• Abstract: At the beginning of 2022, a simplistic word-guessing game took the world by storm and was further adapted to many languages beyond the original English version. In this paper, we examine the strategies of daily word-guessing game players that have evolved during a period of over two years. A survey gathered from 25% of frequent players reveals their strategies and motivations for continuing the daily journey. We also explore the capability of several popular open-access large language model systems and open-source models at comprehending and playing the game in two different languages. Results highlight the struggles of certain models to maintain correct guess length and generate repetitions, as well as hallucinations of non-existent words and inflections.

  We show that multilingual models suffer from significant gender biases just as monolingual models do. We propose a novel benchmark, MAGBIG, intended to foster research on gender bias in multilingual models. Our results show that not only do models exhibit strong gender biases but they also behave differently across languages.

  This research examines vocabulary trimming (VT) inspired by restricting embedding entries to the language of interest to bolster time and memory efficiency. We apply two languages to trim the full vocabulary - Unicode-based script filtering and corpus-based selection - to different language families and sizes. It is found that VT reduces the memory usage of small models by nearly 50% and has an upper bound of 25% improvement in generation speed.

  A pooling strategy takes the subword representations as input and outputs a representation for the entire word. We show that the choice of pooling strategy can have a significant impact on the target language performance. We carry out our analysis with five different pooling strategies across nine languages in diverse multi-lingual datasets.

Our results show that this algorithm is capable of achieving these goals even for an extensive collection of game levels beyond those used for training.
