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

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

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. AI

IMPACT This research could improve machine translation quality for under-resourced Turkic languages by optimizing cross-lingual transfer methods.

    Cross-Lingual Transfer for Machine Translation in Turkic Languages

    arXiv:2607.29355v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Cross-lingual transfer is central to low-resource machine translation, but its behavior within closely related language families remains insufficiently characterized. We study transfer among five Turkic languages; Turkish, Azerbai…
