MoZIP: A Multilingual Benchmark to Evaluate Large Language Models in Intellectual Property

TL;DR

This paper introduces MoZIP, a multilingual benchmark for evaluating LLMs in the intellectual property domain, and presents a new fine-tuned model, MoZi, which outperforms some existing models but still lags behind ChatGPT.

Contribution

The paper creates the first multilingual IP benchmark and develops a specialized LLM, MoZi, for improved performance in IP-related tasks.

Findings

MoZi outperforms BLOOMZ, BELLE, and ChatGLM on MoZIP.

Current LLMs perform poorly on IP tasks, with room for improvement.

Even ChatGPT does not reach passing levels on the MoZIP benchmark.

Abstract

Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated impressive performance in various natural language processing (NLP) tasks. However, there is limited understanding of how well LLMs perform in specific domains (e.g, the intellectual property (IP) domain). In this paper, we contribute a new benchmark, the first Multilingual-oriented quiZ on Intellectual Property (MoZIP), for the evaluation of LLMs in the IP domain. The MoZIP benchmark includes three challenging tasks: IP multiple-choice quiz (IPQuiz), IP question answering (IPQA), and patent matching (PatentMatch). In addition, we also develop a new IP-oriented multilingual large language model (called MoZi), which is a BLOOMZ-based model that has been supervised fine-tuned with multilingual IP-related text data. We evaluate our proposed MoZi model and four well-known LLMs (i.e., BLOOMZ, BELLE, ChatGLM and ChatGPT) on the MoZIP benchmark. Experimental results demonstrate that MoZi outperforms BLOOMZ, BELLE and ChatGLM by a noticeable margin, while it had lower scores compared with ChatGPT. Notably, the performance of current LLMs on the MoZIP benchmark has much room for improvement, and even the most powerful ChatGPT does not reach the passing level.
