• Abstract: In the human activity of word translation, two languages face each other, mutually searching their own language system for the semantic place of words in the other language. We discover the huge network formed by the chain of these mutual translations as Word Translation Network, a network where words are nodes, and translation volume is represented as edges, and propose Media of Langue, a novel interface for exploring this network. Media of Langue points to the semantic configurations of many words in multiple languages at once, containing the information of existing dictionaries such as bilingual and synonym dictionaries. We have also implemented and published this interface as a web application, focusing on seven language pairs. This paper first defines the Word Translation Network and describes how to actually construct the network from bilingual corpora, followed by an analysis of the properties of the network. Next, we explain how to design a Media of Langue using the Word Translation Network, and finally, we analyze the features of the Media of Langue as a dictionary.

  We take an initial step on measuring the role of shared semantics among subwords in the encoder-only multilingual language models (mLMs) We form "semantic tokens" by merging the semantically similar subwords and their embeddings. inspections on the grouped subwords show that they exhibit a wide range of semantic similarities.

  neural machine translation systems learn to map sentences of different languages into a common representation space. In this work, we test this hypothesis by zero-shot translating from unseen languages. We demonstrate that this setup enables zero-shot translation from entirely unseen languages.

  This paper introduces two new techniques for automatically propagating sentiment annotations from a partially annotated WordNet to its entirety and to a WordNet in a different language. We evaluated the proposed MSSE+CLDNS method extensively using Princeton WordNet and Polish WordNet, which have many inter-lingual relations. Our results show that the MSSE+CLDNS method outperforms existing propagation methods, indicating its effectiveness in enriching WordNets with emotional metadata across multiple languages.

  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.

  We use singular vector canonical correlation analysis to study what kind of information is induced from each source. We observe that our representations embed typology and strengthen correlations with language relationships. We then take advantage of our multi-view language vector space for multilingual machine translation, where we achieve competitive overall translation accuracy.
