On Bilingual Lexicon Induction with Large Language Models

arXiv:2310.13995v2 Announce Type: replace-cross
Abstract: Bilingual Lexicon Induction (BLI) is a core task in multilingual NLP that still, to a large extent, relies on calculating cross-lingual word representations. Inspired by the global paradigm shift in NLP towards Large Language Models (LLMs), we examine the potential of the latest generation of LLMs for the development of bilingual lexicons.
