arXiv:2603. 26292v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Syllable-level units offer compact and linguistically meaningful representations for spoken language modeling and unsupervised word discovery, but research on syllabification remains fragmented across disparate implementations, datasets, and evaluation protocols.

MUDIDI is a two-stage framework designed to digitize multilingual dictionaries that are currently only available as scanned images. The first stage assesses character recognition and markup preservation, while the second stage segments dictionary entries and maps them into the SIL Multi-Dictionary Formatter schema. The authors also release a dataset of 30 annotated dictionaries and benchmark OCR, LLM, and VLM systems, finding that LLMs generally outperform others and that providing additional context improves digitization quality.

This paper proposed an algorithm for part-of-speech (POS) tagging senses of a bilingual dictionary. The algorithm is applied on the Al-Mawrid Arabic-English dictionary.
The paper presents a framework that combines human-curated vocabularies with a few human-written exemplars to enable large language models (LLMs) to generate coherent text in extremely low-resource or unseen languages. By sampling candidate words from a Zipfian distribution and providing syntactic signals, the method achieves fluent sentence-level generation and promising paragraph-level results across languages with varying resource levels. The study evaluates output quality using lexical diversity, off-target ratio, and human fluency judgments, demonstrating that reasoning-enabled LLMs can effectively bootstrap synthetic data even when digital resources are scarce.
