How Much Do Language Models Know About Local Culture? We introduce BertaQA, a multiple-choice trivia dataset parallel in English and Basque. It consists of a local subset about the Basque culture, and a global subset with questions of broader interest. arxiv.org/abs/2406.07302
We present BiVLC, a Bidirectional Vision-Language Compositionality dataset, which allows evaluating image-to-text and text-to-image retrieval simultaneously. Adding text-to-image retrieval substantially changes the conclusions of previous work. arxiv.org/abs/2406.09952
Do multilingual language models think better in English? 🤔 Yes, they do! We show that using an LLM to translate its input into English and performing the task over the translated input works better than using the original non-English input! 😯 arxiv.org/abs/2308.01223
