| Challenge: | despite advances in NLP, significant disparities in performance across languages still exist . prior benchmarks focused on a limited number of tasks and languages, but now GlobalBench tracks progress on all languages. |
| Approach: | They propose to use global benchmarks to track progress on all NLP datasets in all languages. |
| Outcome: | a new tool tracks progress on all NLP datasets in all languages and tracks per-speaker utility and equity . globalbench is designed to identify the most under-served languages and reward research efforts . a globalbech is available at https://github.com/neulab/globalbench. |
