Abstract
Models that can process human language in a variety of applications have been developed as a result of the quick development of natural language processing (NLP). Scaling NLP technologies to support multiple languages with minimal resources is still a major challenge, even though many models work well in high-resource languages. By developing models that can comprehend and produce text in multiple languages, especially those with little linguistic information, multilingual natural language processing (NLP) seeks to overcome this difficulty. This study examines the methods used in multilingual natural language processing (NLP), such as data augmentation, transfer learning, and multilingual pre-trained models. It also talks about the innovations and trade-offs involved in developing models that can effectively handle multiple languages with little effort.

Many low-resource languages have been underserved by the quick advances in natural language processing, which have mostly benefited high-resource languages. The methods for creating multilingual NLP models that can efficiently handle several languages with little resource usage are examined in this paper. We discuss unsupervised morphology-based approaches to expand vocabularies, the importance of community involvement in low-resource language technology, and the limitations of current multilingual models.

With the creation of strong language models capable of handling a variety of tasks, the field of natural language processing has advanced significantly in recent years. But not all languages have benefited equally from the advancements, with high-resource languages like English receiving disproportionate attention. [9] As a result, there are huge differences in the performance and accessibility of natural language processing (NLP) systems for the languages spoken around the world, many of which are regarded as low-resource.

Researchers have looked into a number of methods for developing multilingual natural language processing (NLP) models that can comprehend and produce text in multiple languages with little effort in order to rectify this imbalance. Using unsupervised morphology-based techniques to increase the vocabulary of low-resource languages is one promising strategy.
