Description

Pre-trained multilingual language models show significant performance gains for zero-shot cross-lingual model transfer on a wide range of natural language understanding (NLU) tasks. Previously, for zero-shot cross-lingual evaluation, pre-trained models are only fine-tuned on English data and tested on a variety of target languages. In this paper, we do cross-lingual evaluation on various NLU tasks (sentence classification, sequence labeling, question answering) using prompt-tuning and compare it with fine-tuning. The results show that prompt tuning achieves much better cross-lingual transfer t

Research goal: How does the zero-shot cross-lingual performance of Llama 2 compare to GPT-4 and Gemini on XTREME-R tasks when fine-tuned on English-only vs. multilingual intermediate tasks, measured by mXGLUE accuracy?
