Challenge: Existing long context models suffer from performance decline when the input text exceeds their length limit.
Approach: They propose a multi-task long context benchmark to evaluate LLMs' long context ability using 10 datasets from 5 different NLP tasks.
Outcome: The proposed model covers 5 domains and core capacities of large language models.
