MUSTS: MUltilingual Semantic Textual Similarity Benchmark

ACL 2025short

Predicting semantic textual similarity (STS) is a complex and ongoing challenge in natural language processing (NLP). Over the years, researchers have developed a variety of supervised and unsupervised approaches to calculate STS automatically. Additionally, various benchmarks, which include STS dat…

Character-level Language Models for Abbreviation and Long-form Detection

COLING 2024main

Abbreviations and their associated long forms are important textual elements that are present in almost every scientific communication, and having information about these forms can help improve several NLP tasks. In this paper, our aim is to fine-tune language models for automatically identifying ab…

What do Large Language Models Need for Machine Translation Evaluation?

EMNLP 2024main

Leveraging large language models (LLMs) for various natural language processing tasks has led to superlative claims about their performance. For the evaluation of machine translation (MT), existing research shows that LLMs are able to achieve results comparable to fine-tuned multilingual pre-trained…

An Exploratory Analysis of Multilingual Word-Level Quality Estimation with Cross-Lingual Transformers

ACL 2021short

Most studies on word-level Quality Estimation (QE) of machine translation focus on language-specific models. The obvious disadvantages of these approaches are the need for labelled data for each language pair and the high cost required to maintain several language-specific models. To overcome these…

TransQuest: Translation Quality Estimation with Cross-lingual Transformers

COLING 2020main

Recent years have seen big advances in the field of sentence-level quality estimation (QE), largely as a result of using neural-based architectures. However, the majority of these methods work only on the language pair they are trained on and need retraining for new language pairs. This process can…
