The rise of pre-trained language models has revolutionized natural language processing (NLP) tasks, but concerns about the propagation of social biases in these models remain, particularly in under-resourced languages like Basque. This paper introduces BasqBBQ, the first benchmark designed to assess…
This work investigates the acquisition of formal linguistic competence by neural language models, hypothesizing that languages with complex grammar, such as Basque, present substantial challenges during the pre-training phase. Basque is distinguished by its complex morphology and flexible word order…
XNLI is a popular Natural Language Inference (NLI) benchmark widely used to evaluate cross-lingual Natural Language Understanding (NLU) capabilities across languages. In this paper, we expand XNLI to include Basque, a low-resource language that can greatly benefit from transfer-learning approaches.…
