LEDGER: A Long-Context Benchmark of Corporate Annual Reports for Grounded Financial Retrieval and Extraction
Charles Moslonka, Amaury de Vitry, Arthur Garnier +2
Finance reporting is a natural proving ground for large language models, and the very-long-context capabilities of recent models across all sizes make rigorous evaluation in this d…
EuroBERT: Scaling Multilingual Encoders for European Languages
Nicolas Boizard, Hippolyte Gisserot-Boukhlef, Duarte M. Alves +16
General-purpose multilingual vector representations, used in retrieval, regression and classification, are traditionally obtained from bidirectional encoder models. Despite their w…
Should We Still Pretrain Encoders with Masked Language Modeling?
Hippolyte Gisserot-Boukhlef, Nicolas Boizard, Manuel Faysse +5
Learning high-quality text representations is fundamental to a wide range of NLP tasks. While encoder pretraining has traditionally relied on Masked Language Modeling (MLM), recent…
BERT-as-a-Judge: A Robust Alternative to Lexical Methods for Efficient Reference-Based LLM Evaluation
Hippolyte Gisserot-Boukhlef, Nicolas Boizard, Emmanuel Malherbe +2
Accurate evaluation is central to the large language model (LLM) ecosystem, guiding model selection and downstream adoption across diverse use cases. In practice, however, evaluati…
Is Preference Alignment Always the Best Option to Enhance LLM-Based Translation? An Empirical Analysis
Hippolyte Gisserot-Boukhlef, Ricardo Rei, Emmanuel Malherbe +3
Neural metrics for machine translation (MT) evaluation have become increasingly prominent due to their superior correlation with human judgments compared to traditional lexical met…
