FarSense: A Comprehensive Commonsense Benchmark and Evaluation Framework for the Farsi Language

, Publications

Published in the Proceedings of the 14th International Joint Conference on Natural Language Processing and the 4th Conference of the Asia-Pacific Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics (IJCNLP-AACL 2025), Mumbai, India.

The paper presents FarSense, a Farsi commonsense benchmark with six tasks (true/false, multiple choice, explanation, cause-effect, counterfactual reasoning and knowledge completion) built from about 4,210 Farsi Wikipedia passages and validated by native speakers. It evaluates five major LLMs and shows that fine-tuning six compact models (1B to 24B) on FarSense brings substantial gains.
