ParliaBench: An Evaluation and Benchmarking Framework for LLM-Generated Parliamentary Speech
PositiveArtificial Intelligence
The introduction of ParliaBench marks a significant advancement in the field of AI-generated parliamentary speech, addressing the limitations of existing language models that often lack the necessary training for political contexts. By constructing a dataset of speeches from the UK Parliament, researchers have created a robust foundation for systematic model training. The evaluation framework developed alongside ParliaBench incorporates both computational metrics and assessments from LLMs, focusing on linguistic quality, semantic coherence, and political authenticity. Notably, two novel metrics—Political Spectrum Alignment and Party Alignment—have been introduced to quantify ideological positioning, enhancing the framework's ability to evaluate political dimensions effectively. The fine-tuning of five large language models resulted in the generation of 28,000 speeches, with results indicating statistically significant improvements in quality across various metrics.
