Several limitations and biases in the data collection and curation process of the MLaKE benchmark may impact the evaluation of knowledge editing methods:
Language Imbalance: The dataset may exhibit language imbalance, with certain languages having more data than others. This imbalance can skew the evaluation results towards languages with more samples, affecting the generalizability of knowledge editing methods across all languages.
Entity and Relationship Selection: The process of selecting entities and relationships for the dataset may introduce biases based on the availability and coverage of information in different languages. This bias can impact the performance of knowledge editing methods on specific types of entities or relationships.
Translation Quality: The quality of translations across languages can vary, leading to inaccuracies or inconsistencies in the dataset. Poor translations can introduce noise and errors that affect the evaluation of knowledge editing methods in multilingual settings.
Cultural and Contextual Biases: The cultural and contextual differences between languages may not be adequately captured in the dataset, leading to biases in the evaluation of knowledge editing methods. Certain cultural nuances or context-specific information may be overlooked, impacting the performance of models in real-world scenarios.
Annotation Errors: Human annotation errors or inconsistencies in the dataset can introduce noise and inaccuracies that affect the evaluation of knowledge editing methods. It is essential to address and mitigate these errors to ensure the reliability of the benchmark.
