Résumé	Multilingual topic modeling extends probabilistic topic models such as LDA to corpora spanning two or more languages, inferring shared latent topics across language boundaries. By tying topic distributions across languages, it enables cross-lingual document analysis, comparable topic discovery, and information retrieval without requiring full parallel corpora.	A multilingual transformer is a pre-trained language model built on the transformer architecture and trained jointly on text from dozens to over one hundred languages. Models such as mBERT and XLM-RoBERTa learn shared cross-lingual representations, enabling zero-shot or few-shot transfer: a model fine-tuned on English data can often be applied directly to French, German, Arabic, or Chinese without language-specific labels.
