  1. VECO: Cross-lingual Pre-training

    VECO stands for “Variable and Flexible Cross-lingual Pre-training” which is a pre-training approach for cross-lingual language models that uses “Cross-Attention Masked Language Modeling” (CA-MLM) objective. VECO was proposed by Alibaba Group in 2020 and published in their “VECO: Variable and Flexible Cross-lingual Pre-training for Language Understanding and Generation” paper. The official code for this paper can be found on Alibaba’s official GitHub repository: alibaba/VECO. …

  2. mT5: Multilingual T5

    mT5 stands for “Multilingual Text-to-Text Transfer Transformer” which is a multilingual variant of T5 trained on 101 languages. mT5 was proposed by Google Research in 2020 and published in their paper: mT5: A Massively Multilingual Pre-trained Text-to-Text Transformer. The official code can be found on Google Research’s official GitHub repository: google-research/multilingual-t5. …

  3. AMBER

    AMBER stands for “Aligned Multilingual Bidirectional EncodeR” is a cross-lingual language model that adopts the same architecture as BERT; where the contextual embeddings of words/sentences with similar meanings across languages are aligned together in the same space. AMBER was proposed by Google Research in collaboration with Carnegie Mellon University in 2020 and published in their paper: Explicit Alignment Objectives for Multilingual Bidirectional Encoders. The official code for this paper can be found in this GitHub repository: amber. …

    InfoXLM stands for “Information-theoretic procedure for Cross-Lingual Modeling” which is a cross-lingual language model proposed by Microsoft in 2020 and published in their paper: InfoXLM: An Information-Theoretic Framework for Cross-Lingual Language Model Pre-Training. The official code for this paper can be found in Microsoft’s official UniLM GitHub repository: unilm/infoxlm. …

  5. LaBSE: Language-agnostic Sentence Embeddings

    LaBSE stands for “Language-agnostic BERT Sentence Embedding” which is a multilingual model the produces language-agnostic sentence embeddings for 109 languages. LaBSE model was proposed by Google AI in 2020 and published in this paper under the same name: Language-agnostic BERT Sentence Embedding. The official code for this paper can be found in the following TensorFlow Hub link: tfhub/LaBSE. …

  6. ALM: Alternating Language Modeling

    ALM stands for “Alternating Language Modeling” which is a novel cross-lingual pre-training method proposed by Microsoft in 2021 and published in their paper: Alternating Language Modeling for Cross-Lingual Pre-Training. The official code for this paper can be found in the following repository: ALM. …

2019

  1. XLM-R

    XLM-R stands for “Cross-lingual Language Modeling-RoBERTa” which was created by FacebookAI in 2019 and published in this paper: “Unsupervised Cross-lingual Representation Learning at Scale”. The goal of paper is to improve the XLM model’s performance on both cross-lingual and monolingual understanding tasks. XLM-R follows the XLM model architecture with a changes that improve the performance at scale. And these changes are: …
