SailCompass: Towards Reproducible and Robust Evaluation for Southeast Asian Languages

In this work, we present SailCompass, a comprehensive suite of evaluation scripts designed for robust and reproducible evaluation of multilingual language models targeting Southeast Asian languages.

SailCompass encompasses three major SEA languages and covers eight primary tasks using 14 datasets, spanning three task types: generation, multiple-choice questions, and classification.

Please refer to SailCompass Paper for more details.

Environment Setup

We use OpenCompass to evaluate the models. To install the required packages, run the following command under this folder:

conda create --name sailcompass python=3.10 pytorch torchvision pytorch-cuda -c nvidia -c pytorch -y
conda activate sailcompass

git clone https://github.com/sail-sg/sailcompass sailcompass

###git clone submodule
cd sailcompass
git submodule update --init --recursive

###git clone opencompass and copy the config
bash setup_environment.sh

###download eval data from huggingface
mkdir data
python download_eval_data.py

Evaluation Script

To build the evaluation script, run the following command under this folder:

bash setup_sailcompass.sh

Run Evaluation

To run the evaluation, run the following command under this folder:

cd opencompass
python run.py configs/eval_sailcompass.py -w outputs/sailcompass --num-gpus 1 --max-num-workers 64 --debug

Acknowledgment

Thanks to the contributors of the opencompass.
