## LCHAIM: Investigating Long Context Reasoning in Hebrew
### Overview
LCHAIM is a dataset designed to evaluate Natural Language Inference (NLI) models in Hebrew. Unlike English, Hebrew is a Morphologically Rich Language (MRL), requiring more research to develop robust NLI models. LCHAIM provides a benchmark for models that need to handle long premises and complex reasoning in Hebrew.
### Dataset Description
LCHAIM was created by translating and validating the English ConTRoL dataset into Hebrew. It consists of 8,325 context-hypothesis pairs that require various types of reasoning, including:
* Coreferential reasoning
* Temporal reasoning
* Logical reasoning
* Analytical reasoning
### Performance Benchmarks
Experiments with LCHAIM highlight the challenges of contextual reasoning in Hebrew. Key results include:
Fine-tuning the LongHero model on both Hebrew NLI datasets and LCHAIM yielded a mean accuracy of 52%, which is 35% (absolute) lower than human performance.
Large Language Models (LLMs) in a few-shot setting achieved the following top mean accuracies:
* Gemma-9B
* Dicta-LM-2.0-7B
* GPT-4o
Top performance: 60.12% mean accuracy
