Abstract

: In an era of increasing demand for robust multilingual natural language processing, leveraging advanced transfer learning techniques has become essential. This paper explores the application of the GPT-2 model using a comprehensive Serbian dataset of 750 million tokens. By employing meticulous data preprocessing, effective tokenization, and precise hyperparameter optimization with Optuna, the model's performance in language tasks is significantly improved. These findings underscore the model's adaptability to diverse linguistic contexts, facilitating deployment in real-world applications. The significant performance improvements highlight broader applicability in multilingual AI environments. The paper addresses key challenges such as data heterogeneity and computational efficiency, providing insights and proposing strategies for future research. By overcoming these challenges, the research demonstrates the transformative potential of refined GPT-2 models in multilingual AI. The advancements made lay a solid foundation for further exploration and refinement of multilingual language models, paving the way for more inclusive and accurate AI-driven communication tools.

Large Language Model Technologies: Progress, Problems and Prospects

Large language models (LLMs) are built on the classic Transformer architecture and have become a core driving force for the rapid development of modern artificial intelligence. This paper presents a systematic review of LLMs, elaborating on their fundamental working principles, mainstream open-source models, effective lightweight optimization methods, retrieval-augmented generation frameworks and key human-value-aligned technologies. Nowadays, LLMs have been widely applied in practice. Typical scenarios include intelligent text generation, professional knowledge-based question answering and automated code generation, delivering remarkable value to both industries and academia. However, their large-scale industrial application is still restricted by multiple challenges. The major issues involve content hallucination, poor model interpretability, excessive computing resource consumption, potential ethical risks and unsatisfactory multimodal integration capability. This paper also forecasts the future development directions of LLMs, such as lightweight deployment on edge devices, safety-focused human value alignment, in-depth cross-modal fusion and customized large models for vertical industries. Additionally, it collects a number of representative cases, which can offer solid references and practical guidance for relevant researchers and engineering practitioners to carry out further studies.

Advancing Large Language Models for Low-Resource Languages: A Systematic Review of Pretraining, Adaptation, and Ethical Challenges

: In recent years, the rapid advancement of Large Language Models (LLMs) has significantly transformed natural language processing (NLP), enabling impressive performance across a wide range of tasks. However, these developments have largely benefited high-resource languages, leaving many low-resource and underrepresented languages at risk of further digital marginalization. Addressing this imbalance is crucial to building more inclusive and culturally sustainable AI systems, which is motivating growing research interest in adapting LLMs for linguistically diverse and resource-scarce communities. This systematic review examines recent progress (2020–2025) in the pretraining and adaptation of LLMs for Low-Resource Languages (LRLs). Analysed 812 records obtained in the large databases and using PRISMA criteria, 140 core studies were identified. The innovations in data augmentation and parameter-efficient fine-tuning approaches can be outlined in this selection process. It combines major innovations on data-driven augmentation, parameter-efficient fine-tuning and morphologically rich and underrepresented language script-sensitive tokenization. The results highlight the growing effectiveness of culturally aware standards such as IrokoBench and BLEnD and show that approaches to lightweight adaptation eliminate high computational costs while maintaining language accuracy. The review focuses on the ethics in AI practice, the development of corpora through communities, and interdisciplinary research collaboration among computational linguists, social scientists, and digital humanists. The task of generating a diversified dataset, typology-conscious modelling strategies, and open-source multilingual benchmarks should be prioritized in future research as one possible solution to the existing digital language gap worldwide.

Applications of Natural Language Processing: A Comprehensive Study

Abstract--Natural Language Processing (NLP) has emerged as a major branch of Artificial Intelligence (AI) that allows computers to effectively understand, interpret, and generate human language. The recent advances in machine learning, deep learning and transformer-based architectures have considerably improved the performance of NLP systems on a wide range of applications. This paper presents a comprehensive review of the evolution of NLP from traditional rule-based approaches to modern transformer models including BERT and GPT. It covers the major methodologies including text preprocessing, feature representation, machine learning, deep learning and transformer-based language modelling. Moreover, the study elaborates on the use of NLP in healthcare, education, business, finance, customer service, social media, and intelligent communication and highlights its role in enhancing automation, decision-making, and human–computer interaction. In addition, the paper discusses the major challenges faced by current NLP systems, including language ambiguity, multilingual processing, computational complexity, model bias, privacy, and explainability. Finally, future research directions, including lightweight language models, multilingual NLP, explainable AI, and multimodal intelligence, are presented. The findings demonstrate that NLP continues to transform intelligent systems and is expected to play an increasingly significant role in the development of next-generation AI technologies.

LMEnt: A Suite for Analyzing Knowledge in Language Models from Pretraining Data to Representations

Language models (LMs) increasingly drive real-world applications that require world knowledge. However, the internal processes through which models turn data into representations of knowledge and beliefs about the world are poorly understood. To facilitate such studies, we present LMEnt, a suite including (1) a knowledge-rich pretraining corpus, fully annotated with entity mentions based on Wikipedia, (2) an entity-based retrieval method over pretraining data that outperforms existing tools by as much as 80.4%, and (3) 12 pretrained LMs with up to 1B parameters and 4K intermediate checkpoints, with comparable performance to popular open-source models on knowledge tasks. Together, these resources provide a controlled environment for analyzing connections between entity mentions in pretraining data and downstream performance. We show the utility of LMEnt by studying knowledge acquisition over training, finding that entity co-occurrence and mention forms—which are difficult to study with existing tools—affect learning trends. Moreover, as LMs form stronger associations between entities, their facts are harder to edit in-context, whereas inconsistencies in model predictions over training are indicative of editing success. We release LMEnt to support studies of knowledge in LMs, including knowledge representations, plasticity, editing, attribution, hallucinations, and learning dynamics. huggingface.co/LMEnt github.com/LMEnt
