Understand

This paper provides a comprehensive survey of the latest research on multilingual large language models (MLLMs).

  • MLLMs not only are able to understand and generate language across linguistic boundaries, but also represent an important advancement in artificial intelligence.
  • We first discuss the architecture and pre-training objectives of MLLMs, highlighting the key components and methodologies that contribute to their multilingual capabilities.
  • We then discuss the construction of multilingual pre-training and alignment datasets, underscoring the importance of data quality and diversity in enhancing MLLM performance.
