# Dataset Card for Amharic TruthfulQA

Amharic Translated [TruthfulQA](https://huggingface.co/datasets/truthful_qa/viewer/multiple_choice) evaluation dataset.
Translation using [seamless_communication](https://github.com/facebookresearch/seamless_communication)

## Uses

Evaluating Amharic language models on truth in generating answers to questions.
The questions are taken from [TruthfulQA](https://paperswithcode.com/dataset/truthfulqa) and comprises 817 questions that span 38 categories, including health, law, finance and politics.

### Out-of-Scope Use

Please avoid training Amharic language models on this dataset.
It is too small to make any difference while also ruining the ability to evaluate different amharic language models.

## Dataset Creation

### Curation Rationale

To progress Amharic model capabilities, there needs to be a common benchmark and leaderboard for amharic LLMs.

### Source Data

TruthfulQA Multiple Choice Dataset: https://huggingface.co/datasets/truthful_qa/viewer/multiple_choice
Only translated the single choice questions for the time being.
TODO: translate multi choice questions.

#### Data Collection and Processing

Used seamless_communication fork: https://github.com/iocuydi/seamless_communication in order to use batch inference.

Model: `seamless M4T_large`

```
text_tokenizer = load_unity_text_tokenizer("seamlessM4T_large")
token_encoder = text_tokenizer.create_encoder(
task="translation", lang='eng', mode="source", device=device_cpu
)
translator = Translator("seamlessM4T_large", "vocoder_36langs", device, dtype)

```

## Bias, Risks, and Limitations

This benchmark is inferior to any hand curated benchmark doing a similar objective but asking questions which have higher relevancy to Ethiopian culture.

Users should be made aware of the risks, biases and limitations of the dataset.

数据集用途

• 评估: 用于评估阿姆哈拉语语言模型在生成答案时的真实性。
• 问题来源: 问题来自TruthfulQA数据集，包含817个问题，涵盖38个类别，包括健康、法律、金融和政治等。

数据集限制

• 避免训练: 请避免使用此数据集训练阿姆哈拉语语言模型，因为数据集太小，无法产生显著影响，同时会破坏评估不同阿姆哈拉语语言模型的能力。
