Dataset Card for XGLUE

Dataset Summary

XGLUE is a new benchmark dataset to evaluate the performance of cross-lingual pre-trained models with respect to cross-lingual natural language understanding and generation.

XGLUE is composed of 11 tasks spans 19 languages. For each task, the training data is only available in English. This means that to succeed at XGLUE, a model must have a strong zero-shot cross-lingual transfer capability to learn from the English data of a specific task and transfer what it learned to other languages. Comparing to its concurrent work XTREME, XGLUE has two characteristics: First, it includes cross-lingual NLU and cross-lingual NLG tasks at the same time; Second, besides including 5 existing cross-lingual tasks (i.e. NER, POS, MLQA, PAWS-X and XNLI), XGLUE selects 6 new tasks from Bing scenarios as well, including News Classification (NC), Query-Ad Matching (QADSM), Web Page Ranking (WPR), QA Matching (QAM), Question Generation (QG) and News Title Generation (NTG). Such diversities of languages, tasks and task origin provide a comprehensive benchmark for quantifying the quality of a pre-trained model on cross-lingual natural language understanding and generation.

The training data of each task is in English while the validation and test data is present in multiple different languages. The following table shows which languages are present as validation and test data for each config.

Therefore, for each config, a cross-lingual pre-trained model should be fine-tuned on the English training data, and evaluated on for all languages.

Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

The XGLUE leaderboard can be found on the homepage and consists of a XGLUE-Understanding Score (the average of the tasks ner , pos , mlqa , nc , xnli , paws-x , qadsm , wpr , qam ) and a XGLUE-Generation Score (the average of the tasks qg , ntg ).

Languages

For all tasks (configurations), the "train" split is in English ( en ).

For each task, the "validation" and "test" splits are present in these languages:

• ner: en , de , es , nl
• pos: en , de , es , nl , bg , el , fr , pl , tr , vi , zh , ur , hi , it , ar , ru , th
• mlqa: en , de , ar , es , hi , vi , zh

As they say, the devil is in the details, and it's not every day you see such attention paid to every last area of a restoration like with this 1961 Willys Pickup . Already the Pickup has a unique look that shares some styling with the Jeep, plus some original touches you don't get anywhere else. It's a classy way to show up to any event, all thanks to Hollywood Motors . A burgundy paint job contrasts with white lower panels and the roof. Plenty of tasteful chrome details grace the exterior, including the bumpers, headlight bezels, crossmembers on the grille, hood latches, taillight bezels, exhaust finisher, tailgate hinges, etc. Steel wheels painted white and chrome hubs are a tasteful addition. Beautiful oak side steps and bed strips add a touch of craftsmanship to this ride. This truck is of real showroom quality, thanks to the astoundingly detailed restoration work performed on it, making this Willys Pickup a fierce contender for best of show. Under that beautiful hood is a 225 Buick V6 engine mated to a three-speed manual transmission, so you enjoy an ideal level of control. Four wheel drive is functional, making it that much more utilitarian and downright cool. The tires are new, so you can enjoy a lot of life out of them, while the wheels and hubs are in great condition. Just in case, a fifth wheel with a tire and a side mount are included. Just as important, this Pickup runs smoothly, so you can go cruising or even hit the open road if you're interested in participating in some classic rallies. You might associate Willys with the famous Jeep CJ, but the automaker did produce a fair amount of trucks. The Pickup is quite the unique example, thanks to distinct styling that really turns heads, making it a favorite at quite a few shows.
