RESEARCH
Paper of the Day
How does Alignment Enhance LLMs' Multilingual Capabilities? A Language Neurons Perspective (2025-05-27)
Authors: Shimao Zhang, Zhejian Lai, Xiang Liu, Shuaijie She, Xiao Liu, Yeyun Gong, Shujian Huang, Jiajun Chen
Institutions: Various (Including academic institutions in China)
Why It Matters: This paper offers the first neuron-level explanation of how alignment techniques actually enhance LLMs' multilingual capabilities, providing a deeper understanding of cross-lingual transfer mechanisms than previously available.
The researchers identify and analyze language-specific neurons in LLMs, demonstrating how multilingual alignment modifies these neurons to transfer capabilities from high-resource languages to low-resource ones. Their findings reveal that alignment causes low-resource languages to share more activated neurons with English while reducing language-specific neuron activations. This insight could lead to more efficient multilingual training strategies and better cross-lingual transfer techniques for future LLM development.
