New Urdu LLM, Riazi-8B, enhances mathematical reasoning

Researchers have developed Riazi-8B, a new large language model specifically designed for mathematical reasoning in Urdu. This model was created through a two-step adaptation process, involving continued pre-training on Urdu Wikipedia and fine-tuning on Urdu Chain-of-Thought data. Evaluations on the MGSM-Urdu benchmark show that Riazi-8B outperforms existing Urdu instruction-tuned models in answer correctness and reasoning quality, demonstrating an effective strategy for extending advanced AI capabilities to low-resource languages. AI

IMPACT Extends advanced mathematical reasoning capabilities of LLMs to low-resource languages like Urdu.

    Riazi-8B: An Urdu Large Language Model for Mathematical Reasoning

    Recent LLMs demonstrate strong mathematical reasoning capabilities, but existing gains rely heavily on English-centric training resources and benchmarks. As a result, reasoning performance degrades substantially in low-resource languages such as Urdu, where reasoning-oriented dat…
