Extracted from CUHK Press Release, dated 30 Oct 2025
The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) today (30 October) announced the launch of CLEVA-Cantonese, the world’s first dynamic evaluation platform and ecosystem dedicated to the Cantonese language. Cantonese is a vital language for communities in Hong Kong, Guangdong and other Cantonese-speaking regions. This pioneering platform delivers fair, dynamic, informative benchmarking that reveals how well various large language models (LLMs) support Cantonese. It provides researchers and developers with meaningful insights to accelerate the improvement and real-world application of Cantonese-capable LLMs.
This project is a collaboration between CUHK’s InnoHK Centre for Perceptual and Interactive Intelligence (CPII) and the CUHK Language and Vision (LaVi) Lab. It is co-led by Professor Helen Meng Mei-ling, Patrick Huen Wing Ming Professor of Systems Engineering and Engineering Management and Director of CPII, and Professor Wang Liwei, Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at CUHK, Leader of the LaVi Lab and CLEVA project leader.
