A new study shows large language models find it much harder to understand the nuances of Indian, British and Australian English.
In 2018, my Australian co-worker asked me, “Hey, how are you going?”. My response – “I am taking a bus” – was met with a smirk. I had recently moved to Australia. Despite studying English for more than 20 years, it took me a while to familiarise myself with the Australian variety of the language.
The results show there is still a long way to go until the promised benefits of AI are enjoyed by all, no matter the type or variety of language they speak. For our purposes, “sentiment” is the characteristic of the emotion: positive or negative . Sarcasm is defined as a form of verbal irony intended to express contempt or ridicule .
These performances are lower than those claimed by the tech companies that develop large language models. For example, GLUE is a leaderboard that tracks how well AI models perform at sentiment classification on American English text.
