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 · 85 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. 3. **[The Geometry of Multilingual Language Model Representations](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/chang-2022-geometry-multilingual-language-model-representations/)** *(2022 · 82 citations)* Multilingual language models are often described as mapping all languages into one common space. They also keep language-specific signals, and it has been unclear how both coexist geometrically. Chang, Tu and Bergen study this in XLM-R. They feed it OSCAR web text in 88 languages and use SVD to build a mean-shifted… ## All works 4 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. **[Language Model Behavior: A Comprehensive Survey](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/chang-2024-language-model-behavior-comprehensive-survey/)**Tyler A.
