Language Modeling for 250 High- and Low-Resource Languages](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/chang-2024-when-is-multilinguality-curse-language/)** *(2024 · 87 citations)* Multilingual language models are often used to support low-resource languages, but there is little direct evidence about how sharing a model with other languages affects modeling quality in any single language. 2. **[Why do language models perform worse for morphologically complex languages?](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/arnett-2025-why-do-language-models-perform/)** *(2025 · 53 citations)* Language models tend to perform better on fusional languages such as English than on agglutinative ones such as Turkish. 3. **[CommonLID: Re-evaluating State-of-the-Art Language Identification Performance on Web Data](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/suarez-2026-commonlid-re-evaluating-state-art/)** *(2026 · 3 citations)* Language identification (LID) is often treated as a solved task. In practice, it remains unreliable for many languages on noisy, mixed web text, which is the main source of multilingual pre-training corpora. Most existing benchmarks, such as FLORES, UDHR and Bible data, are clean, translated or religious, so they… 4. **[Weight Tying Biases Token Embeddings Towards the Output Space](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/lopardo-2026-weight-tying-biases-token-embeddings/)** *(2026)* Many language models share one matrix between the input embedding and the output (unembedding) layer, but it has been unclear what this sharing does to the learned representations. ## All works 5 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 4 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1. **[When Is Multilinguality a Curse?
