תיאורים גאומטריים של שפות אפריקאיות: מרכז סמנטי רגיונלי והנחיה תרבותית

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2609.36205v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study how Gemma 4 31B represents African languages and responds to cultural steering. The first study compares nine African languages and three controls using probes, contrast directions, and measures of representation similarity. Transfer from English varies across languages and layers. Directions representing an Africa versus West contrast are more aligned among the African languages than between these languages and the controls at several layers. The comparison across language families passes the reported Holm threshold at five of twelve layers, although dependence between language pairs limits the statistical interpretation. Within Nigeria, Yoruba and Igbo are more aligned than the average of their pairs with Hausa at eleven of twelve
