False friends are words that sound or are written the same in two different languages but have different meaning. Generally, it is argued that multilingual models, such as XLM-RoBERTA, can outperform monolingual models in most tasks on conventional datasets. However, false friends are not considered in these tests. In this paper, experiments with a false friends dataset show that multilingual models are not robust against false friends; they have problems creating monolingual representations and differentiating between meanings of similarly written words in different languages. An attempt of word-based finetuning multilingual models on false friends pairs is promising, however the results do not generally solve the presented problem and still, monolingual models are more robust against false friends." } """, n_samples={"test": 1524}, avg_character_length={"test": 40.3}, ) def dataset_transform(self): _dataset = {} for split in self.metadata.eval_splits: hf_dataset = self.dataset[split] _dataset[split] = [ { "sent1": hf_dataset["sent1"], "sent2": hf_dataset["sent2"], "labels": hf_dataset["labels"], } ] self.dataset = _dataset
