Advancing Cantonese NLP: Bridging Development Gaps in Large Language Models with New Benchmarks and Open-Source Innovations
Introduction
Large language models (LLMs) have transformed natural language processing (NLP) for English and other data-rich languages. However, underrepresented languages like Cantonese face significant development gaps in NLP research, hindering the advancement of language technologies for this widely spoken language.
Challenges in Cantonese NLP
The development of Cantonese-specific LLMs faces challenges due to limited research and resources, leading to a lack of comprehensive solutions and evaluation tools for Cantonese NLP.
New Evaluation Tools for Cantonese LLMs
Researchers have developed a comprehensive set of benchmarks specifically designed for Cantonese LLMs, focusing on factual generation, mathematical logic, complex reasoning, general knowledge, and translation capabilities.
Advancements in Cantonese NLP
Recent advances in Cantonese LLMs show promise, with notable applications in dialogue, sentiment analysis, and practical implementation for emotional support.
Performance Analysis and Recommendations
The study analyzed mainstream LLMs and identified key challenges in Cantonese NLP, highlighting the need for more Cantonese-focused development. Specific model recommendations were provided based on benchmark performances.
Opportunities for Advancement
Opportunities for advancing Cantonese NLP include data augmentation techniques and specialized model development to handle colloquialisms and code-switching.
