MADLAD-400: A Multilingual And Document-Level Large Audited Dataset
We introduce MADLAD-400, a manually audited, general domain 3T token monolingual dataset based on CommonCrawl, spanning 419 languages. We discuss the limitations revealed by self-auditing MADLAD-400, and the role data auditing had in the dataset creation process. We then train and release a 10.7B-parameter multilingual machine translation model on 250 billion tokens covering over 450 languages using publicly available data, and find that it is competitive with models that are significantly larger, and report the results on different domains. In addition, we train a 8B-parameter language model, and assess the results on few-shot translation. We make the baseline models available to the research community.

Somali is a Cushitic language of the Horn of Africa with ~25 million speakers, yet no documented dedicated Somali pretraining corpus with a companion tokenizer and language-identification benchmark has been publicly rele…
GAIA-v2-LILT: Multilingual Adaptation of Agent Benchmark beyond Translation
Agent benchmarks remain largely English-centric, while their multilingual versions are often built with machine translation (MT) and limited post-editing. We argue that, for agentic tasks, this minimal workflow can easil…
