Cross-lingual transfer in Turkic languages shows strong pair-specific performance

Researchers have investigated cross-lingual transfer techniques for machine translation within the Turkic language family, focusing on Turkish, Azerbaijani, Uzbek, Kazakh, and Kyrgyz. Their findings indicate that transfer is most effective between closely related language pairs, such as Turkish and Azerbaijani, or Kazakh and Kyrgyz. The study also highlighted that the direction of transfer can influence performance, and that using Latin script can improve translation metrics like BLEU and chrF in certain contexts, though not universally across all metrics.
