Subject: Call for Contributions: Physical Commonsense Reasoning Datasets for 40+ Languages


The Multilingual Representation Learning (MRL) workshop is looking for
volunteers to contribute to a multilingual physical commonsense
reasoning dataset, to be used to evaluate large language model
capabilities across languages. Contributors would submit a
manually-written dataset in their native language(s), or with the help
of a native speaker of a non-English language (even just 100 examples
is ok). We will provide guidance on how to do this!
We currently have volunteers for ~40 languages, but we would love to
expand our language coverage. If you or anyone you know might be
interested, the interest form is here:
https://forms.gle/zxhpCfL6wvBzb15e7
More details are on our website:
https://sigtyp.github.io/st2025-mrl.html
Everyone who contributes data will have the option to be included on
the final benchmark paper. We intend for dataset contributions to
require fairly minimal work. Feel free to spread this call to others
who might be interested!
