TQBA++
Ultra-lightweight, multilingual QA eval dataset for rapid testing LLMs. Dataset Characteristics: - Multilingual: Includes packs for Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and Turkish. - Compact: Contains a curated English gold-standard set of 52 QA pairs (under 20kB), enabling immediate and resource-friendly evaluations. - Synthetic Generation: Features a LiteLLM-powered synthetic data generator see tinyqabenchmarkpp, allowing quick creation of custom evaluation sets tailored to specific domains or languages. - Metadata Support: Provided in Croissant-compatible formats, ready for seamless integration with modern evaluation harnesses and CI tools. Motivation and Content Summary: The primary motivation behind TQB++ is to enable rapid iteration and continuous integration (CI) of language models. Existing evaluation benchmarks typically involve significant computational overhead and slow feedback loops. In contrast, TQB++ offers near-instantaneous assessments of model performance and prompt stability across multiple languages. It is particularly sensitive to issues such as prompt-template regressions, tokenizer drift, and fine-tuning side effects. Potential Use Cases: - Continuous Integration (CI): Immediate detection of breaking changes or regressions in LLM pipelines. - Multilingual Model Validation: Quickly assess model accuracy and performance across multiple languages without large compute costs. - Prompt Optimization and Testing: Ideal for iterative prompt refinement workflows, enabling fast feedback loops and effective tuning. - Teaching and Prototyping: Educational use in courses or workshops, showcasing multilingual LLM evaluation in real-time scenarios.
