BhashaBench-Multi (Ayurveda)#

Overview#

BhashaBench-Multi (Ayurveda) is a domain-specific multiple-choice benchmark evaluating LLM knowledge of Ayurvedic medicine across 22 Indic languages. Each question originates in English and is machine translated (with LLM-judged translation quality scores) into the target language; this adapter uses the translated question/choices.

Task Description#

Task Type: Domain-Specific Multiple-Choice Question Answering
Input: A Ayurvedic medicine question with 4 answer choices, in one of 22 Indic languages
Output: Correct answer letter
Languages: Assamese, Bengali, Bodo, Dogri, Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Kashmiri, Konkani, Maithili, Malayalam, Manipuri, Marathi, Nepali, Oriya, Punjabi, Sanskrit, Santhali, Sindhi, Tamil, Telugu, Urdu

Key Features#

~14,963 questions per language across 22 Indic languages per domain (~330k total per domain)
Machine-translated from English with LLM-judged translation quality scores
22 scheduled languages of India, all in native script; no English split
Four domains available as separate benchmarks: Ayurveda, Finance, Krishi, Legal

Evaluation Notes#

Default configuration uses 0-shot evaluation (test split, the only split available)
Use subset_list to evaluate specific languages (e.g., ['Hindi', 'Tamil']), or limit to cap sample count — each domain is ~14,963 questions per language across 22 languages (~330k total), so evaluating every language’s full split is a large run
No English split exists for this dataset
