• Abstract: We introduce the Emergent Language Corpus Collection (ELCC): a collection of corpora generated from open source implementations of emergent communication systems across the literature. These systems include a variety of signalling game environments as well as more complex environments like a social deduction game and embodied navigation. Each corpus is annotated with metadata describing the characteristics of the source system as well as a suite of analyses of the corpus (e.g., size, entropy, average message length, performance as transfer learning data). Currently, research studying emergent languages requires directly running different systems which takes time away from actual analyses of such languages, makes studies which compare diverse emergent languages rare, and presents a barrier to entry for researchers without a background in deep learning. The availability of a substantial collection of well-documented emergent language corpora, then, will enable research which can analyze a wider variety of emergent languages, which more effectively uncovers general principles in emergent communication rather than artifacts of particular environments. We provide some quantitative and qualitative analyses with ELCC to demonstrate potential use cases of the resource in this vein.

  We propose XLM-P, which contextually retrieves prompts as flexible guidance for encoding instances conditionally. Our XLM-P enables (1) lightweight modeling of language-invariant and language-specific knowledge across languages, and (2) easy integration with other multilingual pre-training methods.

  We offer a survey of code-switching (C-S) covering the literature in linguistics with a reflection on the key issues in language technologies. From the linguistic perspective, we provide an overview of structural and functional patterns of C-S focusing on the literature from European and Indian contexts. From the language technologies perspective, we discuss how massive language models fail to represent diverse C-S types due to lack of appropriate training data.

  Cross-lingual summarization (MS) aims at generating a concise summary in a different target language. To collect large-scale CLS data, existing datasets typically involve translation in their creation. In this paper, we first confirm that different approaches of constructing CLS datasets will lead to different degrees of translationese.

  We introduce graph convolutional networks (GCNs) with universal dependency parses to learn language-agnostic sentence representations. GCNs struggle to model words with long-range dependencies or are not directly connected in the dependency tree. We propose to utilize the self-attention mechanism to learn the dependencies between words with different syntactic distances.

  We show that UGI techniques are appropriate to analyse emergent languages. We then study if the languages that emerge in a typical referential game setup exhibit syntactic structure. Our experiments demonstrate that a certain message length and vocabulary size are required for structure to emerge.

We then take advantage of our multi-view language vector space for multilingual machine translation, where we achieve competitive overall translation accuracy.
