New dataset evaluates Chinese ambiguity understanding in LLMs

Researchers have developed CHA-Gen, a new dataset designed to evaluate how well large language models understand linguistic ambiguity in Chinese. This dataset, grounded in Potential Ambiguity Theory, includes over 5,700 sentences and is the first of its kind to offer scalability for Chinese ambiguity research. Evaluations using models like Gemma 3 and Qwen 2.5/3 series revealed that LLMs struggle with detecting ambiguity, though Chain-of-Thought prompting shows improvement. The study also identified common failure modes in LLMs, such as ambiguity blindness and misattribution, and noted a bias towards dominant interpretations. AI

IMPACT Provides a scalable method for creating Chinese ambiguity datasets, enabling better evaluation and improvement of LLM performance on nuanced language understanding tasks.

    Evaluating Chinese Ambiguity Understanding in Large Language Models

    Linguistic ambiguity is critical to the robustness of Large Language Models (LLMs), yet existing research focuses mostly on English, with limited attention devoted to Chinese. Existing Chinese ambiguity datasets (e.g., CHAmbi) suffer from poor scalability. Guided by Potential Amb…
