RAÍZ: A Hybrid Transformer-Based Machine Translation Architecture with Linguistic Preprocessing and Community Validation for Low-Resource Indigenous Languages (Spanish – Nahuatl and Spanish – Mazahua)

RAÍZ: A Hybrid Architecture Based on Linguistic Knowledge and Deep Learning for the Machine Translation of Low-Resource Indigenous Languages

Indigenous languages continue to experience significant technological marginalisation due to limited digital corpora, orthographic inconsistency, dialectal variation, morphological complexity, and insufficient representation in contemporary natural language processing systems. This study introduces RAÍZ, a hybrid machi...

Efficient Adaptation of English Language Models for Morphologically Rich and Underrepresented Languages: The Case of Arabic

A resource-efficient adaptation of the English-pretrained ModernBERT for Arabic, employing continued pretraining on large Arabic corpora followed by lightweight head-only fine-tuning with a frozen encoder, demonstrating that modern English encoder architectures can be efficiently transferred to Arabic through language-...

A Hybrid Framework for Bidirectional Translation Between Mexican Sign Language Glosses and Spanish

COILD: An Indic-Centric Parallel Corpus and Benchmark for Machine Translation Across Indian Languages

COILD, an Indic-centric parallel corpus comprising over 1.16 million human-translated and human-verified sentence pairs, covers 20 Indian language pairs across the Indo-Aryan, Dravidian, Tibeto-Burman, and Austro-Asiatic language families, and provides a valuable training and evaluation resource for advancing multiling...

Construction of Chinese-Japanese-English Translation Database Based on Cross-Lingual Transformer-Based Models

The proposed framework provides an efficient solution for multilingual engineering knowledge organization, technical document retrieval, and intelligent information processing, offering valuable support for cross-language electromagnetic engineering documentation, antenna technology resources, and multilingual communic...

A Data-Efficient Multilingual Neural Machine Translation Model for Low-Resource Indic Languages

The effectiveness of multilingual transfer learning in low-resource settings is demonstrated by the fine-tuned Multilingual Bidirectional and Auto-Regressive Transformer-50 model, significantly outperforming the pretrained baseline.
