arXiv:2608. 09766v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multilingual translation benchmarks are typically sourced in English and translated into other languages, treating language pairs as the unit of evaluation---a design that is prone to contamination over time and overlooks locale and cultural considerations.

arXiv:2608. 08283v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Although large language models can translate some historical languages surprisingly well, their usefulness in digital humanities workflows is limited by the lack of reliable evaluation.

arXiv:2607. 20241v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Culturally loaded translation poses unique challenges for machine translation (MT), as meanings are deeply embedded in socio-cultural contexts beyond surface linguistic forms.

arXiv:2606. 30790v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Romanized Code Mixing (RCM), where bilingual speakers fluidly blend local languages with English in Roman script, has emerged as the dominant form of communication across multilingual communities.

arXiv:2607. 16777v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present JOR-Bench, a collection of five Japanese-language benchmarks for evaluating the ability of large language models (LLMs) to formulate and solve operations research (OR) problems.

arXiv:2608. 15932v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As state-of-the-art machine translation models saturate standard benchmarks, the field needs more challenging evaluations to distinguish between models of varying quality.

arXiv:2607. 29355v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Cross-lingual transfer is central to low-resource machine translation, but its behavior within closely related language families remains insufficiently characterized.

arXiv:2606. 01204v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We investigate whether large language models produce different medical triage recommendations for identical symptoms based solely on the language of the patient prompt.
