Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | idiom understanding and dialect understanding are well-established benchmarks in natural language processing . a language model trained in one of these dialects will have trouble making sense of the idiomatics from the other two . |
| Approach: | They propose to combine idiom understanding and dialect understanding to test regional idiomatics . they propose to use regional ids as benchmarks for other natural language processing languages . |
| Outcome: | The proposed benchmarks are based on idiomatic and dialect understanding datasets for french and francais . the results show prestige-language proficiency does not guarantee regional dialect understanding . |
