| 2023 | Task-Agnostic Low-Rank Adapters for Unseen English DialectsabstractLarge Language Models (LLMs) are trained on corpora disproportionally weighted in favor of Standard American English.As a result, speakers of other dialects experience significantly more failures when interacting with these technologies.In practice, these speakers often accommodate their speech to be better understood.Our work shares the belief that language technologies should be designed to accommodate the diversity in English dialects and not the other way around.However, prior works on dialect struggle with generalizing to evolving and emerging dialects in a scalable manner.To fill this gap, our method, Hyper-LoRA, leverages expert linguistic knowledge to enable resource-efficient adaptation via hypernetworks.By disentangling dialect-specific and cross-dialectal information, HyperLoRA improves generalization to unseen dialects in a task-agnostic fashion.Not only is HyperLoRA more scalable in the number of parameters, but it also achieves the best or most competitive performance across 5 dialects in a zero-shot setting.In this way, our approach facilitates access to language technology for billions of English dialect speakers who are traditionally underrepresented.
