improvements over self-supervised alternatives on multiple pure-language tasks.
