# Ko-Bench

## 1. Introduction 

**Ko-Bench** is a benchmark designed for evaluating the performance of Korean language models. Following the translation of the [MT-Bench](https://github.com/lm-sys/FastChat/blob/main/fastchat/llm_judge/data/mt_bench/question.jsonl) dataset into Korean, we modified the questions to incorporate elements specific to Korea and its characteristics.

## 2. Advantages

To assess whether Korea’s geography and culture can be effectively represented in Korean, we modified the existing dataset by replacing 'Hawaii' with '제주도', a prominent tourist destination in Korea. 

Additionally, we adjusted the translation or interpretation of foreign terms such as 'casual' and 'limerick' to their Korean equivalents and evaluated the model using queries that are appropriate for the Korean language.

In the Roleplay evaluation, we substituted foreign figures such as 'Elon Musk' and 'Sheldon' with well-known Korean personalities, including '유재석' and '천송이' from the drama '별에서 온 그대', and employed their distinctive speaking styles. This adjustment aimed to determine if the model could accurately generate content in Korean.

We also endeavored to create a dataset that reflects Korean conventions by modifying elements such as monetary units, names, variables, company names, and job titles to align with Korean standards.
