The paper introduces the Hungarian Language Understanding (HuLU) benchmark, a comprehensive assessment framework designed to evaluate the performance of neural language models on Hungarian language tasks. Inspired by the renowned GLUE and SuperGLUE benchmarks, HuLU aims to address the challenges specific to Hungarian language processing. The benchmark consists of various datasets, each representing different linguistic phenomena and task complexities. Moreover, the paper presents a web service developed for HuLU, offering a user-friendly interface for model evaluation. This platform not only ensures consistent assessment but also fosters transparency by maintaining a leaderboard showcasing model performances. Preliminary evaluations of various LMMs on HuLU datasets indicate that while Hungarian models show promise, there’s room for improvement to match the proficiency of English-centric models in their native language.
