The paper introduces KBS, a Korean Benchmark Suite that includes six datasets—Ko-ARC, Ko-GSM8K, Ko-EQ-Bench, Ko-WinoGrande, Ko-LAMBADA, and Ko-IFEval—covering nine capabilities across 9,396 items. It emphasizes a non‑translation approach by reviewing, localizing, and redesigning tasks for Korean, and evaluates Korean‑developed, multilingual open, and closed API models under protocols that consider model access, prompt format, and scoring differences. The results highlight that Korean benchmark scores are influenced by task construction, scoring rules, prompting, and post‑training, suggesting that evaluations should report both final scores and the settings used.
WorldBench is a new multilingual benchmark that tests large language model agents on culturally grounded everyday workflows, offering 1,600 tasks in seven languages and eight cultures. The benchmark evaluates agents through structured sandbox actions and introduces Constrained Task Success (CTS), a metric that assesses task completion, minimal modification, and other complementary aspects via deterministic and LLM-as-a-Judge evaluations. Experiments show that even leading models achieve only 49.2% CTS, revealing significant gaps in correctness and state preservation across languages and cultures.
Despite the growing use of LLM-powered agents to solve multi-step tasks in complex environments, existing benchmarks rarely test state preservation, performance across languages, and application to re...
Large Language Models (LLMs) are being tested as a cost‑effective alternative to human judgment for evaluating machine translation (MT). This study compares LLM agreement with human annotators on two MT quality schemes—Multidimensional Quality Metrics (MQM) and Error Span Annotation (ESA)—across 70 language pairs and public WMT23/25 data. Results show that while LLMs sometimes match or exceed human agreement, performance varies widely by scheme, language, and domain, and remains unreliable in many settings. The work also identifies specific challenges for both humans (e.g., fine‑grained MQM, low‑resource languages) and LLMs (e.g., minor errors, wrong language variants, span annotation).
