Abstract
This paper describes the BSC’s submission to the AmericasNLP 2024 Shared Task. We participated in the Spanish to Quechua and Spanish to Guarani tasks. In this paper we show that by using LoRA adapters we can achieve similar performance as a full parameter fine-tuning by only training 14.2% of the total number of parameters. Our systems achieved the highest ChrF++ scores and ranked first for both directions in the final results outperforming strong baseline systems in the provided development and test datasets.
