• Abstract: The Nagamese language, a.k.a Naga Pidgin, is an Assamese-lexified creole language developed primarily as a means of communication in trade between the people from Nagaland and people from Assam in the north-east India. Substantial amount of work in sentiment analysis has been done for resource-rich languages like English, Hindi, etc. However, no work has been done in Nagamese language. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first attempt on sentiment analysis and emotion classification for the Nagamese Language. The aim of this work is to detect sentiments in terms of polarity (positive, negative and neutral) and basic emotions contained in textual content of Nagamese language. We build sentiment polarity lexicon of 1,195 nagamese words and use these to build features along with additional features for supervised machine learning techniques using Na"ive Bayes and Support Vector Machines. Keywords: Nagamese, NLP, sentiment analysis, machine learning

  We apply this work to teaching two Indian languages, Kannada and Marathi, which do not have well-developed resources for second language learning. We extract descriptions from a natural text corpus that answer questions about morphosyntax (learning of word order, agreement, case marking, or word formation) and semantics (learning of vocabulary). We enlist the help of language educators from schools in North America to perform a manual evaluation, who find the materials have potential to be used for their lesson preparation and learner evaluation.

  Figurative language permeates human communication, but is relatively understudied in NLP. We create a dataset for seven diverse languages associated with a variety of cultures: Hindi, Indonesian, Javanese, Kannada, Sundanese, Swahili and Yoruba. Our dataset reveals that each language relies on cultural and regional concepts for figurative expressions, with the highest overlap between languages originating from the same region. All languages exhibit a significant deficiency compared to English, with variations in performance reflecting the availability of pre-training and fine-tuning data.

• Informative Language Representation Learning for Massively Multilingual Neural Machine Translation [47.19129812325682]
  In a multilingual neural machine translation model, an artificial language token is usually used to guide translation into the desired target language. Recent studies show that prepending language tokens sometimes fails to navigate the multilingual neural machine translation models into right translation directions. We propose two methods, language embedding embodiment and language-aware multi-head attention, to learn informative language representations to channel translation into right directions.
