Evaluation

In this directory, we introduce how you can evaluate your model with our pipeline. This pipeline is now available for evaluation of both Chinese and English capability.

Installation

To start model evaluation, you need to install required packages which listed in requirements.txt under evaluate folder.

pip install -r requirements.txt

Evaluation Pipeline

The whole evaluation pipeline consists of three methods:

1. GPT Evaluation: evaluates model predictions using GPT models.
   • Compare the performance of two different models (battle).
   • Rate the model according to pre-defined metrics using prompting design.
   • Rate the model according to pre-defined metrics with additional reference answer using prompting design.
2. Automatic Evaluation: evaluates model predictions using automatic metrics.
3. UniEval: evaluates model predictions using UniEval models(English only).

Evaluation Category

Our evaluation pipeline examines the model's capability using 10 categories of questions. The following table introduces each category:

Evaluation Category	Description
Brainstorming	Models are asked to generate a range of creative and diverse ideas according to the question. The capability of creativity is required.
Chat	Models are asked to continue a multi-round dialogue given the roles involved. The capability of understanding, memorizing previous rounds of the dialogue and answering according to the persona provided is required.
Classification	Models are asked to do classification tasks. The capability of accurate classification is required.

GPT models evaluate the quality of model predictions based on the given prompt words and gives a score between 1-5.

NOTE 1: Even for the same metric, the details of its prompt words and CoT(Chain-of-Thought) can differ based on which category you want to evaluate. For example, prompt words for metric correctness showed here is "Whether the answer is correct or not."(this is for category classification), but for category extraction, prompt words can be "Answers should extract the required information accurately and should not contain any incorrect or misleading information." You can find all the prompt words and CoT(Chain-of-Thought) in prompt/evaluation_prompt.

NOTE 2: To add customized metrics, you can refer to FAQ.

Automatic Evaluation

Automated metrics evaluate the capability of a model by comparing model predictions with reference answers. There are two ways to obtain reference answers:

• For instruction coming from human-designed problems, the reference answers are generated by GPT-3.5, such as roleplay, chat.
• For instruction related with classic NLP problems, the reference answers are collected from open-sourced dataset with target answers, such as classification, extraction, summarization.

There are 6 types of automatic evaluation metrics listed in the table below:

Automatic Evaluation Metric	Description
BLEU-n	Measure the accuracy between prediction and reference. BLEU-1 (Unigram) evaluates accuracy in word level. BLEU-n (n-gram) evaluate the fluency in sentence level.
ROUGE	ROUGE-N measures the number of matching n-grams between prediction and reference. ROUGE-L measures the number of matching longest common subsequence (LCS) between prediction and reference.
Distinct	Measure the diversity of generation text by counting the unique n-grams.
BERTScore	Measure the semantic similarity between tokens of predictions and references with BERT.
Precision Recall F1 Score	Measure the number of overlaps between prediction and reference (design for classification and extraction categories).
CHRF	Measure the similarity of character n-grams between prediction and reference.

UniEval Evaluation

UniEval converts all evaluation tasks of different dimensions(metrics) into Boolean QA problems and utilize the model to answer with “Yes” or “No”. Compared with similarity-based metrics such as ROUGE and BLEU, UniEval can achieve a more comprehensive evaluation. In addition, UniEval also demonstrates its ability to transfer to unseen dimensions and tasks.

In our evaluation pipeline, two pre-trained UniEval evaluators are used. One is unieval-sum and the other is unieval-dialog. The two models can be used for the 3 tasks, summarization, dialogue and data2text. Each task has different evaluation dimensions.

UniEval Model	Task	Dimension(Metric)
unieval-sum	summarization	coherence: whether the summary is coherent consistency: whether the claim is consistent with the given document fluency: whether the paragraph is fluent relevance: whether the summary is relevant to the reference
unieval-sum	data2text	naturalness: whether the utterance is fluent informativeness: whether the utterance is informative according to the reference
unieval-dialog	dialogue	naturalness: whether the response is natural in the dialogue coherence: whether the response is coherent in the dialogue history understandability: whether the response is understandable in the dialogue

NOTE 1: Task "data2text" uses the same model as task "summarization".

NOTE 2: In UniEval paper, the unieval-sum model demonstrates the best transfer ability and so you can evaluate your customized metric with this model. Details of adding customized metrics can be found in FAQ.

NOTE 3: We consider not including all metrics provided in UniEval in our pipeline because the data structure and content of the instructions we want to evaluate are not suitable for direct use of some UniEval metrics.

