Multilingual GSM-Symbolic: What determines capability transfer across languages?

Kenneth Enevoldsen, Riley Herchert, Sofie Mosegaard +22

We understand little about how capabilities acquired in one language carry over to another, or what governs this transfer: evaluations rely on incomparable, saturation-prone datase…

SAGA: Score-Weighted Adaptive Generation Alignment for Low-Resource Nordic Language Models

Hoda Fakharzadehjahromy, Emil Wiman, Andreas Bueff +2

Language models for low-resource languages still make frequent grammatical errors. Alignment methods such as RLHF and DPO can correct them. However, they require human judgements,…

Curated retrieval versus open web search in public AI information services: a coverage-trust trade-off

Hafsteinn Einarsson, Hafsteinn Birgir Einarsson, Jón Gunnar Ólafsson +1

Public institutions increasingly use large language models (LLMs) to answer citizens' questions, often pairing a curated knowledge base with live web search, yet whether the source…

Global PIQA: Evaluating Commonsense Reasoning Across 100+ Languages and Cultures

Tyler A. Chang, Catherine Arnett, Abdelrahman Sadallah +377

To date, there exist almost no culturally-specific evaluation benchmarks for large language models (LLMs) that cover a large number of languages and cultures. In this paper, we pre…

MazeEval: A Benchmark for Testing Sequential Decision-Making in Language Models

Hafsteinn Einarsson

As Large Language Models (LLMs) increasingly power autonomous agents in robotics and embodied AI, understanding their spatial reasoning capabilities becomes crucial for ensuring re…

Cross-Lingual QA as a Stepping Stone for Monolingual Open QA in Icelandic

Vésteinn Snæbjarnarson, Hafsteinn Einarsson

It can be challenging to build effective open question answering (open QA) systems for languages other than English, mainly due to a lack of labeled data for training. We present a…

A Warm Start and a Clean Crawled Corpus -- A Recipe for Good Language Models

Vésteinn Snæbjarnarson, Haukur Barri Símonarson, Pétur Orri Ragnarsson +4

We train several language models for Icelandic, including IceBERT, that achieve state-of-the-art performance in a variety of downstream tasks, including part-of-speech tagging, nam…
