Dataset Card for GSM8K_mk

This is the Macedonian version of the GSM8K (Grade School Math 8K) dataset by OpenAI. It has been machine translated using the synglot library by Manifold Intelligence, leveraging gpt-4.1-mini to process each instance.

Uses

GSM8K_mk can be used for improving the mathematical capabilities of Macedonian LLMs. We particularly encourage using this dataset to fine-tune models using reinforcement learning, as the questions require multiple reasoning steps, yet have exact verifiable answers.

Dataset Structure

The dataset currently only contains the train split of the main configuration. The test split will be uploaded shortly. Note: the calculator annotations have been removed before translation, and GSM8K_mk therefore does not contain them.

Dataset Creation

Curation Rationale

Macedonian is a low-resource language -- a fact with downstream implications for the performance of LLMs in Macedonian. Given the popularity of GSM8K, we believe providing a readily-availabel Macedonian translation of this dataset can help the open-source community in developing better language models in Macedonian.

Furthermore, as reasoning models become a new standard for tackling problems in verifiable domains, we hope the Macedonian open-source community can take advantage of this dataset to experiment with reinforcement fine-tuning of LLMs.

Source Data

The data was sourced from the GSM8K (Grade School Math 8K) dataset by OpenAI.

Translation Process

We performed the machine translation using the synglot library by Manifold Intelligence. GPT-4.1-mini was chosen to process each instance, as it provides an excellent quality-to-cost ratio. The entire process costs <$5 if performed using OpenAI's Batch API, and <$10 if performed using standalone requests to OpenAI's Completions API.