Evaluation Process

Data Format

Target Answers / Predictions

A JSON file contains one list. Each element in the list is a target answer / prediction record for one instruction / question. An element should have the following fields:

• category (str, compulsory): The category of the instruction / question.
• instruction (str, compulsory): The instruction / question for the LLM.
• input (str, optional): The additional context of the instruction / question.
• output (str, optional): The sample output of the instruction (default: GPT-3.5).
• target (str, optional): The target answer for the instruction.
• id (int, compulsory): The ID of the instruction / question.

If the input has a target answer, the output can be empty. Otherwise, we generate answers from GPT-3.5 as the output, and the target field is empty.

Example:

Model Answers / Predictions

A JSON file contains one list. Each element in the list is a model answer / prediction record for one instruction / question.

An element should have the following fields:

• category (str, compulsory): The category of the instruction / question.
• instruction (str, compulsory): The instruction / question for the LLM.
• input (str, optional): The additional context of the instruction / question.
• output (str, compulsory): The output from the LLM.
• target (str, optional): The target answer for the instruction.
• id (int, compulsory): The ID of the instruction / question.

Example:

[
  {
    "category": "brainstorming",
    "instruction": "请介绍一下人工智能的多个领域。",
    "input": "",
    "output": "{Model Answers / Predictions}",
    "target": "",
    "id": 1
  },

Prompt

Battle Prompt

The following is the Chinese battle prompt. In the battle prompt, the question and answers from two different models are fed into the prompt template. You can find example battle prompt files for Chinese and English in prompt/battle_prompt.

{
  "id": 1,
  "system_prompt": "你是一个检查回答质量的好助手。",
  "prompt_template": "[问题]\n{question}\n\n[1号AI助手的答案]\n{answer_1}\n\n[1号AI助手答案终止]\n\n[2号AI助手的答	案]\n{answer_2}\n\n[2号AI助手答案终止]\n\n[要求]\n{prompt}\n\n",
  "prompt": "我们需要你评价这两个AI助手回答的性能。\n请对他们的回答的有用性、相关性、准确性、详细程度进行评分。每个AI助手都会得到一个1到10分的总分，分数越高表示整体表现越好。\n请首先输出一行，该行只包含两个数值，分别表示1号和2号AI助手的分数。这两个分数之间要有一个空格。在随后的一行中，请对你的评价作出全面的解释，避免任何潜在的偏见，并确保AI助手回答的顺序不会影响您的判断。"
}

Evaluation Prompt

The following is an example of a Chinese GPT evaluation prompt. In an evaluation prompt, you should define your metrics in metrics and provide CoT(Chain-of-Thought) in CoT. You can find example evaluation prompt files for Chinese and English in prompt/evaluation_prompt.

{
  "brainstorming": {
    "id": 1,
    "category": "brainstorming",
    "metrics": {
      "language organization": "语言组织(1-5)：答案语言是否流畅、连贯，使用正确的语法，具有一定逻辑性，使用恰当的连接词、过渡词等等。"
    },
    "CoT": {
      "language organization": "1. 阅读答案，并检查是否有语法错误、用词不当或其他显著的错误。\n2. 检查答案是否具有逻辑性，能够按照合理的顺序传达信息并且能够自圆其说。\n3. 确定答案是否与问题或主题相关，并且能够传达清晰的信息。\n4. 检查答案是否连贯，是否使用适当的转换和过渡来保持句子和段落之间的连贯性。\n5. 检查答案是否具有明确的结构和组织方式，使得读者可以轻松理解信息的层次和结构。\n6. 根据以上因素综合评估答案的语言组织，并给出一个1到5的分数，其中5表示语言组织非常好，而1表示语言组织非常差。\n\n语言组织："
    },
    "prompt": "你是一个好助手。请你为下面“头脑风暴”问题的答案打分。\n\n问题如下：\n\n{question}\n\n答案如下：\n\n{answer}\n\n评分的指标如下：\n\n{metric}\n\n请你遵照以下的评分步骤：\n\n{steps}"
  }
}

"metrics": the metrics that can be used in GPT evaluation. This field determines which metrics can be added to your config file.

"CoT": evaluation steps you prompt to GPT models for each metric defined in "metrics".

Evaluation

Configuration

The following is an example of a Chinese config file. The configuration file can control how the pipeline evaluates the model. You need to specify GPT evaluation metrics, automatic metrics and UniEval metrics in key GPT, Metrics and UniEval(English only). You can find an example English config file in config.

