BEAR-Bench is a bilingual benchmark for multimodal large language models, featuring 1,000 human‑annotated questions derived from text‑rich business and scientific documents in English and Russian. It evaluates 16 MLLMs, including Gemini 3.1 Pro and Qwen3.5‑397B, revealing significant performance gaps even for the strongest systems. The benchmark also serves to compare hallucination‑detection methods by analyzing model failures on these complex documents.

The paper presents a pipeline that leverages large language models to extract grammatical rules, example sentences, and lexicons from descriptive grammar books, producing synthetic parallel corpora for fine‑tuning machine translation models. Evaluated on three low‑resource languages—Kalamang, Tuatschin, and Mandan—the synthetic data improves translation quality over seed‑data baselines in 75% of configurations for Kalamang and 59% for Tuatschin, achieving up to +8.8 ChrF++ gains. A factorial study across 96 configurations identifies which combinations of target part‑of‑speech, retrieval granularity, and sample volume drive performance gains and where they fail, demonstrating that static linguistic documentation can be repurposed for practical translation tools for severely under‑resourced languages.
