• Abstract: Despite the widespread use of the Persian language by millions globally, limited efforts have been made in natural language processing for this language. The use of large language models as effective tools in various natural language processing tasks typically requires extensive textual data and robust hardware resources. Consequently, the scarcity of Persian textual data and the unavailability of powerful hardware resources have hindered the development of large language models for Persian. This paper introduces the first large Persian language model, named PersianLLaMA, trained on a collection of Persian texts and datasets. This foundational model comes in two versions, with 7 and 13 billion parameters, trained on formal and colloquial Persian texts using two different approaches. PersianLLaMA has been evaluated for natural language generation tasks based on the latest evaluation methods, namely using larger language models, and for natural language understanding tasks based on automated machine metrics. The results indicate that PersianLLaMA significantly outperforms its competitors in both understanding and generating Persian text. PersianLLaMA marks an important step in the development of Persian natural language processing and can be a valuable resource for the Persian-speaking community. This large language model can be used for various natural language processing tasks, especially text generation like chatbots, question-answering, machine translation, and text summarization

  Speech Emotion Recognition (SER) is a crucial component in developing general-purpose AI agents capable of natural human-computer interaction. Building robust multilingual SER systems remains challenging due to the scarcity of labeled data in languages other than English and Chinese. We propose an approach to enhance SER performance in low SER resource languages by leveraging data from high-resource languages.

  This paper introduces a new transformer-based model to measure semantic similarity between Persian informal short texts from social networks. It is pre-trained on approximately 104 million Persian informal short texts from social networks, making it one of a kind in the Persian language. It has been demonstrated that our proposed model outperforms ParsBERT, laBSE, and multilingual BERT in the Pearson and Spearman's coefficient criteria.

  Large multilingual pretrained language models (mPLMs) have become the de facto state of the art for cross-lingual transfer in NLP. We study and compare a plethora of data- and parameter-efficient strategies for adapting the mPLMs to romanized and non-romanized corpora of 14 diverse low-resource languages. Our results reveal that UROMAN-based transliteration can offer strong performance for many languages, with particular gains achieved in the most challenging setups.

  We propose a multilingual text classification framework for the Dravidian languages. On the one hand, the framework used the LaBSE pre-trained model as the base model. On the other hand, in view of the problem that the model cannot well recognize and utilize the correlation among languages, we further proposed a language-specific representation module.

  Cross-lingual Machine Reading (CLMRC) remains a challenging problem due to the lack of large-scale datasets in low-source languages. We propose a novel augmentation approach named Language Branch Machine Reading (LBMRC) LBMRC trains multiple machine reading comprehension (MRC) models proficient in individual language. We devise a multilingual distillation approach to amalgamate knowledge from multiple language branch models to a single model for all target languages.
