Experiment repository for the "SEACrowd: A Multilingual Multimodal Data Hub and Benchmark Suite for Southeast Asian Languages" paper.
SEACrowd is a collaborative initiative that consolidates a comprehensive resource hub that fills the resource gap by providing standardized corpora in nearly 1,000 Southeast Asian (SEA) languages across three modalities.

Placed under evaluation/.
Through our SEACrowd benchmarks, we assess the quality of AI models on 36 indigenous languages across 13 tasks, offering valuable insights into the current AI landscape in SEA. Furthermore, we propose strategies to facilitate greater AI advancements, maximizing potential utility and resource equity for the future of AI in SEA.
To run a model on our benchmark, simply take add the relevant model to our evaluation script(s):
- NLU
evaluation/run_nlu_prompt_batch.shfor open-source modelsevaluation/run_nlu_prompt_batch_commercial.shfor commercial (API-based) models
- NLG
evaluation/run_nlg_prompt_batch.shfor open-source modelsevaluation/run_nlg_prompt_batch_commercial.shfor commercial (API-based) models
- Speech
evaluation/run_speech_mms.shfor MMS-based modelsevaluation/run_speech_seamless.shfor Seamless-based modelsevaluation/run_speech_wav2vec2_xlsr.shfor Wav2Vec2-based modelsevaluation/run_speech_whisper.shfor Whisper-based models
- Vision-language
The evaluation run will create a log in evaluation/outputs_*/ directory to record the model predictions/generations, and finally a summary of the performance measures per data subset in evaluation/metrics_*/.

evaluation/prompt_utils.py. If you want to modify the data subsets being used in the benchmark, check outevaluation/data_utils.py.
Placed under translationese/.
To analyze the generation quality of LLMs in SEA languages, we build a text classifier to discriminate between translationese and natural texts. We construct a translationese classification training and testing dataset using 49 and 62 data subsets, respectively, covering approximately 39.9k and 51.5k sentences across 9 SEA languages: English (eng), Indonesian (ind), Khmer (khm), Lao (lao), Burmese (mya), Filipino (fil), Thai (tha), Vietnamese (vie), and Malay (zlm).
Our translationese vs. natural train/test data is available on HuggingFace!
To fine-tune the translationese classifier, execute translationese/run.sh. We use a binary label (translationese, i.e., machine-translated or human-translated, or natural, i.e., human-generated) instead of 3 labels (machine-translated, human-translated, human-generated).
Our fine-tuned mDEBERTA SEA translationese classifier is available on HuggingFace!
To obtain the model generations for the naturalness analysis, execute translationese/run_nlg_prompt.sh for open-source models and translationese/run_nlg_prompt_commercial.sh for commercial models.
To classify the model generations, check out translationese/analyze_translationese.ipynb.
