稀疏混合专家(MoE)架构在参数扩展与计算效率间取得平衡,但低资源语言因训练数据少,其令牌常被路由到与高资源语言不同的专家,阻碍跨语言专家共享。为此,我们提出SARA(语义锚定路由对齐)框架,通过高资源语言的语义锚点引导低资源语言的路由分布,利用对称的JS散度约束实现路由一致性。不同于基于输出逻辑的蒸馏,SARA直接对齐MoE层内部的路由分布,促进跨语言专家选择的一致性。我们在2个LLM和5种低资源语言、3个基准上进行实验,结果表明SARA优于标准指令微调,如在Qwen3-30B-A3B上提升0.8%,在Phi-3.5-MoE-instruct上提升1.2%(Global-MMLU)。分析显示,SARA有效缓解了低资源语言的性能瓶颈,为稀疏架构中的多语言能力提升提供可扩展路径。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Sparse Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architectures have emerged as an increasingly influential paradigm as they offer a strategic balance between parameter scalability and computational efficiency. However, low-resource languages, which suffer from a scarcity of high-quality training data, often have their tokens routed to different experts than those predominantly activated by high-resource inputs, which limits cross-lingual expert sharing. This cross-lingual routing divergence consequently hinders their efficacy in multilingual contexts. To address this issue, we propose SARA (Semantically Anchored Routing Alignment), a framework designed to transfer specialized capabilities from high-resource languages as anchors to low-resource languages. SARA explicitly aligns the routing distribution of multilingual inputs with high-resource semantic anchors using a symmetric Jensen-Shannon (JS) divergence constraint. Unlike traditional distillation methods that operate on output logits, SARA directly aligns the internal routing distributions of MoE layers, encouraging mechanistic consistency in expert selection across languages. We conduct experiments on 2 LLMs across 5 low-resource languages and 3 benchmarks. Experiment results demonstrate that SARA outperforms standard instruction tuning, e.g., +0.8% on Qwen3-30B-A3B and +1.2% on Phi-3.5-MoE-instruct on Global-MMLU. Further analyses show that SARA effectively addresses performance bottlenecks in low-resource languages, providing a scalable pathway to enhance multilingual capabilities in sparse architectures.
