TL;DR

Findings highlight the complementary nature of WiC and WSD and demonstrate that unified training strategies can yield more robust and generalizable sense disambiguation models, and provide practical guidance for designing datasets and models in multilingual and low-resource contexts.

WiC is Not WSD: A Study on LLMs and Lexical Ambiguity Resolution

Word-in-Context (WiC) remains challenging for language models, despite recent progress on lexical-semantic tasks. We hypothesise that this difficulty arises not only from comparing two contextual uses of a word, but also from the absence of an explicit sense inventory that specifies the relevant level of semantic granu...

Ensemble-Based Approach for Amazigh POS Tagging: Leveraging Multiple Models for Enhanced Performance in Low-Resource Language Processing

The results show that hybrid ensemble methods can improve token-level accuracy in low-resource POS tagging, while also revealing a trade-off between frequent-tag accuracy and rare-tag robustness.

Predicting Multilingual Classification and Translation Performance of LLMs with Cross-Lingual Alignment -- Is English Enough?

A PMI-based translation metric is proposed, which is less dependent on the target language and correlates strongly with chrF, and finds that CLA with English predicts translation quality comparably to or better than source-target CLA.
