ViGLUE: A Vietnamese General Language Understanding Benchmark and Analysis of Vietnamese Language Models (2024.findings-naacl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing benchmarks for natural language understanding have been suggested, but there is a lack of such a benchmark in Vietnamese due to the difficulty in accessing datasets or the scarcity of task-specific datasets. |
| Approach: | They propose to use a benchmark to evaluate Vietnamese language models in a variety of tasks and areas to explore the relationship between specific tasks and the number of shots. |
| Outcome: | The proposed benchmark contains twelve tasks and encompasses over ten areas and subjects, enabling it to evaluate models comprehensively over a broad spectrum of aspects. |
A Parallel Corpus for Vietnamese Central-Northern Dialect Text Transfer (2023.findings-emnlp)

Quantifying the Dialect Gap and its Correlates Across Languages (2023.findings-emnlp)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Historically, studies investigating minority variants of languages have been limited to a select few languages. |
| Approach: | They evaluate state-of-the-art large language models for regional dialects of several high- and low-resource languages and analyze how regional dialect gap is correlated with economic, social, and linguistic factors. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model is compared with two high-use applications and shows that it can solve the regional dialect gap. |
