Cross-Lingual Transfer and Parameter-Efficient Adaptation in the Turkic Language Family: A Theoretical Framework for Low-Resource Language Models
arXiv:2604.06202v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) have transformed natural language processing, yet their capabilities remain uneven across languages. Most multilingual models are trained primarily on high-resource languages, leaving many languages with large speaker populations underrepresented in both training data and evaluation benchmarks. This imbalance is particularly visible in the Turkic language family. This paper proposes a theoretical framework for studying cross-lingual transfer and parameter-efficient adaptation of multilingual LLMs within the Turkic language family, focusing on […]
