  • 用成对迁移矩阵测试五种突厥语间的翻译迁移能力
  • 土耳其语-阿塞拜疆语、哈萨克语-吉尔吉斯语对迁移最强
  • 拉丁化提升部分场景的翻译质量,适合低资源语言研究者

跨语言迁移在低资源机器翻译中至关重要,但其在紧密相关语族中的表现仍缺乏充分描述。我们研究了土耳其语、阿塞拜疆语、乌兹别克语、哈萨克语和吉尔吉斯语五种突厥语之间的迁移效果,采用成对迁移矩阵设置:每个模型用一个源语言微调,在不同目标语言上评估,而翻译目标保持一致。mT5实验显示,亲缘关系越近的语对迁移效果越强,尤其是土耳其语-阿塞拜疆语和哈萨克语-吉尔吉斯语。迁移方向有影响,同一源-目标对在不同翻译目标下表现不同。拉丁化在脚本不匹配的设置中提升了BLEU和chrF分数,但效果不一致。额外分析表明,迁移源在不同数据集和模型设置中表现稳定。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Cross-lingual transfer is central to low-resource machine translation, but its behavior within closely related language families remains insufficiently characterized. We study transfer among five Turkic languages; Turkish, Azerbaijani, Uzbek, Kazakh, and Kyrgyz; using pairwise transfer matrices. In this setting, each model is fine-tuned with one transfer source and evaluated on a different transfer target while the translation target remains the same. Across mT5 experiments, we find that transfer is strongest between closely related Turkic pairs, especially Turkish-Azerbaijani and Kazakh-Kyrgyz. We also show that transfer direction matters, and that the same transfer source-transfer target pair can behave differently when the translation target changes. Latinization improves BLEU and chrF in several script-mismatched settings, but its effect is not uniform across metrics. Additional analyses show that transfer sources are mostly stable across different datasets and model settings.
