• Abstract: Linguistic diversity is a human attribute which, with the advance of generative AIs, is coming under threat. This paper, based on the contributions of sociolinguistics, examines the consequences of the variety selection bias imposed by technological applications and the vicious circle of preserving a variety that becomes dominant and standardized because it has linguistic documentation to feed the large language models for machine learning.

  This white paper proposes a framework to generate linguistic tools for low-resource languages. By addressing the data scarcity that hinders intelligent applications for such languages, we contribute to promoting linguistic diversity.

  We explore standard language ideology in language generated by large language models (LLMs) We introduce the concept of standard AI-generated language ideology, the process by which AI-generated language regards Standard American English (SAE) as a linguistic default and reinforces a linguistic bias that SAE is the most "appropriate" language.

  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.

• Diversity and Language Technology: How Techno-Linguistic Bias Can Cause Epistemic Injustice [4.234367850767171]
  We show that many attempts produce flawed solutions that adhere to a hard-wired representational preference for certain languages. As we show through the paper, techno-linguistic bias can result in systems that can only express concepts that are part of the language and culture of dominant powers. We argue that at the root of this problem lies a systematic tendency of technology developer communities to apply a simplistic understanding of diversity.

  multilingual language processing systems often exhibit a hardwired, yet usually involuntary and hidden representational preference towards certain languages. We show that biased technology is often the result of research and development methodologies that do not do justice to the complexity of the languages being represented. We present a new initiative that aims at reducing linguistic bias through both technological design and methodology.

• Democratizing Ethical Assessment of Natural Language Generation Models [0.0]
  Natural language generation models are computer systems that generate coherent language when prompted with a sequence of words as context. Despite their ubiquity and many beneficial applications, language generation models also have the potential to inflict social harms. Ethical assessment of these models is therefore critical. This article introduces a new tool to democratize and standardize ethical assessment of natural language generation models.

Experiments are conducted on cross-lingual benchmarks and significant improvements are achieved compared to strong baselines.

  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.
