[1/]💡New Paper
Large reasoning models (LRMs) are strong in English — but how well do they reason in your language?
Our latest work uncovers their limitation and a clear trade-off:
Controlling Thinking Trace Language Comes at the Cost of Accuracy

✨ New Paper ✨
[1/] Retrieving passages from many languages can boost retrieval augmented generation (RAG) performance, but how good are LLMs at dealing with multilingual contexts in the prompt?

Modern LLMs "speak" hundreds of languages... but do they really?
Multilinguality claims are often based on downstream tasks like QA & MT, while *formal* linguistic competence remains hard to gauge in lots of languages...
Meet MultiBLiMP!

✨New paper ✨
Introducing 🌍MultiBLiMP 1.0: A Massively Multilingual Benchmark of Minimal Pairs for Subject-Verb Agreement, covering 101 languages!
We present over 125,000 minimal pairs and evaluate 17 LLMs, finding that support is still lacking for many languages.

Being at #EMNL2024 🌴? Come to visit our poster “Language is Scary when Over-Analyzed” (Jasmine 14:00-15:30)
We frame misogyny detection as an Argumentative Reasoning task using LLMs. Curious about the results? Come and talk to us @Aramona4
