Task Description

 

This Shared Task aims to challenge and assess LLMs’ capabilities to understand and generate Ukrainian, paving the way for LLM development in Slavic languages.

 

In this shared task, your goal is to instruction-tune a large language model that can answer questions and perform tasks in Ukrainian. The model should possess knowledge of Ukrainian history, language, and literature, as well as common knowledge, and should be capable of generating fluent and factually accurate responses.

 

You can find the detailed instructions, limitations, baseline, and evaluation sample at https://github.com/unlp-workshop/unlp-2024-shared-task.

Publication

 

Participants in the shared task are invited to submit a paper to the UNLP 2024 workshop. Submitting a paper is not mandatory for participating in the Shared Task. Papers must follow the workshop submission instructions and will undergo regular peer review. Their acceptance will not depend on the results obtained in the shared task, but on the quality of the paper. Accepted papers will appear in the ACL anthology and will be presented at a session of UNLP 2024 specially dedicated to the Shared Task.
