Frequently asked questions
LLM evaluation benchmarks are standardized tests used to assess the performance, reasoning, and language understanding of large language models. Examples include ROUGE, GLUE, SuperGLUE, and BIG-bench.
Creating a benchmark involves defining clear tasks (e.g., summarization, QA), collecting diverse datasets, selecting evaluation metrics (like F1 or accuracy), and validating the benchmark against multiple LLMs.
Common metrics include ROUGE for summarization, BLEU for translation, accuracy, F1-score, and exact match for QA tasks, along with emerging task-specific metrics for generative performance.
