AI总结:
本文提出了一种新的转写数据集和定制多语言模型,用于提高罗马化印地语和孟加拉语的转写效果。
摘要:
开发稳健的转写技术以提高将罗马化文字转换为原生文字的效果对于自然语言处理任务至关重要,包括情感分析、语音识别、信息检索和智能个人助理。尽管取得了显著进展,最先进的多语言模型在处理罗马化文字时仍面临挑战,因为罗马字母被用来表示不同语言的发音结构。在南亚背景下,罗马化文字在社交媒体和数字通信平台上广泛用于印欧语系语言,这种使用继续对先进多语言模型构成重大挑战。虽然为印欧语系语言提供了有限的转写数据集和模型,但它们通常缺乏足够的发音和拼写变化多样性、足够的代码混合数据用于大语言模型(LLM)训练以及低资源适应性。为了解决这一研究空白,我们引入了一个新的转写数据集,用于两种流行的印欧语系语言,印地语和孟加拉语,它们分别被列为全球第三和第七大语言。我们的数据集包含近180万个印地语和100万个孟加拉语转写对。此外,我们还基于Marian架构使用开发的数据集预训练了一个定制的多语言seq2seq LLM。实验结果表明,与现有相关模型相比,在BLEU和CER指标上取得了显著改进。
英文摘要:
The development of robust transliteration techniques to enhance the effectiveness of transforming Romanized scripts into native scripts is crucial for Natural Language Processing tasks, including sentiment analysis, speech recognition, information retrieval, and intelligent personal assistants. Despite significant advancements, state-of-the-art multilingual models still face challenges in handling Romanized script, where the Roman alphabet is adopted to represent the phonetic structure of diverse languages. Within the South Asian context, where the use of Romanized script for Indo-Aryan languages is widespread across social media and digital communication platforms, such usage continues to pose significant challenges for cutting-edge multilingual models. While a limited number of transliteration datasets and models are available for Indo-Aryan languages, they generally lack sufficient diversity in pronunciation and spelling variations, adequate code-mixed data for large language model (LLM) training, and low-resource adaptation. To address this research gap, we introduce a novel transliteration dataset for two popular Indo-Aryan languages, Hindi and Bengali, which are ranked as the 3rd and 7th most spoken languages worldwide. Our dataset comprises nearly 1.8 million Hindi and 1 million Bengali transliteration pairs. In addition to that, we pre-train a custom multilingual seq2seq LLM based on Marian architecture using the developed dataset. Experimental results demonstrate significant improvements compared to existing relevant models in terms of BLEU and CER metrics.
