BhashaBench-V1 (Ayurveda)

Overview

BhashaBench-Ayur is the predecessor of BhashaBench-Multi’s ayur domain: a domain-specific multiple-choice benchmark evaluating LLM knowledge of Ayurvedic medicine, covering English and Hindi.

Task Description

• Task Type: Domain-Specific Multiple-Choice Question Answering

• Input: An Ayurvedic medicine question with 4 answer choices, in English or Hindi

• Output: Correct answer letter

• Languages: English, Hindi

Key Features

• 5,600–17,000 questions per language, covering English and Hindi only

• Predecessor of BhashaBench-Multi: same domains, narrower language coverage

• Each domain is a separate repository, with English and Hindi as separate configs

Evaluation Notes

• Default configuration uses 0-shot evaluation (test split, the only split available)

• Use subset_list to evaluate a single language (e.g., ['Hindi'])

• Requires access to this gated dataset - on ModelScope (the default hub), accept the terms and ensure you’re logged in; alternatively, set dataset_hub to huggingface and use HF_TOKEN after accepting the terms on huggingface.co

• For broader language coverage of the same domain, see bhasha_bench_multi_ayur (22 Indic languages, not gated)

    --datasets bhashabenchv1_ayur \
    --limit 10  # Remove this line for formal evaluation

Using Python

from evalscope import run_task
from evalscope.config import TaskConfig

task_cfg = TaskConfig(
    model='YOUR_MODEL',
    api_url='OPENAI_API_COMPAT_URL',
    api_key='EMPTY_TOKEN',
    datasets=['bhashabenchv1_ayur'],
    dataset_args={
        'bhashabenchv1_ayur': {
            # subset_list: ['English', 'Hindi']  # optional, evaluate specific subsets
        }
    },
    limit=10,  # Remove this line for formal evaluation
)
