提出联邦提示调优,让低资源语言共享大模型能力。

Breaking Physical and Linguistic Borders: Multilingual Federated Prompt Tuning for Low-Resource Languages

  • 用联邦学习+提示调优,不共享数据也能多语言训练。
  • 在计算受限下比传统方法高6.9%准确率,提升数据效率。
  • 特别适合低资源语言,促进语言平等与多样性。

预训练大语言模型已成为现代自然语言处理的核心,其能力已覆盖多种语言和应用。然而,多语言大模型的微调,尤其是低资源语言,面临数据共享限制(物理边界)和语言差异(语言边界)的双重挑战,阻碍了低资源地区用户充分受益。为此,我们提出多语言联邦提示调优范式,在遵守数据隐私的前提下实现参数高效微调。通过一系列实验并引入语言距离新概念分析,结果表明:即使在计算受限条件下,该方法不仅显著提升数据效率,还能实现跨语言相互增强,尤其惠及低资源语言。相比传统本地跨语言迁移调优,本方法在准确率上高出6.9%,且具备更强稳定性与泛化能力。研究凸显了该方法推动社会公平与语言多样性的潜力,确保无一语言被遗忘。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Pre-trained large language models (LLMs) have become a cornerstone of modern natural language processing, with their capabilities extending across a wide range of applications and languages. However, the fine-tuning of multilingual LLMs, especially for low-resource languages, faces significant challenges arising from data-sharing restrictions (the physical border) and inherent linguistic differences (the linguistic border). These barriers hinder users of various languages, particularly those in low-resource regions, from fully benefiting from the advantages of LLMs. To address these challenges, we propose the Federated Prompt Tuning Paradigm for multilingual scenarios, which utilizes parameter-efficient fine-tuning while adhering to data sharing restrictions. We design a comprehensive set of experiments and analyze them using a novel notion of language distance to highlight the strengths of our paradigm: Even under computational constraints, our method not only improves data efficiency but also facilitates mutual enhancements across languages, particularly benefiting low-resource ones. Compared to traditional local cross-lingual transfer tuning methods, our approach achieves 6.9\% higher accuracy with improved data efficiency, and demonstrates greater stability and generalization. These findings underscore the potential of our approach to promote social equality and champion linguistic diversity, ensuring that no language is left behind.
