• Abstract: Large language models follow a lineage of many NLP applications that were directly inspired by distributional semantics, but do not seem to be closely related to it anymore. In this paper, we propose to employ the distributional theory of meaning once again. Using Independent Component Analysis to overcome some of its challenging aspects, we show that large language models represent semantic features in their hidden states.

  We propose FUSE, an approach to approximating an adapter layer that maps from one model's textual embedding space to another, even across different tokenizers. We show the efficacy of our approach via multi-objective optimization over vision-language and causal language models for image captioning and sentiment-based image captioning.

  We introduce a novel MoE-CT architecture that separates the base model's learning from the multilingual expansion process. Our design freezes the original LLM parameters, thus safeguarding its performance in high-resource languages, while an appended MoE module, trained on diverse language datasets, augments low-resource language proficiency.

  In this thesis, we examine the efficacy of distributed representations from modern neural networks in encoding lexical meaning. We identify four sources of ambiguity based on the relatedness and similarity of meanings influenced by context. We then aim to evaluate these sources by collecting or constructing multilingual datasets, leveraging various language models, and employing linguistic analysis tools.
