Fine-Grained Language Relatedness for Zero-Shot Silesian-English Translation
Original language description
When parallel corpora are not available to train or fine-tune Machine Translation (MT) systems, one solution is to use data from a related language, and operate in a zero-shot setting. We explore the behaviour and performance of two pre-trained Large Language Models (LLMs) for zero-shot Silesian-English translation, by fine-tuning them on increasingly related languages. Our experiment shows that using data from related languages generally improves the zero-shot translation performance for our language pair, but the optimal fine-grained choice inside the Slavic language family is non-trivial and depends on the model characteristics.
