XTREME-UP: A User-Centric Scarce-Data Benchmark for Under-Represented Languages
CoRR(2023)
摘要
Data scarcity is a crucial issue for the development of highly multilingual
NLP systems. Yet for many under-represented languages (ULs) – languages for
which NLP re-search is particularly far behind in meeting user needs – it is
feasible to annotate small amounts of data. Motivated by this, we propose
XTREME-UP, a benchmark defined by: its focus on the scarce-data scenario rather
than zero-shot; its focus on user-centric tasks – tasks with broad adoption by
speakers of high-resource languages; and its focus on under-represented
languages where this scarce-data scenario tends to be most realistic. XTREME-UP
evaluates the capabilities of language models across 88 under-represented
languages over 9 key user-centric technologies including ASR, OCR, MT, and
information access tasks that are of general utility. We create new datasets
for OCR, autocomplete, semantic parsing, and transliteration, and build on and
refine existing datasets for other tasks. XTREME-UP provides methodology for
evaluating many modeling scenarios including text-only, multi-modal (vision,
audio, and text),supervised parameter tuning, and in-context learning. We
evaluate commonly used models on the benchmark. We release all code and scripts
to train and evaluate models
