[P] Added 8 Indian languages to Chatterbox TTS via LoRA — 1.4% of parameters, no phoneme engineering [P]

A project successfully added eight Indian languages (Telugu, Kannada, Bengali, Tamil, Malayalam, Marathi, Gujarati, and Hindi) to the Chatterbox-Multilingual TTS model using LoRA adapters and tokenizer extension. This approach trained only 1.4% of the model's parameters, avoiding the complex phoneme engineering typically required for each language.

A Multi-Model Approach to English-Bangla Sentiment Classification of Government Mobile Banking App Reviews

This study classifies sentiment in English and Bangla reviews of Bangladeshi government mobile banking apps, using a hybrid labeling approach for 5,652 reviews. It found that traditional machine learning models like Random Forest and Linear SVM significantly outperformed fine-tuned XLM-RoBERTa for this specific task.

Toward Generalized Cross-Lingual Hateful Language Detection with Web-Scale Data and Ensemble LLM Annotations

This research explores improving cross-lingual hate speech detection by leveraging large-scale unlabelled web data and LLM-based synthetic annotations. It shows that continued pre-training of BERT models on web data and fine-tuning with synthetic labels generated by an ensemble of LLMs significantly boosts performance, especially in low-resource settings.

The Aunty Test - what Malayalam-speaking patients see when they ask Health AI in their own language

This content highlights the failure of English-first Health AI to accurately understand and respond to medical queries in non-English languages like Malayalam. It introduces GoDavaii as an AI capable of reasoning natively in 22 Indian languages, addressing a critical gap in healthcare accessibility for a billion non-English speakers.

The Aunty Test - what Marathi-speaking patients see when they ask Health AI in their own language

This article highlights how most English-first Health AI systems fail to understand and respond accurately to medical queries in local languages like Marathi. It emphasizes the need for AI that reasons natively in multiple languages, rather than relying on translation layers or thin localized veneers, to provide effective healthcare guidance.

Cross-Lingual Response Consistency in Large Language Models: An ILR-Informed Evaluation of Claude Across Six Languages

This paper introduces an ILR-informed framework to evaluate Claude (Sonnet 4.6) for cross-lingual response consistency across six languages. It analyzes responses to semantically equivalent prompts using quantitative metrics and expert ILR qualitative assessment, revealing language-specific variations like response length differences and surface divergence in creative clusters.

Mitigating Cross-Lingual Cultural Inconsistencies in LLMs via Consensus-Driven Preference Optimisation

Multilingual large language models (MLLMs) often exhibit inconsistent behavior regarding cultural identity when the prompt's language changes. Researchers introduce a new metric, Singleton Fleiss's "k_S", and a consensus-driven alignment framework, C-3PO, to mitigate these cross-lingual cultural inconsistencies, achieving significant improvements.
