hello from the inaugural cohort of @OpenAI safety fellows!
we're excited to be spending the next few months thinking carefully about and making progress on core issues in ai alignment, control, & interpretability, with the support of great mentors + the community at @ConstellOrg
π€ Can #LLMs answer non-English long-form questions:
- in low-resource languages (e.g. Fijian, Kirundi) π?
- about cultural topics πͺ¬πͺπ?
β LLMs perform poorly on π§ββοΈCaLMQA: a long-form cultural QA dataset with 2.6K questions spanning 23 languages.
We do a human π€ eval of 3 models π€. Unlike GPT-4 Turbo, we find that Claude 3 Opus performs worse π on culturally specific questions relative to a culturally agnostic baseline. All 3 models perform sub-optimally on tested low-resource languages, with Mixtral 8x22B the worst.
