Multilingual models show significant sentiment misalignment, especially for Bengali

A new research paper highlights significant cross-lingual sentiment misalignment in multilingual language models, particularly affecting low-resource languages like Bengali. The study found that a compressed model architecture exhibited a 28.7% sentiment inversion rate, misinterpreting positive and negative meanings. Researchers also identified an "Asymmetric Empathy" issue where models alter the affective weight of Bengali text compared to its English translation, and a "Modern Bias" that leads to increased alignment errors when processing formal Bengali.
