• Title: Detecting Structured Language Alternations in Historical Documents by Combining Language Identification with Fourier Analysis
• Authors: Hale Sirin, Sabrina Li, Tom Lippincott
• Abstract summary: We introduce the task of detecting distinct patterns of multilinguality based on the frequency of structured language alternations within a document. We present a generalizable workflow to identify documents in a historic language with a nonstandard language and script combination, Armeno-Turkish.

• Abstract: In this study, we present a generalizable workflow to identify documents in a historic language with a nonstandard language and script combination, Armeno-Turkish. We introduce the task of detecting distinct patterns of multilinguality based on the frequency of structured language alternations within a document.

  We take the approach of developing curated synthetic data on a large scale, with specific properties. We use a new multiple-choice task and datasets, Blackbird Language Matrices, to focus on a specific grammatical structural phenomenon. We show that despite having been trained on multilingual texts in a consistent manner, multilingual pretrained language models have language-specific differences.

  We present a cross-lingual summarisation corpus with long documents in a source language associated with multi-sentence summaries in a target language.

We derive cross-lingual document-summary instances from Wikipedia by combining lead paragraphs and articles' bodies from language aligned Wikipedia titles.

• Language Lexicons for Hindi-English Multilingual Text Processing [0.0]
  The present Language Identification techniques presume that a document contains text in one of the fixed set of languages. Due to the unavailability of large standard corpora for Hindi-English mixed lingual language processing tasks we propose the language lexicons. These lexicons are built by learning classifiers over transliterated Hindi and English vocabulary.

  This paper presents an unsupervised document similarity algorithm that does not require parallel or comparable corpora. The algorithm annotates topics automatically created from documents in a single language with cross-lingual labels. Experiments performed on the English, Spanish and French editions of JCR-Acquis corpora reveal promising results on classifying and sorting documents by similar content.

  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.
