An Expanded Massive Multilingual Dataset for High-Performance Language Technologies (HPLT)

ACL 2025long

Training state-of-the-art large language models requires vast amounts of clean and diverse textual data. However, building suitable multilingual datasets remains a challenge. In this work, we present HPLT v2, a collection of high-quality multilingual monolingual and parallel corpora, extending prior…

A New Massive Multilingual Dataset for High-Performance Language Technologies

COLING 2024main

We present the HPLT (High Performance Language Technologies) language resources, a new massive multilingual dataset including both monolingual and bilingual corpora extracted from CommonCrawl and previously unused web crawls from the Internet Archive. We describe our methods for data acquisition, ma…

Enriching Word Usage Graphs with Cluster Definitions

COLING 2024main

We present a dataset of word usage graphs (WUGs), where the existing WUGs for multiple languages are enriched with cluster labels functioning as sense definitions. They are generated from scratch by fine-tuned encoder-decoder language models. The conducted human evaluation has shown that these defin…

NB-MLM: Efficient Domain Adaptation of Masked Language Models for Sentiment Analysis

EMNLP 2021main

While Masked Language Models (MLM) are pre-trained on massive datasets, the additional training with the MLM objective on domain or task-specific data before fine-tuning for the final task is known to improve the final performance. This is usually referred to as the domain or task adaptation step. H…

Always Keep your Target in Mind: Studying Semantics and Improving Performance of Neural Lexical Substitution

COLING 2020main

Lexical substitution, i.e. generation of plausible words that can replace a particular target word in a given context, is an extremely powerful technology that can be used as a backbone of various NLP applications, including word sense induction and disambiguation, lexical relation extraction, data…
