SpokenNativQA: Multilingual Everyday Spoken Queries for LLMs

arXiv · May 25

The Qatar Computing Research Institute (QCRI) has released SpokenNativQA, a multilingual spoken question-answering dataset for evaluating LLMs in conversational settings. The dataset contains 33,000 naturally spoken questions and answers across multiple languages, including low-resource and dialect-rich languages. It aims to address the limitations of text-based QA datasets by incorporating speech variability, accents, and linguistic diversity. Why it matters: This benchmark enables more robust evaluation of LLMs in speech-based interactions, particularly for Arabic dialects and other low-resource languages.

NativQA: Multilingual Culturally-Aligned Natural Query for LLMs

arXiv · Jul 13

The paper introduces NativQA, a language-independent framework for constructing culturally and regionally aligned QA datasets in native languages. Using the framework, the authors created MultiNativQA, a multilingual natural QA dataset consisting of ~64k manually annotated QA pairs in seven languages. The dataset covers queries from native speakers from 9 regions covering 18 topics, and is designed for evaluating and tuning LLMs. Why it matters: The framework and dataset enable the creation of more culturally relevant and effective LLMs for diverse linguistic communities, including those in the Middle East.
