New benchmark ConlangBench tests LLMs on constructed languages

Researchers have introduced ConlangBench, a novel benchmark designed to evaluate and train large language models (LLMs) on constructed languages (conlangs). This benchmark comprises over 21 million conlang-English parallel sentence pairs and 321,000 vocabulary entries across 21 conlangs. Experiments indicate that LLMs perform better on a posteriori conlangs, which derive their vocabulary from natural languages, and that models can successfully learn conlangs when sufficient parallel corpora are available, though learning curves vary based on the language's creation method. ConlangBench offers a unique platform for studying LLM acquisition of low-resource languages. AI

IMPACT Provides a new evaluation framework for LLM understanding of linguistic diversity and low-resource language acquisition.

    ConlangBench: Exploring Language Knowledge and Learning in LLMs through Diverse Constructed Languages

    arXiv:2608.03505v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Constructed languages (conlangs) are intentionally created human languages with a rich tradition of linguistic creativity. Despite their potential for studying language learning in large language models (LLMs), existing conlangs rem…
