SUMMARY:Bridging the world with words: Multilingual and multicultural natural language processing
DESCRIPTION:Despite the rapid advances in Large Language Models (LLM)\, research efforts have historically focused disproportionately on high-resource languages\, particularly English\, leaving over 7\,000 living languages underserved. We address the fundamental challenge of bridging the gap of low-resource language (LRL) translation in multilingual language models. Low-resource languages are typically characterized by a scarcity of both unlabeled and labeled data\, as well as limited tools and models. This talk explores strategies aimed at bridging the gap of low-resource language (LRL) translation in multilingual models\, where LRLs are characterised by a limited scarcity of both unlabeled and labelled data\, as well as limited tools and models.  Speaker(s): Dr. Lee\,   Room: 313\, Bldg: Bergeron Centre for Engineering Excellence\, 11 Arboretum Ln\, North York\, Ontario\, Canada\, M3N 3A7
