Social media platforms enable large-scale cross-lingual communication, yet translating user-generated content (UGC) remains challenging due to its informal style, culture-laden expressions, and interaction-driven nuances. While recent LLMs have advanced translation quality, existing benchmarks and m…
Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in tool learning. In real-world scenarios, user queries are often ambiguous and incomplete, requiring effective clarification. However, existing interactive clarification approaches face two critical limitations: reliance on manu
Large language models (LLMs) exhibit remarkable multilingual capabilities despite English-dominated pre-training, attributed to cross-lingual mechanisms during pre-training. Existing methods for enhancing cross-lingual transfer remain constrained by parallel resources, suffering from limited linguis
Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) with translated instruction data effectively adapts Large Language Models (LLMs) from English to non-English languages. We introduce Cross-Lingual Continued Instruction Tuning (X-CIT), which fully leverages translation-based parallel instruction data to enhance cross-lin…
The reflection capacity of Large Language Model (LLM) has garnered extensive attention. A post-hoc prompting strategy, e.g., reflexion and self-refine, refines LLM’s response based on self-evaluated or external feedback. However, recent research indicates without external feedback, LLM’s intrinsic r…
Theory of Mind (ToM)—the cognitive ability to reason about mental states of ourselves and others, is the foundation of social interaction. Although ToM comes naturally to humans, it poses a significant challenge to even the most advanced Large Language Models (LLMs). Due to the complex logical chain…
Model-agnostic meta-learning has garnered attention as a promising technique for enhancing few-shot cross-lingual transfer learning in low-resource scenarios. However, little attention was paid to the impact of data selection strategies on this cross-lingual meta-transfer method, particularly the sa…
Cross-lingual transfer learning heavily relies on well-aligned cross-lingual representations. The syntactic structure is recognized as beneficial for cross-lingual transfer, but limited researches utilize it for aligning representation in multilingual pre-trained language models (PLMs). Additionally…
Multilingual pre-trained models are able to zero-shot transfer knowledge from rich-resource to low-resource languages in machine reading comprehension (MRC). However, inherent linguistic discrepancies in different languages could make answer spans predicted by zero-shot transfer violate syntactic co…
