Research probes language models' knowledge of different scripts

A new research paper explores whether language models possess knowledge of different scripts, a dimension of understanding that has been understudied compared to language selection. The study tested both small and large language models (SLMs and LLMs) on multi-scriptic languages to see if they could adapt their output script to match input and follow explicit instructions for script generation. The findings indicate that these models demonstrate substantial script knowledge, achieving high fidelity with the Latin script and frequently adhering to specified script instructions, though LLMs generally outperformed SLMs. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more robust language models capable of handling diverse scripts, improving multilingual applications and user interfaces.

    Are Language Models Script-Aware?

    arXiv:2610.08037v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Language models frequently generate outputs in unintended languages or scripts, a phenomenon known as off-target generation. While existing research has focused on language selection, the dimension of script knowledge remains unders…
