KLUE: Korean Language Understanding Evaluation

The KLUE is introduced to make advances in Korean NLP. Korean pre-trained language models (PLMs) have appeared to solve Korean NLP problems since PLMs have brought significant performance gains in NLP problems in other languages. Despite the proliferation of Korean language models, however, none of the proper evaluation datasets has been opened yet. The lack of such benchmark dataset limits the fair comparison between the models and further progress on model architectures.

Along with the benchmark tasks and data, we provide suitable evaluation metrics and fine-tuning recipes for pretrained language models for each task. We furthermore release the PLMs, KLUE-BERT and KLUE-RoBERTa, to help reproducing baseline models on KLUE and thereby facilitate future research.

See our paper for more details.

Design Principles

In designing the Korean Language Understanding Evaluation (KLUE) benchmark, we aim to make KLUE;

  1. cover diverse tasks and corpora
  2. accessible to everyone without any restriction
  3. include accurate and unambiguous annotations
  4. mitigate AI ethical issues.

Benchmark Datasets

KLUE benchmark is composed of 8 tasks:

  • Topic Classification (TC)
  • Sentence Textual Similarity (STS)
  • Natural Language Inference (NLI)
  • Named Entity Recognition (NER)
  • Relation Extraction (RE)
  • (Part-Of-Speech) Dependency Parsing (DP)
  • Machine Reading Comprehension (MRC)
  • Dialogue State Tracking (DST)

See wiki for dataset description.

NOTE: In the paper, we describe more in detail how our 4 principles have guided creating KLUE from task selection, corpus selection, annotation protocols, determining evaluation metrics to baseline construction.

KLUE-PLMs

We have trained 2 models: KLUE-BERT and KLUE-RoBERTa.

Model Embedding size Hidden size # Layers # Heads
KLUE-BERT-base 768 768 12 12
KLUE-RoBERTa-small 768 768 6 12
KLUE-RoBERTa-base 768 768 12 12
KLUE-RoBERTa-large 1024 1024 24 16

NOTE: All the pretrained models are uploaded in Huggingface Model Hub. Check https://huggingface.co/klue.
