### Paper

Title: Latxa: An Open Language Model and Evaluation Suite for Basque

Abstract: https://arxiv.org/abs/2403.20266

EusReading consists of 352 reading comprehension exercises (irakurmena) sourced from the set of past EGA exams from 1998 to 2008. Each test generally has 10 multiple-choice questions, with 4 choices and a single correct answer. These exercises are more challenging than Belebele due to the complexity and length of the input texts. As a result, EusReading is useful to measure long context understanding of models.
