• Abstract: Current evaluation benchmarks for question answering (QA) in Indic languages often rely on machine translation of existing English datasets. This approach suffers from bias and inaccuracies inherent in machine translation, leading to datasets that may not reflect the true capabilities of EQA models for Indic languages. This paper proposes a new benchmark specifically designed for evaluating Hindi EQA models and discusses the methodology to do the same for any task. This method leverages large language models (LLMs) to generate a high-quality dataset in an extractive setting, ensuring its relevance for the target language. We believe this new resource will foster advancements in Hindi NLP research by providing a more accurate and reliable evaluation tool.

  Segment-level quality estimation (QE) is a challenging cross-lingual language understanding task. We comprehensively evaluate large language models (LLMs) in zero/few-shot scenarios. Our results indicate that prompt-based approaches are outperformed by the encoder-based fine-tuned QE models.

  Indic-QA is the largest publicly available context-grounded question-answering dataset for 11 major Indian languages from two language families. We generate a synthetic dataset using the Gemini model to create question-answer pairs given a passage, which is then manually verified for quality assurance. We evaluate various multilingual Large Language Models and their instruction-fine-tuned variants on the benchmark and observe that their performance is subpar, particularly for low-resource languages.

  This paper introduces machine-translated versions of FairytaleQA, a renowned QA dataset designed to assess and enhance narrative comprehension skills in young children. We employ fine-tuned, modest-scale models to establish benchmarks for both Question Generation (QG) and QA tasks within the translated datasets. We present a case study proposing a model for generating question-answer pairs, with an evaluation incorporating quality metrics such as question well-formedness, answerability, relevance, and children suitability.

  State-of-the-art natural language processing (NLP) models are trained on massive training corpora, and report a superlative performance on evaluation datasets. This survey delves into an important attribute of these datasets: the dialect of a language. Motivated by the performance degradation of NLP models for dialectal datasets and its implications for the equity of language technologies, we survey past research in NLP for dialects in terms of datasets, and approaches.

  PAXQA (Projecting annotations for cross-lingual (x) QA) decomposes cross-lingual QA into two stages. We propose a novel use of lexically-constrained machine translation, in which constrained entities are extracted from the parallel bitexts. We show that models fine-tuned on these datasets outperform prior synthetic data generation models over several extractive QA datasets.
