摘要

With over 7,000 languages spoken worldwide and the exponential growth of multilingual digital content, automatically processing multilingual documents has become a crucial challenge. This article presents a comparative study of the state of the art of multilingual text processing systems, describing their architecture, methodology, performance and then their limitations. We systematically valuate large transformer-based models like mBERT, XLM-RoBERTa, mT5, EuroBERT, and KaLM-Embedding sophisticated transformer architectures and conventional Unicode-based segmentation approaches. Results show that mT5 achieves 99.61% accuracy on complex classification tasks, XLM-RoBERTa outperforms in cross-language transfer (+14.6% on XNLI) and low-resource languages ​​(+15.7% in Swahili), EuroBERT leads in long context processing (8,192 tokens), and KaLM-Embedding maximizes efficiency in resource-constrained environments.
