升级版语言知识库URIEL+扩大覆盖并优化计算，更贴合语言研究需求。
URIEL+: Enhancing Linguistic Inclusion and Usability in a Typological and Multilingual Knowledge Base
- 扩展2898种语言的类型学特征，提升语言包容性
- 支持可定制的距离计算，用户交互体验显著改善
- 在下游任务中表现优异，适合语言学与跨语言研究者
URIEL是一个知识库，为7970种语言提供地理、谱系和类型学向量表示，并为4005种语言提供向量间距离度量，可通过lang2vec工具访问。尽管被频繁引用，但URIEL在语言包容性和可用性方面存在局限。为此，我们推出URIEL+，作为URIEL和lang2vec的增强版本，解决了这些不足。除了扩展2898种语言的类型学特征覆盖外，URIEL+还改进了用户界面，支持更稳健、可定制的距离计算，更好地满足用户需求。这些升级在下游任务中表现竞争性，且其距离度量更符合语言距离研究的实际认知。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
URIEL is a knowledge base offering geographical, phylogenetic, and typological vector representations for 7970 languages. It includes distance measures between these vectors for 4005 languages, which are accessible via the lang2vec tool. Despite being frequently cited, URIEL is limited in terms of linguistic inclusion and overall usability. To tackle these challenges, we introduce URIEL+, an enhanced version of URIEL and lang2vec that addresses these limitations. In addition to expanding typological feature coverage for 2898 languages, URIEL+ improves the user experience with robust, customizable distance calculations to better suit the needs of users. These upgrades also offer competitive performance on downstream tasks and provide distances that better align with linguistic distance studies.
