Can a Remedy Find a Researcher? Exploring Sensitivity to Semantic Violations in Italian BabyLMs

· 0 citations · 47 references

TL;DR

This study explores the semantic competence of Italian BabyLMs, focusing on their sensitivity to semantic violations, using a minimal pair benchmark targeting semantic violations to evaluate the semantic abilities of BAMBI, a family of small-scale models trained on progressively larger and more complex datasets.

Large Language Models for Japanese–Croatian Translation: Human Evaluation and Macroeconomic Implications

Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly used for translation, yet their value depends on preserving meaning rather than producing fluent output. This study evaluates seven LLMs on Japanese–Croatian translation, a low-resource, typologically distant language pair. Using rubric-based human evaluation of adequacy, f...

Challenges in annotations by humans and LLMs: A case study of evaluative language

In this paper, we draw a comparison between linguists in training, a trained linguist, and annotations generated by large language models (LLMs) to find out if they struggle with complex linguistic phenomena in a similar way. For this purpose, we analyse evaluative language in spoken popular science discourse, with the...

Apples to Apples? Towards Comparable Crosslingual Language Model Evaluation

The results show that several widely used normalized metrics introduce crosslinguistic biases rooted in tokenization, encoding, and orthographic differences, and sentence-level negative log-likelihood computed over semantically equivalent sequences provides more meaningful and consistent crosslingual comparisons.

MORFES: A Benchmark for Productive Inflectional Competence in Modern Greek

MORFES (Morphological Open-class Recognition-and-Formation Evaluation Suite), a benchmark of 500 expert-verified items that tests the recognition and production of Greek inflected forms, favoring lower-frequency lemmas so that a correct answer reflects the rule rather than a memorized form.

Evaluation of End-to-End RAG Performance in Turkish Legal Texts

Abstract-Recently, large language models (LLMs) have enabled significant advances across a wide range of domains. However, the training, adaptation, and evaluation of LLMs with a large number of parameters incur substantial computational and financial costs. This limits the ability of researchers with constrained resou...

Reversing Arrows in Large Language Models

This work presents the first systematic study of inverse relation directionality in LLMs, using a benchmark consisting of 5,457 instances spanning 27 distinct inverse relation labels and reveals systematic asymmetries in inverse relation classification across LLMs.
