For clarity -- great project, but most of the MMLU errors we found (and fixed) in our MMLU Redux paper (arxiv.org/abs/2406.04127) are also present in this dataset. We also provide a curated version of MMLU, so it's easy to fix 😊
Announcing Global-MMLU - an improved MMLU Open dataset with evaluation coverage across 42 languages.

The result of months of work with the goal of advancing Multilingual LLM evaluation.

Built together with the community and amazing collaborators at Cohere4AI, MILA, MIT, and many more.
