Abstract

Ad oggi, esistono quasi zero benchmark di valutazione culturalmente specifici per i grandi modelli linguistici (LLM) che coprano un ampio numero di lingue e culture. In questo articolo, presentiamo Global PIQA, un benchmark partecipativo di ragionamento basato sul senso comune per oltre 100 lingue, costruito manualmente da 335 ricercatori di 65 paesi in tutto il mondo. Le 116 varietà linguistiche incluse in Global PIQA coprono cinque continenti, 14 famiglie linguistiche e 23 sistemi di scrittura. Nella partizione non parallela di Global PIQA, oltre il 50% degli esempi fa riferimento a cibi locali, usanze, tradizioni o altri elementi culturalmente specifici. Rileviamo che gli LLM allo stato dell'arte performano bene su Global PIQA in aggregato, ma mostrano prestazioni più deboli per le lingue a risorse limitate (con un divario di accuratezza fino al 37%, nonostante la scelta casuale sia al 50%). I modelli open source generalmente ottengono risultati peggiori rispetto ai modelli proprietari. Global PIQA evidenzia come, in molte lingue e culture, la conoscenza quotidiana rimanga un'area da migliorare, accanto a capacità più ampiamente discusse come il ragionamento complesso e la conoscenza specialistica. Oltre al suo utilizzo per la valutazione degli LLM, speriamo che Global PIQA offra uno spaccato della vasta diversità di culture in cui il linguaggio umano è radicato.

To date, there exist almost no culturally-specific evaluation benchmarks for large language models (LLMs) that cover a large number of languages and cultures. In this paper, we present Global PIQA, a participatory commonsense reasoning benchmark for over 100 languages, constructed by hand by 335 researchers from 65 countries around the world. The 116 language varieties in Global PIQA cover five continents, 14 language families, and 23 writing systems. In the non-parallel split of Global PIQA, over 50% of examples reference local foods, customs, traditions, or other culturally-specific elements. We find that state-of-the-art LLMs perform well on Global PIQA in aggregate, but they exhibit weaker performance in lower-resource languages (up to a 37% accuracy gap, despite random chance at 50%). Open models generally perform worse than proprietary models. Global PIQA highlights that in many languages and cultures, everyday knowledge remains an area for improvement, alongside more widely-discussed capabilities such as complex reasoning and expert knowledge. Beyond its uses for LLM evaluation, we hope that Global PIQA provides a glimpse into the wide diversity of cultures in which human language is embedded.
