New pipeline boosts Belarusian machine translation quality

Researchers have developed a novel data-cleaning pipeline specifically for Belarusian language machine translation. This pipeline addresses issues such as dual orthographies, noisy training data, and interference from other languages, which are common challenges for Belarusian on the internet. Experiments show that filtering the training data significantly benefits fine-tuned language models, with LLM-based models experiencing roughly double the improvement compared to traditional encoder-decoder MT systems, highlighting data quality as a primary bottleneck for Belarusian MT.

IMPACT Improves machine translation capabilities for low-resource languages by addressing data quality issues.

    ReMova: Fine-tuning LLMs for English to Belarusian translation

    arXiv:2609.16427v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper presents a Belarusian-specific data-cleaning pipeline and fine-tuning for English-Belarusian machine translation. Our cleaning pipeline distinguishes itself from others by employing a correction tool that addresses the is…
