arXiv:2606. 13647v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We introduce SkMTEB, the first comprehensive MTEB-style text embedding benchmark for Slovak, a low-resource West Slavic language, comprising 31 datasets across 7 task types -- nearly 4$\times$ the depth of existing multilingual benchmark coverage for Slovak.
arXiv:2608. 07629v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multilingual neural machine translation models such as NLLB-200 cover 200 languages but leave thousands unsupported, including most Grassfields Bantu languages of Cameroon.
State-of-the-art retrieval models increasingly rely on closed training data, creating a reproducibility gap. We present an open end-to-end recipe for training retrieval models and study how English supervision transfers to multilingual retrieval through translate-train.
arXiv:2606. 31718v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Relation extraction (RE) for low-resource languages is typically constrained by the lack of annotated corpora.
Open web-scale pre-training corpora remain concentrated in English, limiting multilingual LLM development. We introduce MultiSynt/MT, an open synthetic parallel corpus with approximately 4.
arXiv:2510. 07074v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Instruction tuning has become a key technique for enhancing the performance of large language models, enabling them to better follow human prompts.
arXiv:2607. 04071v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Portuguese remains underrepresented in text embedding evaluation, despite being one of the most widely spoken languages in the world.
arXiv:2503. 05500v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: General-purpose multilingual vector representations, used in retrieval, regression and classification, are traditionally obtained from bidirectional encoder models.
arXiv:2608. 05785v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multilingual text embedding models are commonly adapted using a single training objective across diverse tasks, despite different tasks requiring fundamentally different optimization strategies.
arXiv:2509. 07829v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Literary translation has recently gained attention as a distinct and complex task in machine translation research, yet translation by small open models remains an open problem, particularly for low-resource languages such as Romanian.
arXiv:2608. 04586v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have achieved significant success in speech-to-text translation (S2TT).
arXiv:2608. 05850v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present MameLoshnLM, the first open-source 8B-parameter language model built specifically for Yiddish.
arXiv:2604. 18347v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Vision Language Models (VLMs) achieved rapid progress in the recent years.
