Data Laundering: Artificially Boosting Benchmark Results through Knowledge Distillation
Jonibek Mansurov, Akhmed Sakip, Alham Fikri Aji
In this paper, we show that knowledge distillation can be subverted to manipulate language model benchmark scores, revealing a critical vulnerability in current evaluation practice…
Efficient and Interpretable Grammatical Error Correction with Mixture of Experts
Muhammad Reza Qorib, Alham Fikri Aji, Hwee Tou Ng
Error type information has been widely used to improve the performance of grammatical error correction (GEC) models, whether for generating corrections, re-ranking them, or combini…
Thank You, Stingray: Multilingual Large Language Models Can Not (Yet) Disambiguate Cross-Lingual Word Sense
Samuel Cahyawijaya, Ruochen Zhang, Holy Lovenia +4
Multilingual large language models (LLMs) have gained prominence, but concerns arise regarding their reliability beyond English. This study addresses the gap in cross-lingual seman…

Genta Indra Winata, Frederikus Hudi, Patrick Amadeus Irawan +48
Vision Language Models (VLMs) often struggle with culture-specific knowledge, particularly in languages other than English and in underrepresented cultural contexts. To evaluate th…
Kalahi: A handcrafted, grassroots cultural LLM evaluation suite for Filipino
Jann Railey Montalan, Jian Gang Ngui, Wei Qi Leong +4
Multilingual large language models (LLMs) today may not necessarily provide culturally appropriate and relevant responses to its Filipino users. We introduce Kalahi, a cultural LLM…
LLM-DetectAIve: a Tool for Fine-Grained Machine-Generated Text Detection
Mervat Abassy, Kareem Elozeiri, Alexander Aziz +21
The ease of access to large language models (LLMs) has enabled a widespread of machine-generated texts, and now it is often hard to tell whether a piece of text was human-written o…
Cultural Conditioning or Placebo? On the Effectiveness of Socio-Demographic Prompting
Sagnik Mukherjee, Muhammad Farid Adilazuarda, Sunayana Sitaram +3
Socio-demographic prompting is a commonly employed approach to study cultural biases in LLMs as well as for aligning models to certain cultures. In this paper, we systematically pr…
IndoToxic2024: A Demographically-Enriched Dataset of Hate Speech and Toxicity Types for Indonesian Language
Lucky Susanto, Musa Izzanardi Wijanarko, Prasetia Anugrah Pratama +4
Hate speech poses a significant threat to social harmony. Over the past two years, Indonesia has seen a ten-fold increase in the online hate speech ratio, underscoring the urgent n…
The Privileged Students: On the Value of Initialization in Multilingual Knowledge Distillation
Haryo Akbarianto Wibowo, Thamar Solorio, Alham Fikri Aji
Knowledge distillation (KD) has proven to be a successful strategy to improve the performance of smaller models in many NLP tasks. However, most of the work in KD only explores mon…
SEACrowd: A Multilingual Multimodal Data Hub and Benchmark Suite for Southeast Asian Languages
Holy Lovenia, Rahmad Mahendra, Salsabil Maulana Akbar +58
Southeast Asia (SEA) is a region rich in linguistic diversity and cultural variety, with over 1,300 indigenous languages and a population of 671 million people. However, prevailing…
Lessons from the Trenches on Reproducible Evaluation of Language Models
Stella Biderman, Hailey Schoelkopf, Lintang Sutawika +27
Reliable evaluation of language models (LMs) remains an open challenge. Re- searchers and engineers face methodological issues such as the sensitivity of models to evaluation setup…
SemEval-2024 Task 8: Multidomain, Multimodel and Multilingual Machine-Generated Text Detection
Yuxia Wang, Jonibek Mansurov, Petar Ivanov +12
We present the results and the main findings of SemEval-2024 Task 8: Multigenerator, Multidomain, and Multilingual Machine-Generated Text Detection. The task featured three subtask…
SemEval-2024 Task 1: Semantic Textual Relatedness for African and Asian Languages
Nedjma Ousidhoum, Shamsuddeen Hassan Muhammad, Mohamed Abdalla +14
We present the first shared task on Semantic Textual Relatedness (STR). While earlier shared tasks primarily focused on semantic similarity, we instead investigate the broader phen…
From Multiple-Choice to Extractive QA: A Case Study for English and Arabic
Teresa Lynn, Malik H. Altakrori, Samar Mohamed Magdy +11
The rapid evolution of Natural Language Processing (NLP) has favoured major languages such as English, leaving a significant gap for many others due to limited resources. This is e…
Enabling Natural Zero-Shot Prompting on Encoder Models via Statement-Tuning
Ahmed Elshabrawy, Yongxin Huang, Iryna Gurevych +1
While Large Language Models (LLMs) exhibit remarkable capabilities in zero-shot and few-shot scenarios, they often require computationally prohibitive sizes. Conversely, smaller Ma…
