Thoughts on low‑resource multilingual research bottlenecks
Most cutting‑edge NLP models are built for high‑resource languages. Even with translation‑based approaches, subtle cultural and linguistic nuance gets lost. What promising directions do you see for advancing low‑resource language research without massive annotated corpora?
