LV-ROVER-MLT: Low-Resource Maltese OCR by Multi-Stream Voting

· 0 citations · 27 references

TL;DR

A synthetic training pipeline and a 5-stream Tesseract ensemble voted under a lexicon-anchored, ROVER-style scheme adapted for a low-resource setting, and results on a 422-paragraph benchmark against a fine-tuned-Tesseract baseline of character error rate (CER) are reported.

Embedding Initialization for Unseen Low-resource Languages in Multilingual NMT: A Case Study on Limbum-English Translation

The results show that multilingual transfer is the dominant factor in extremely low-resource Bantu translation while eliminating the need for heuristic proxy selection, and all systems fail to preserve tonal diacritics, highlighting an open challenge.

Speak Beyond English: Multilingual Prompts Improve Query Classification in Small Language Models

This paper tests whether prompting the same (frozen) SLM in three typologically diverse languages and aggregating the outputs can improve classification without retraining or translation, and suggests that cross-lingual diversity rather than surface-level input variation drives the gain.

Beyond Multilingual Averages: MTEB-PT, a Benchmark for Portuguese Sentence Encoders

MTEB-PT is presented, a Portuguese benchmark constructed from a subset of MMTEB, comprising 14 existing datasets across Semantic Textual Similarity (STS), classification, retrieval, and reranking, and shows that language-specific fine-tuning still improves model performance in Portuguese, especially on task types that...

Minimal-Supervision Part-of-Speech Tagging for Assamese Language: An Evidence-Gated Cascade with Classifier Backfill

This study evaluates the extent to which a length-stratified, minimally-supervised pipeline can recover tagging accuracy for the Assamese language using a labeled seed of only 3 to 5 sentences per distinct sentence length, compared to a weak-supervision classifier trained on a conventional 80% corpus split.