{
  "language": "en",
  "path_for_UniEval": {
    "summarization": "path to unieval-sum model",
    "dialogue": "path to unieval-dialog model",
    "data2text": "path to unieval-sum model"
  },
  "category": {
    "brainstorming": {
      "GPT": ["relevance", "creativity", "practicality", "reasonableness"],
      "Metrics": ["Distinct"],
      "UniEval": [
        "summarization-fluency",
        "data2text-naturalness",
        "data2text-informativeness"
      ]
    },
    "chat": {
      "GPT": ["relevance", "naturalness", "engagingness", "reasonableness"],
      "Metrics": ["Distinct"],
      "UniEval": [
        "dialogue-naturalness",
        "dialogue-coherence",
        "dialogue-understandability"
      ]
    }
  }
}

"language": the language used to evaluate the model capability. We only support Chinese "cn" for now.

"path_for_UniEval": path to the UniEval model.

"category": the category/categories needed to evaluate the model capability.

"GPT": the metrics you want to use for GPT evaluation.

"Metrics": the metrics you want to use for automatic metrics evaluation.

"UniEval": the metrics you want to use for UniEval metrics evaluation. The metric has to be in the "{task}-{metric}" format because different tasks have same metrics such as naturalness and coherence.

You can remove the key such as "Metrics" to skip evaluating answers using its corresponding evaluation metrics.

You can create your config file based on available settings listed in following table.

"category"	"GPT"	"Metrics"	"UniEval"
"brainstorming"	"language organization"	"BLEU"	"dialogue-naturalness"
"chat"	"relevance"	"ROUGE"	"dialogue-coherence"
"classification"	"creativity"	"Distinct"	"dialogue-understandability"
"closed_qa"	"practicality"	"BERTScore"	"data2text-naturalness"
"extraction"	"correctness"	"Precision"	"data2text-informativeness"
"generation"	"naturalness"	"Recall"	"summarization-coherence"
"open_qa"	"engagingness"	"F1 score"	"summarization-consistency"
"rewriting"	"reasonableness"	"CHRF"	"summarization-fluency"
"roleplay"	"diversity"		"summarization-relevance"
"summarization"	"fidelity"
	"conciseness"

NOTE: For categories which don't have standard answers such as brainstorming, you should avoid using automatic metrics such as BLEU and ROUGE which are based on similarity measures and you should use Distinct instead in your config file.

Evaluate

After setting the configuration file, you can evaluate the model using eval.py. If you want to make comparisons between answers of two different models, you should specify two answer files in the argument answer_file_list and two model names in the argument model_name_list. If you want to evaluate one answer file, the length of both answer_file_list and model_name_list should be 1 and the program will perform evaluation using automatic metrics and GPT models.

An example script is provided as follows:

python eval.py \
    --config_file "path to the config file" \
    --battle_prompt_file "path to the prompt file for battle" \
    --gpt_evaluation_prompt_file "path to the prompt file for gpt evaluation" \
    --target_file "path to the target answer file" \
    --answer_file_list "path to the answer files of at most 2 models" \
    --model_name_list "the names of at most 2 models" \
    --gpt_model "which GPT model to use for evaluation" \
    --save_path "path to save results" \
    --openai_key "your openai key" \

If you want GPT evaluation with reference, you can add an argument --gpt_with_reference.

FAQ

How can I add a new GPT evaluation metric?

For example, if you want to add a new metric persuasiveness into category brainstorming, you should add the metric definition and its corresponding CoT(Chain-of-thought) in the evaluation prompt file in prompt/evaluation_promt. The CoT can be generated using ChatGPT. You can prompt ChatGPT to generate evaluation steps for the new metric.

{
  "brainstorming": {
    "id": 1,
    "category": "brainstorming",
    "metrics": {
      "persuasiveness": "persuasiveness(1-5)：a short description for persuasiveness"
    },
    "CoT": {
      "persuasiveness": "CoT for persuasiveness\n\npersuasiveness："
    },
    "prompt": "You are a good assistant. Please rate the given answer to the \"brainstorming\" question below.\n\nThe question is as follows:\n\n{question}\n\nThe answer is as follows:\n\n{answer}\n\nThe metric for evaluation is as follows:\n\n{metric}\n\nYou should follow the following evaluation steps:\n\n{steps}"
  }
}

How can I add a new UniEval evaluation metric?

For example, if you want to add a new metric persuasiveness into task data2text, you should add a Boolean QA question about the metric in function add_question in unieval/utils.py. Please do note that how effectively the model would evaluate this metric is unknown and you may need some experiments to test whether the model is capable of evaluating this metric.

if task == 'data2text':
    if dimension == 'persuasiveness':
        cur_input = 'question: Is this a persuasive utterence </s> utterance: ' + output[i]

To Do

• Add evaluation for English capability
• Support UniEval
• Support GPT-4 evaluation
