1. Efficient Language Model Training through Cross-Lingual and Progressive Transfer Learning (2023 · 36 citations)
   Large Transformer language models are mostly pretrained on English. Training equally large models for other languages from scratch requires data and compute that are often unavailable. Ostendorff and Rehm propose CLP-Transfer, which transfers both across languages and across model sizes. To build a large…
2. CommonLID: Re-evaluating State-of-the-Art Language Identification Performance on Web Data (2026 · 3 citations)
   Language identification (LID) is often treated as a solved task. In practice, it remains unreliable for many languages on noisy, mixed web text, which is the main source of multilingual pre-training corpora. Most existing benchmarks, such as FLORES, UDHR and Bible data, are clean, translated or religious, so they…
