Introducing Global PIQA, a new multilingual benchmark for 100+ languages. This benchmark is the outcome of this year’s MRL shared task, in collaboration with 300+ researchers from 65 countries. This dataset evaluates physical commonsense reasoning in culturally relevant contexts.
Tomorrow, I'll be presenting (virtually) our research from @orainlp.bsky.social on pre-training SLMs for low-resource languages as a poster during the @mrl-workshop.bsky.social. Come check it out! 📝 aclanthology.org/2025.mrl-mai...
