The authors examine which units of text NLP models should operate on: words, subwords, characters, bytes, or even pixels. The paper offers no new data and no method of its own. Instead, it connects research from the pre-neural and neural… 2. **[Monolingual Adapters for Zero-Shot Neural Machine Translation](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/philip-2020-monolingual-adapters-zero-shot-neural/)** *(2020 · 114 citations)* Multilingual NMT systems can, in principle, translate between language pairs never observed during training, but this zero-shot quality is usually poor. ## All works 4 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. **[Back to Basics: Revisiting REINFORCE-Style Optimization for Learning from Human Feedback in LLMs ↗](https://aclanthology.org/2024.acl-long.662/) Proceedings of the 62nd Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (Volume 1: Long Papers) · no summary yet**Arash Ahmadian et al.*2024 · 201 citations* 2.
