Shared multilingual vector space*
Jeff Johnson, Matthijs Douze, Hervé Jégou, Billion-scale similarity search with GPUs, arXiv, 2019
IndicCorp contains 1.3M (Assamese) to 100M (English) monolingual sentences for 11 Indic languages
FAISS Index* for efficient indexing, clustering, semantic matching, and retrieval of dense vectors (1000 sent./sec)
En
100M
Hi
64M
Brute force search (100M x 64M) is infeasible)
33M parallel sentences mined from the web (3X improvement)
Qualitative Analysis
10000 samples manually evaluated using 30+ annotators across 11 languages
Average rating of sentence pairs around 4.17 (min:3.83, max:4.82)
Quality depends on resource size (lowest for As, Or; highest for Hi, Bn)
LaBSE alignment scores is negatively correlated with sentence length
હું અહીં છું
I am here
हुं अहीं छुं

Highlights
Joint multilingual model for 11 Indic languages
3 models: En-X, X-En and X-X
Single script (enables transfer, reduces vocabulary)
6 encoder layers, 6 decoder layers, 16 heads/layer
wide models (ff_dim=4096, embedding_dim=1536)

Highlights
State of the art performance
Gains are higher for low resource languages
Deployed for translating Supreme Court judgements
“The quality of translations is significantly improved. I would say this is more so for the legal document where there were complicated sentences/cards which were translated very well. The syntax mostly did not falter even in the face of multiple ideas/information contained in one sentence.”
“The amount of time spent on correcting/improving the translation has dropped.”
“THIS IS VERY PROMISING. AMAZED BY THE SPEED.”
“I TOOK A PRINTOUT AND WENT THROUGH EVERY LINE. THE TRANSLATION IS 98% ACCURATE AND HIGHLY SATISFIED.”
