rematchka at NADI 2023 shared task: Parameter Efficient tuning for Dialect Identification and Dialect Machine Translation

Reem Abdel-Salam


Abstract
Dialect identification systems play a significant role in various fields and applications as in speech and language technologies, facilitating language education, supporting sociolinguistic research, preserving linguistic diversity, enhancing text-to-speech systems. In this paper, we provide our findings and results in NADI 2023 shared task for country-level dialect identification and machine translation (MT) from dialect to MSA. The proposed models achieved an F1-score of 86.18 at the dialect identification task, securing second place in first subtask. Whereas for the machine translation task, the submitted model achieved a BLEU score of 11.37 securing fourth and third place in second and third subtask. The proposed model utilizes parameter efficient training methods which achieves better performance when compared to conventional fine-tuning during the experimentation phase.
