GEM (Generation, Evaluation, and Metrics)

Introduced by Sebastian Gehrmann et al. in The GEM Benchmark: Natural Language Generation, its Evaluation and Metrics2 Feb 2021 archive 2025-07-28

Generation, Evaluation, and Metrics (GEM) is a benchmark environment for Natural Language Generation with a focus on its Evaluation, both through human annotations and automated Metrics.

GEM aims to:

  • measure NLG progress across 13 datasets spanning many NLG tasks and languages.
  • provide an in-depth analysis of data and models presented via data statements and challenge sets.
  • develop standards for evaluation of generated text using both automated and human metrics.

It is our goal to regularly update GEM and to encourage toward more inclusive practices in dataset development by extending existing data or developing datasets for additional languages.

Papers archive 2025-07-28

3 shown of 3 papers with a leaderboard row on this dataset's benchmarks, newest first. The archive's own "papers using this dataset" list was never published, so this is the benchmark-backed subset; the archive's count for this dataset is 45. The Syntology column is from Syntology's graph (read 2026-09-24), stated per sample; it is not part of any archive number.
