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.
