• Abstract: We present BenCzechMark (BCM), the first comprehensive Czech language benchmark designed for large language models, offering diverse tasks, multiple task formats, and multiple evaluation metrics. Its duel scoring system is grounded in statistical significance theory and uses aggregation across tasks inspired by social preference theory. Our benchmark encompasses 50 challenging tasks, with corresponding test datasets, primarily in native Czech, with 14 newly collected ones. These tasks span 8 categories and cover diverse domains, including historical Czech news, essays from pupils or language learners, and spoken word. Furthermore, we collect and clean BUT-Large Czech Collection, the largest publicly available clean Czech language corpus, and use it for (i) contamination analysis and (ii) continuous pretraining of the first Czech-centric 7B language model with Czech-specific tokenization. We use our model as a baseline for comparison with publicly available multilingual models. Lastly, we release and maintain a leaderboard with existing 50 model submissions, where new model submissions can be made at https://huggingface.co/spaces/CZLC/BenCzechMark.

  We propose the first benchmark of sentence embeddings for French. We compare 51 carefully selected embedding models on a large scale. We find that even if no model is the best on all tasks, large multilingual models pre-trained on sentence similarity perform exceptionally well.

We show that language-specific pre-trained encoder analysis outperforms selected commercially available large-scale generative language models.

  We introduce BUFFET, which unifies 15 diverse tasks across 54 languages in a sequence-to-sequence format. BUFFET is designed to establish a rigorous and equitable evaluation framework for few-shot cross-lingual transfer. Our findings reveal significant room for improvement in few-shot in-context cross-lingual transfer.

We fine-tune five pre-trained BERT-like models to set a monolingual baseline for the new dataset and we achieve 93.56% of accuracy.

  This work focuses on Catalan with the aim of exploring what extent a medium-sized monolingual language model is competitive with state-of-the-art large multilingual models. We build a clean, high-quality textual Catalan corpus (CaText), train a Transformer-based language model for Catalan (BERTa), and devise a thorough evaluation in a diversity of settings. The result is a new benchmark, the Catalan Language Understanding Benchmark (CLUB), which we publish as an open resource.
