Researchers have identified that the performance disparity between low-resource and high-resource languages in large language models (LLMs) is linked to the geometric properties of their internal representations. A study comparing 30 languages found that LLMs exhibit representational degeneration in their final layers for languages with less available data. To address this, the researchers explored geometric regularization techniques during continued pretraining, finding that these methods can successfully reduce degeneration and offer marginal performance improvements, particularly for the most challenging tasks.
