MILIM-Bench

MILIM-Bench is a small Hebrew benchmark for evaluating grapheme-to-phoneme (G2P) systems. It contains Hebrew text examples grouped by linguistic category, with target pronunciations for the words that should be checked.

The benchmark is distributed as MILIM-Bench-v5.tsv and is hosted on Hugging Face at renikud/MILIM-Bench.

Format

Each row contains:

  • Category: the phenomenon being tested.
  • Text: the Hebrew sentence or phrase.
  • Label: expected pronunciation targets, written as token_index=IPA. Token indexes start from 0, and a row may contain one or more indexed words.

Example label:

2=leχˈa

This means token 2 in the text should be pronounced leχˈa.

Categories

The current file has 1,653 examples across 12 categories:

  • acronyms
  • colloquial
  • foreign
  • gender
  • homographs
  • ilspeech-v2-test
  • minimal stress pairs
  • names
  • penultimate stress
  • rare phonemes
  • slang
  • Regular Homographed

Intended Use

Use this dataset to compare Hebrew G2P outputs against category-specific expected pronunciations, especially for ambiguity, stress placement, names, loanwords, slang, acronyms, and gendered forms.
