## Introduction |
|
|
|
**M4LE** is a **M**ulti-ability, **M**ulti-range, **M**ulti-task, bilingual benchmark for long-context evaluation. We categorize long-context understanding into five distinct abilities by considering whether it is required to identify single or multiple spans in long contexts based on explicit or semantic hints. Specifically, these abilities are explicit single-span, semantic single-span, explicit multiple-span, semantic multiple-span, and global. Different from previous long-context benchmarks that simply compile from a set of existing long NLP benchmarks, we introduce an automated method to transform short-sequence tasks into a comprehensive long-sequence scenario encompassing all these capabilities. |
|
|
|
M4LE consists of 36 tasks, covering 11 task types and 12 domains. For each task, we construct 200 instances for each context length bucket (1K, 2K, 4K, 6K, 8K, 12K, 16K, 24K, 32K, 64K, 128K). Due to computation and cost constraints, our paper evaluated 11 well-established LLMs on instances up to the 8K context length bucket. For more details, please refer to the paper available at <https://arxiv.org/abs/2310.19240>. You can also explore the GitHub page at <https://github.com/KwanWaiChung/M4LE>. |

|
## Format |
|
|
|
Each testing instance follows this format: |
|
|
|
```yaml |
|
{ |
|
"instruction": "<task description>", |
|
"input": "<task input with one-shot example>", |
|
"answers": ["<answer1>", "<answer2>"], |
|
"input_length": <int, number of words in instruction and input separated by space>, |
|
"total_length": <int, number of words in instruction, input and gold answer separated by space>, |
|
"length_bucket": <int, the length bucket to which this instance belongs> |
|
} |
|
``` |
|
|
|
