Improving Semantic Proximity in English-Centric Information Retrieval through Cross-Lingual Alignment

ICLR 2026poster

With the increasing accessibility and utilization of multilingual documents, Cross-Lingual Information Retrieval (CLIR) has emerged as an important research area. Conventionally, CLIR tasks have been conducted under settings where the language of documents differs from that of queries, and typically…

Cross-Lingual Optimization for Language Transfer in Large Language Models

ACL 2025long

Adapting large language models to other languages typically employs supervised fine-tuning (SFT) as a standard approach. However, it often suffers from an overemphasis on English performance, a phenomenon that is especially pronounced in data-constrained environments. To overcome these challenges, w…

MIGRATE: Cross-Lingual Adaptation of Domain-Specific LLMs through Code-Switching and Embedding Transfer

COLING 2025main

Large Language Models (LLMs) have rapidly advanced, with domain-specific expert models emerging to handle specialized tasks across various fields. However, the predominant focus on English-centric models demands extensive data, making it challenging to develop comparable models for middle and low-re…

Metric Calculating Benchmark: Code-Verifiable Complicate Instruction Following Benchmark for Large Language Models

EMNLP 2025

Recent frontier-level LLMs have saturated many previously difficult benchmarks, leaving little room for further differentiation. This progress highlights the need for challenging benchmarks that provide objective verification. In this paper, we introduce MCBench, a benchmark designed to evaluate whe

Semantic Aware Linear Transfer by Recycling Pre-trained Language Models for Cross-lingual Transfer

ACL 2025finding

Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly incorporating multilingual capabilities, fueling the demand to transfer them into target language-specific models. However, most approaches, which blend the source model’s embedding by replacing the source vocabulary with the target language-specific voc…

KoCommonGEN v2: A Benchmark for Navigating Korean Commonsense Reasoning Challenges in Large Language Models

ACL 2024findings

The evolution of large language models (LLMs) has culminated in a multitask model paradigm where prompts drive the generation of user-specific outputs. However, this advancement has revealed a critical challenge: LLMs frequently produce outputs against socially acceptable commonsense standards in va…

Translation of Multifaceted Data without Re-Training of Machine Translation Systems

EMNLP 2024finding

Translating major language resources to build minor language resources becomes a widely-used approach. Particularly in translating complex data points composed of multiple components, it is common to translate each component separately. However, we argue that this practice often overlooks the interr…
