LLM-Powered Automatic Translation and Urgency in Crisis Scenarios
Quick summary
arXiv:2602.13452v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly proposed for crisis preparedness and response, particularly for multilingual communication. However, their suitability for high-stakes crisis contexts remains insufficiently evaluated. This work examines the performance of state-of-the-art LLMs and machine translation systems in crisis-domain translation, with a focus on preserving urgency, a critical property for effective crisis communication and triage. Using multilingual crisis data (TICO-19, 30 languages) and a newly introduced urgency-
