GlotLID: Language Identification for Low-Resource Languages
Written for the Research library (claude-opus-5-5) from the paper text. Original — aclanthology.org/2023.findings-emnlp.410.pdf
Summary
Language identification (LID) tools that work well exist for roughly 300 high- and medium-resource languages. No open, reliable and efficient tool covered the long tail of low-resource languages, and this weakens web-mined corpora that rely on LID for filtering. The authors built GlotLID-C, a training corpus drawn mostly from sources with trustworthy labels rather than web crawls, namely news outlets, Wikipedia, storybook collections, religious writings and translations produced collaboratively. They checked scripts with GlotScript and removed duplicates. On this corpus they trained GlotLID-M, a FastText classifier. The model is fast and open-source and gives confidence scores for threshold-based filtering. It can also sum the probabilities of varieties into their macrolanguage. Across 1665 evaluated languages, GlotLID-M beats CLD3, FT176, OpenLID and NLLB on UDHR when F1 and false positive rate are weighed together. It is also competitive on FLORES-200. The paper discusses specific problems of low-resource LID: wrong metadata, leakage from dominant related languages, and evaluation on unrealistic uniform test sets. The work matters because better LID means cleaner corpora for underrepresented languages.
Key points
- GlotLID-C contains about 289M sentences (40GB) in 1832 ISO 639-3 languages, and 1677 of them have over 1000 sentences. GlotLID-M is evaluated on 1665 languages, but it always classifies over all 1832 to reduce out-of-model cousin errors.
- On UDHR, GlotLID-M beats the baselines by more than 12 points of absolute F1. English F1 on UDHR rises to .85, compared with .43 for OpenLID.
- Contamination check: GlotLID-C shares 374 languages with UDHR, and 292 of them have no test sentences in the training data. Overlaps above 10% occur only for high- and medium-resource languages, mainly through Wikipedia and Tatoeba.
- A skewed, realistic test distribution can damage low-resource corpora. For example, leakage from Tibetan drops the cleanness of Dzongkha from .91 to .09. The authors therefore recommend evaluating on both uniform and skewed test sets.
- The released resources are the model, the code and the list of data sources (github.com/cisnlp/GlotLID), plus a cleaned UDHR LID test set (huggingface: cis-lmu/udhr-lid).
