Which country has Ouagadougou as its capital? | Burkina Faso | African geography | Okay, the user is asking which country Ouagadougou is the capital of. Let me start by recalling what I know about Ouagadougou. It's a city in Burkina Faso. I remember that Burkina Faso is a country in West Africa.
Wait, I should double-check that. Is Ouagadougou the capital of Burkina Faso? Let me think. Yes, Ouagado... |
If a farmer has 18 goats and sells 11, how many goats remain? | 7 | Arithmetic reasoning | To find out how many goats remain, we subtract the number of goats sold from the initial number of goats. The initial number of goats is 18, and the number of goats sold is 11. So, the calculation is \( 18 - 11 = 7 \). Therefore, 7 goats remain.

A trader buys 5 bags of rice and later buys 7 more bags. He sells 4 bags. How many bags does he have left? | 8 | Multi-step reasoning | To determine how many bags the trader has left, we need to follow these steps:
1. **Calculate the total number of bags bought:**
- The trader buys 5 bags of rice.
- He then buys 7 more bags.
- Total bags bought = 5 + 7 = 12 bags.
2. **Calculate the number of bags sold:**
- The trader sells 4 bags.

Translate to English: Il me reste 3500 francs à payer. | I still have 3500 francs to pay. | Translation nuance | <think>
We need to translate the French sentence "Il me reste 3500 francs à payer." into English. First, let's understand the meaning. "Il" is "it" or "he" (subject). "me reste" is "I have left" or "I have remaining". "3500 francs" is "3500 francs". "à payer" is "to pay". So the sentence means "I have 3500 francs left ... |

Is Mooré a tonal language? Answer yes or no | Yes. Mooré is a tonal language where tone changes meaning. | Linguistic knowledge | .
No.
Mooré is a tonal language, but it is not a **tonal language** in the strict phonological sense (as in languages like English, German, or Japanese). Instead, it is a **tonal language** in the **phonological** sense.
This means that the tonal system is determined by the **phonetic** properties of the language,... |

Blind Spots of Qwen3.5-0.8B
Overview
This dataset documents failure cases of the base model
Qwen3.5-0.8B.
The model has approximately 0.8 billion parameters and is designed as a lightweight multilingual language model.
The goal of this dataset is to highlight cases where the model produces incorrect, misleading, or suboptimal outputs across diverse tasks including translation, reasoning, and regional knowledge.
The dataset focuses particularly on low-resource African languages, especially Mooré.
Experiment Notebook
The experiments used to generate this dataset are available in the following notebook:

Notebook
The notebook shows:
- how the model was loaded
- how prompts were sent to the model
- how outputs were generated
- how failure cases were identified and collected
Dataset Structure
Each entry in the dataset contains four fields:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| prompt | Input question or instruction |
| expected_answer | Correct or expected answer |
| model_output | Output generated by the model |
| blind_spot | Category describing the model’s weakness |
The dataset contains 10 diverse examples where the model produces incorrect outputs.
Example
| prompt | expected_answer | blind_spot |
|---|---|---|

| What is the most widely spoken language in Burkina Faso? | Mooré | African linguistic knowledge |
| Which country has Ouagadougou as its capital? | Burkina Faso | African geography |
Observed Blind Spots
1. Low-Resource Language Translation
The model struggles with Mooré, a major language spoken in Burkina Faso.
Typical failures include:
- repeating the input instead of translating
- generating incorrect translations
- producing unrelated or hallucinated outputs
2. Incorrect African Knowledge
The model sometimes produces incorrect information about languages spoken in Burkina Faso, such as identifying French or Bambara as the most widely spoken language.
3. Overly Verbose Responses
For simple reasoning questions, the model often generates long explanations instead of concise answers.
Example:
Expected answer
7
Model output
To find out how many goats remain, we subtract the number of goats sold...
4. Failure on Mooré Numerical Expressions
The model fails to correctly interpret numeric expressions written in Mooré and generates unrelated explanations instead of numeric answers.
How These Errors Could Be Fixed
Improving performance would require fine-tuning the model on datasets including the following types of data.
African Language Translation
Parallel corpora including:
- Mooré ↔ French
- Mooré ↔ English
Possible sources include:
- linguistic research corpora
- educational materials
- religious translation datasets
African Knowledge Question Answering
Datasets covering:
- African geography
- African languages
- regional cultural knowledge
Potential sources include:
- Wikipedia
- Wikidata
- educational textbooks
Concise Instruction-Following Data
Datasets encouraging short and precise answers, such as:
Question: If a farmer has 18 goats and sells 11, how many remain?
Answer: 7
Estimated Dataset Size
To significantly improve the model, a fine-tuning dataset of approximately:
- 50k–200k translation examples
- 10k–20k structured QA examples
could be sufficient.
