Such models are attractive where cost, latency, privacy or offline use matter, but they often hallucinate on underrepresented languages. The authors first benchmark several small decoder-only models (Llama-3.x… 2. **[Testing Low-Resource Language Support in LLMs Using Language Proficiency Exams: the Case of Luxembourgish](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/lothritz-2025-testing-low-resource-language-support/)** *(2025 · 3 citations)* Evaluation resources for Luxembourgish, a language with about 600,000 speakers, are scarce. Most LLMs are built mainly for English, so it is unclear how well they handle it. The authors ask whether official language proficiency exams can serve as a benchmark. They obtained unpublished exams from the Institut National… 3. **[ltzGLUE: Luxembourgish General Language Understanding Evaluation](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/plum-2026-ltzglue-luxembourgish-general-language-understanding/)** *(2026)* Luxembourgish (LTZ) has roughly 400k speakers and few NLU resources. Most existing tasks come from news text and often contain under a thousand instances, so model comparisons for the language are unreliable. The authors address this with ltzGLUE, a GLUE-style benchmark of eight sentence- and token-level… ## All works 8 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 3 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1. **[LuxemBERT: Simple and Practical Data Augmentation in Language Model Pre-Training for Luxembourgish ↗](https://aclanthology.org/2022.lrec-1.543/) Proceedings of the Thirteenth Language Resources and Evaluation Conference · no summary yet**Cedric Lothritz et al.*2022 · 27 citations* 2. **[Comparing Pre-Training Schemes for Luxembourgish BERT Models ↗](https://aclanthology.org/2023.konvens-main.2/) Proceedings of the 19th Conference on Natural Language Processing (KONVENS 2023) · no summary yet**Cedric Lothritz et al.*2023 · 4 citations* 3. **[Are Small Language Models the Silver Bullet to Low-Resource Languages Machine Translation?](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/song-2026-are-small-language-models-silver/) [Workshop on Technologies for Machine Translation of Low-Resource Languages (LoResMT)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/loresmt/)**Yewei Song, Lujun Li, Cedric Lothritz, et al.*2026 · 3 citations* 4. **[Testing Low-Resource Language Support in LLMs Using Language Proficiency Exams: the Case of Luxembourgish](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/lothritz-2025-testing-low-resource-language-support/) [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/)**Cedric Lothritz, Jordi Cabot, Laura Bernardy*2025 · 3 citations* 5. **[Evaluating Data Augmentation Techniques for the Training of Luxembourgish Language Models ↗](https://aclanthology.org/2023.konvens-main.18/) Proceedings of the 19th Conference on Natural Language Processing (KONVENS 2023) · no summary yet**Isabella Olariu et al.*2023 · 2 citations* 6. **[Do Large Language Models Grasp the Grammar?
