Training equally large models for other languages from scratch requires data and compute that are often unavailable. Ostendorff and Rehm propose CLP-Transfer, which transfers both across languages and across model sizes.

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… ## All works 7 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 2 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1. **[Neighborhood Contrastive Learning for Scientific Document Representations with Citation Embeddings ↗](https://aclanthology.org/2022.emnlp-main.802/) Proceedings of the 2022 Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing · no summary yet**Malte Ostendorff et al.*2022 · 116 citations* 2.
