X-CSR

To evaluate multi-lingual language models (ML-LMs) for commonsense reasoning in a cross-lingual zero-shot transfer setting (X-CSR), i.e., training in English and test in other languages, we create two benchmark datasets, namely X-CSQA and X-CODAH. Specifically, we automatically translate the original CSQA and CODAH datasets, which only have English versions, to 15 other languages, forming development and test sets for studying X-CSR. As our goal is to evaluate different ML-LMs in a unified evaluation protocol for X-CSR, we argue that such translated examples, although might contain noise, can serve as a starting benchmark for us to obtain meaningful analysis, before more human-translated datasets will be available in the future.
