# Dataset Summary

`Aya Evaluation Suite` contains a total of 25,750 open-ended conversation-style prompts to evaluate multilingual open-ended generation quality.\
To strike a balance between language coverage and the quality that comes with human curation, we create an evaluation suite that includes:
1) human-curated examples in 7 languages (`tur,eng,yor,arb,zho,por,tel`).
2) machine-translations of handpicked examples into 101 languages.
3) human-post-edited translations into 6 languages (`hin,srp,rus,fra,arb,spa`).

# Dataset

The `Aya Evaluation Suite` includes the following subsets:

1. **aya-human-annotated**: 250 original human-written prompts in 7 languages each.
2. **dolly-machine-translated**: 200 human-selected prompts from [databricks-dolly-15k](https://www.databricks.com/blog/2023/04/12/dolly-first-open-commercially-viable-instruction-tuned-llm)
, automatically translated with the [NLLB model](https://ai.meta.com/research/no-language-left-behind/) from English into 101 languages.
3. **dolly-human-edited**: 200 dolly-machine-translated prompts post-edited by fluent speakers for 6 languages.
