A Domain-Specific NLP Benchmark is a NLP benchmark used to evaluate domain-specific NLP systems.
- Context:
- It can (often) be used to assess the ability of NLP models to understand, interpret, and generate domain-specific language accurately.
- It can (often) require domain-specific knowledge and vocabulary, making it distinct from general NLP benchmarks that focus on everyday language.
- It can (often) include tasks like entity recognition, sentiment analysis, and document classification, but with a focus on domain-specific entities and concepts.
- ...
- It can range from being a Narrow Domain NLP Benchmark (of highly specialized field) to being a Broad Domain NLP Benchmark (of multi-disciplinary industry).
- It can range from being a Single-Task Domain NLP Benchmark (of specific domain challenge) to being a Multi-Task Domain NLP Benchmark (of diverse domain challenges).
- It can range from being a Low-Resource Domain NLP Benchmark (of limited domain data) to being a High-Resource Domain NLP Benchmark (of abundant domain data).
- ...
- It can serve as a crucial tool for industries to evaluate and enhance NLP applications that are critical to their operations.
- It can contribute to the development of more specialized and effective NLP solutions in various fields, from healthcare to finance.
- It can help in identifying domain-specific challenges that may not be apparent in general language tasks.
- It can be used to measure the transfer learning capabilities of pre-trained language models to specific domains.
- It can facilitate the comparison of domain-specific language models with general-purpose models on industry-relevant tasks.

- ABSTRACT: The need for domain-specific benchmarks in NLP has grown significantly with the advent of specialized language models. In this work, we introduce LexGLUE, a comprehensive benchmark for legal language understanding, which includes tasks such as case law classification, legal rule extraction, and contract element identification. This benchmark addresses the gap in domain-specific evaluations for legal NLP and sets a new standard for future benchmarks in other domains.
