Does the curse of multilinguality have to exist in theory? Embedding-space study
mdredze · x · 2026-09-25
Empirically, adding languages degrades model performance — the known 'curse of multilinguality.' This work asks whether the curse is theoretically inevitable, examining the structure of embedding spaces to understand when and why multilingual degradation must occur.
