The proposed paper introduces a novel SVD-based dimension refinement component into the clustering-based topic model pipeline, aiming to improve cross-lingual topic identification. The existing pipeline performs well in monolingual topic identification but struggles with language-dependent dimensions (LDDs) generated by multilingual language models. By refining these LDDs, the updated pipeline can accurately identify topics across languages. Experiments on three datasets show that this approach outperforms other state-of-the-art cross-lingual topic models.

The paper improves how computers understand and group ideas from different languages. It makes a special component to help with this, called SVD-based dimension refinement. This helps remove language-specific problems that make it hard for the computer to identify topics correctly. The new approach works better than other methods on three datasets, showing its effectiveness.
