Cross-lingual euphemism detection inference efficiency in XLM-R-Large with sequential vs. simultaneous fine-tuning

Euphemisms are culturally variable and often ambiguous, posing challenges for language models, especially in low-resource settings. This paper investigates how cross-lingual transfer via sequential fine-tuning affects euphemism detection across five languages: English, Spanish, Chinese, Turkish, and Yoruba. We compare sequential fine-tuning with monolingual and simultaneous fine-tuning using XLM-R and mBERT, analyzing how performance is shaped by language pairings, typological features, and pretraining coverage. Results show that sequential fine-tuning with a high-resource L1 improves L2 perfo

Research goal: How does the inference efficiency of XLM-R-Large change when sequentially fine-tuned for cross-lingual euphemism detection across languages, as measured by latency and throughput, compared to simultaneous fine-tuning?
