Researching Language Loss and Revitalization
Abstract. Language loss refers to a societal or individual loss in the use or in the ability to use a language, implying that another language is replacing it. Revitalization, in turn, is commonly understood as giving new life and vigor to a language that has been decreasing in use and is today a rapidly growing field of study.

Language Revitalization
Summary. The world is home to an extraordinary level of linguistic diversity, with roughly 7,000 languages currently spoken and signed. Yet this diversity is highly unstable and is being rapidly eroded through a series of complex and interrelated processes that result in or lead to language loss. The combination of monolingualism and networks ...

Consequences and Remedies of Indigenous Language Loss in Canada
Many Indigenous languages in Canada are facing the threat of extinction. While some languages remain in good health, others have already been lost completely. Immediate action must be taken to prevent further language loss. Throughout Canada's unacceptable history of expunging First Nations' ways of life, systemic methods such as residential schools attempted to eradicate Indigenous ...

Research on Language Loss: A Review with Implications for Foreign
"LANGUAGE LOSS" REFERS TO LOSS OR ATTRITION of skill in one's native language (L1) or a second or foreign language (L2).1 The phenomenon can have both sociological and psychological forms. That is, language loss can be exhibited by a whole cultural or linguistic group or by an individual; it can be analyzed in terms of rate, sequence, linguistic components, or skill types. This article reviews ...
Language and ethnobiological skills decline precipitously in Papua New
When evaluated against a common set of extinction-risk criteria, the world's ∼7,000 extant languages are even more threatened than its biological diversity ().Orally transmitted cultural knowledge may be threatened by similar forces (3, 4).Language population sizes approximate a log-normal distribution (), such that the majority of languages have relatively few speakers ().

During the past century, humans have caused biodiversity loss at rates that are 30 to 120 times higher than the mean extinction rates in the Cenozoic fossil record ().Although multiple proximate causes drive this loss, ultimately, a growing human population and economy have demanded increasing land and natural resources, causing habitat conversion and loss ().
Better & Faster Large Language Models via Multi-token Prediction
Large language models such as GPT and Llama are trained with a next-token prediction loss. In this work, we suggest that training language models to predict multiple future tokens at once results in higher sample efficiency. More specifically, at each position in the training corpus, we ask the model to predict the following n tokens using n independent output heads, operating on top of a ...

On the test-time zero-shot generalization of vision-language models: Do
The development of large vision-language models, notably CLIP, has catalyzed research into effective adaptation techniques, with a particular focus on soft prompt tuning. Conjointly, test-time augmentation, which utilizes multiple augmented views of a single image to enhance zero-shot generalization, is emerging as a significant area of interest. This has predominantly directed research ...
