Existing large language model (LLM) evaluation benchmarks primarily focus on English, while current multilingual tasks lack parallel questions that specifically assess cross-lingual reasoning abilities. This dual limitation makes it challenging to assess LLMs’ performance in the multilingual setting comprehensively. To fill this gap, we introduce MMLU-ProX, a comprehensive benchmark covering 29 languages, built on an English benchmark. Each language version consists of 11,829 identical questions, enabling direct cross-lingual comparisons. Additionally, to meet efficient evaluation needs, we provide a lite version containing 658 questions per language. To ensure the high quality of MMLU-ProX, we employ a rigorous development process that involves multiple powerful LLMs for translation, followed by expert review to ensure accurate expression, consistent terminology, and cultural relevance. Building on this, we systematically evaluate 36 state-of-the-art LLMs, including reasoning-enhanced and multilingual-optimized LLMs. The results reveal significant disparities in the multilingual capabilities of LLMs: While they perform well in high-resource languages, their performance declines markedly in low-resource languages, particularly for African languages. Through MMLU-ProX, we aim to advance the development of more inclusive AI systems and promote equitable access to technology across global contexts.
Multi-hop question answering (QA) remains challenging, as solutions must reliably integrate and reconcile evidence from multiple sources without succumbing to error propagation. While large language models (LLMs) have achieved substantial improvements via chain-of-thought (CoT) prompting and retrieval-augmented generation, these methods typically adopt a forward-only workflow—early mistakes persist throughout inference, and contradictions discovered later cannot systematically trigger re-evaluation. To address this limitation, we present ReAgent, a reversible multi-agent reasoning framework. Specifically, ReAgent enables agents to backtrack to earlier valid states when conflicts arise, thereby isolating and rectifying flawed assumptions before they undermine subsequent reasoning. Our approach combines explicit local and global rollback protocols with modular role specialization, resulting in a flexible and error-tolerant pipeline. Empirical evaluation on three multi-hop QA benchmarks demonstrates consistent performance gains of approximately 6% over forward-only baselines, in addition to enhanced interpretability. These findings highlight the value of non-monotonic, backtracking-driven inference in complex QA scenarios and point to broader implications for multi-agent collaboration in knowledge-intensive tasks.
Large language models (LLMs) are widely used, but they often generate subtle factual errors, especially in long-form text. These errors are fatal in some specialized domains such as medicine. Existing fact-checking with grounding documents methods face two main challenges: (1) they struggle to understand complex multihop relations in long documents, often overlooking subtle factual errors; (2) most specialized methods rely on pairwise comparisons, requiring multiple model calls, leading to high resource and computational costs. To address these challenges, we propose GraphCheck, a fact-checking framework that uses extracted knowledge graphs to enhance text representation. Graph Neural Networks further process these graphs as a soft prompt, enabling LLMs to incorporate structured knowledge more effectively. Enhanced with graph-based reasoning, GraphCheck captures multihop reasoning chains that are often overlooked by existing methods, enabling precise and efficient fact-checking in a single inference call. Experimental results on seven benchmarks spanning both general and medical domains demonstrate up to a 7.1% overall improvement over baseline models. Notably, GraphCheck outperforms existing specialized fact-checkers and achieves comparable performance with state-of-the-art LLMs, such as DeepSeek-V3 and OpenAI-o1, with significantly fewer parameters.
