Language Models for Portuguese: A Systematic Mapping Study
Quick summary
arXiv:2608.18138v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In recent years, the rapid development of language models has transformed the field of Natural Language Processing through a wide range of applications. However, the development of language models has not progressed uniformly across all languages. In the case of the Portuguese language, there has recently been a growing effort by academia and companies to develop language models and create data resources for Portuguese. These efforts have resulted in the rise of an increasingly diverse ecosystem of language models for Portuguese. However, infor
