Building a European Multilingual Evaluation Dataset: The MMLU Localisation Project within the EMT Network
Quick Answer
This paper shows that The MMLU Localisation Project, a collaboration between the DGT and EMT, aims to translate the MMLU dataset into 11 European languages, enhancing LLM evaluation benchmarks while providing master's students with practical training in translation and project management.
Key Points
- Project localizes dataset into 11 European languages for better evaluation.
- Offers master's students hands-on training in translation and project management.
- Highlights challenges in methodology, administration, and workflow during localization.
- Collaboration involves the Directorate-General for Translation and EMT network.
- Results will be presented at the 2026 International Conference on Translation Technology.
