CrowS-Pairs: A Challenge Dataset for Measuring Social Biases in Masked Language Models

Include

null

This paper examines social biases in LMs against protected demographic groups in the United States. The authors introduce a benchmark, Crowdsourced Stereotype Pairs (CrowS-Pairs), that consists of sentences pairs, where one is more stereotyping, and the other one is less stereotyping. Measuring the probability that LMs assign to these sentence pairs, the authors find that all evaluated LMs manifest substantial social biases across all tested categories.

null

General form of bias

The authors want to measure social biases in LMs.

Yes

"whether a model generally prefers more stereotypical sentences" (p. 1953)

Subset

null

LMs are provided with two sentences, where one is more stereotypical than the other one. The two sentences only differ in the mentioned target group. The authors then measure the probability assigned to the two sentences, where they control for different prior probabilities of the two target groups. For their final bias score, the authors measure how often LMs assign a higher probability to the more stereotypical sentence.

A pair of minimally distant sentences that only differ in the mentioned target group (e.g., "female" versus "male"). One of the two sentences is more stereotypical than the other one.

Enabling LLMs to generate text with citations

Include

null

The paper introduces ALCE (Automatic LLMs’ Citation Evaluation), the first fully‑reproducible benchmark that evaluates how well large language‑model systems answer open questions while providing sentence‑level citations to supporting passages. ALCE includes three citation‑focused QA datasets (ASQA, QAMPARI, ELI5), automatic metrics for fluency, factual correctness, and citation quality, and extensive experiments showing that even GPT‑4‑based systems remain citation‑incomplete roughly half the time.

- First benchmark and codebase for end‑to‑end “answer‑with‑citations” evaluation. - New automatic metrics (sentence‑level citation recall/precision via NLI, claim‑based correctness, MAUVE fluency) with demonstrated human correlation. - Empirical study of prompting, retrieval, and reranking techniques, revealing limits of current LLMs and pointing to future work on better retrieval, long‑context reasoning, and multi‑source synthesis.

SUGARCREPE++ Dataset: Vision-Language Model Sensitivity to Semantic and Lexical Alterations

Include

null

In this paper, we introduce the SUGARCREPE++ dataset to analyze the sensitivity of VLMs and ULMs to lexical and semantic alterations. We comprehensively evaluate VLMs and ULMs that differ in architecture, pre-training objectives and datasets to benchmark the performance of SUGARCREPE++ dataset. Experimental results highlight the difficulties of VLMs in distinguishing between lexical and semantic variations, particularly to object attributes and spatial relations.

null

General Capability (A broadly useful ability, which could be relevant to multiple applications)

The sensitivity of VLMs and ULMs to lexical and semantic alterations.

Yes

Semantic text similarity is one of the oldest metrics to evaluate language understanding and despite recent evidence of lexical sensitivity, large benchmarks evaluate semantic similarity without explicitly considering the lexical influence. In this work, we aim to address this gap by proposing a dataset to perform joint evaluation of semantic understanding — through the semantic equivalence detection task (elaborated below) — and lexical sensitivity in language models.' (page 2)

Comprehensive

null

The task is to evaluate whether language models can accurately detect semantic equivalence or non-equivalence between pairs of captions that differ lexically and syntactically. Each input consists of an image and a triplet of captions: two semantically equivalent but lexically different captions (positives), and one semantically different caption (negative), forming a 3-way semantic (in)equivalence classification task.

A multimodal input pair of an image and a caption (semantically or lexically modified), and a binary label indicating whether the model ranks the original caption higher than the altered one.

STOP! Benchmarking Large Language Models with Sensitivity Testing on Offensive Progressions

Include

null

This paper examines social biases in LMs as they unfold in situations that exhibit gradually increasing levels of offensiveness.

They find that all examined LMs are inconsistent at detecting explicitly offensive bias in STOP.

The LM is provides with five consecutive sentences that progress the narrative of a scenario, with each sentence presenting an increase in problematic content compared to the previous sentence. After each sentence, the LM is asked whether the situation is appropriate. The LM is evaluated by measuring how often the model replies with "no" in problematic settings and "yes" in unproblematic settings. There is an additional evaluation in which the LM is provided with a counterfactual sentence that provides additional context, which is insufficient to justify problematic situations but is thought to distract the LM.

Each item consists of (i) five consecutive sentences that progress the narrative of a scenario, with each sentence presenting an increase in problematic content compared to the previous sentence, (ii) a counterfactual sentence that provides additional context, which is insufficient to justify problematic situations but is thought to distract the LM, and (iii) additional information (e.g., severity level, target group).

UHGEval: Benchmarking the Hallucination of Chinese LLMs via Unconstrained Generation

Include

null

UHGEval introduces a 5k samples benchmark for evaluating hallucination in Chinese large‑language models. The authors collect 2015‑2017 Chinese news articles, ask five different Chinese LLMs to continue each “news beginning” without any restrictive prompts, then automatically rank, label (keyword‑level), and human‑verify hallucinations. The paper also ships a modular evaluation framework supporting three task forms: discriminative, selective, and generative.

- The paper presents the first large-scale unconstrained hallucination benchmark for Chinese LLMs, addressing a major gap in current evaluations that rely on constrained generation techniques (e.g., directed prompts or perturbations). This enables more realistic benchmarking of model behavior in real-world settings. - It introduces a hybrid labelling pipeline combining automatic keyword-level annotation via GPT-4 and human re-verification, ensuring scalable yet accurate hallucination detection which more fine-grained than typical sentence/document-level annotation. - The evaluation framework is notably broad, supporting three evaluation forms including: discriminative (detecting hallucinations), selective (choosing hallucination-free outputs), and generative (continuation from prompt), which allows multi-angle assessment of model robustness. - The benchmark is used to empirically evaluate 11 major LLMs (including 8 Chinese LLMs and 3 GPT models), revealing useful trends (e.g., GPT’s strong discriminative ability but weaker Chinese generative performance), and highlighting the "seesaw" effect between task types. - Overall, UHGEval sets a new standard for hallucination evaluation in low-resource languages (Chinese), with a modular, extensible toolkit that could be generalized to other languages and domains.

General Capability (A broadly useful ability, which could be relevant to multiple applications)

Hallucination / factual consistency in generation

Doolittle: Benchmarks and Corpora for Academic Writing Formalization

Include

null

The paper introduces Academic Writing Formalization (AWF), a paragraph‑level text‑refinement task that converts informal‑academic prose into formal‑academic prose, going beyond grammatical error correction to include word choice and structural improvements. To support the task, the authors release DOOLITTLE, a 68K‑paragraph corpus (55.6 K formal, 13.0 K informal) with expert rewrites for 930 test/dev paragraphs, and they benchmark nine systems, proposing metric‑oriented reinforcement learning (MORL) that lets smaller PLMs approach ChatGPT quality while still trailing human rewrites.

- First large‑scale, paragraph‑level corpus targeting holistic academic‑style formalization. - Crowdsourced formality ratings plus expert rewrites yield both non‑parallel and parallel data. - Introduces MORL: PPO fine‑tuning where the reward is a weighted blend of automatic metrics (ACC‑aesw, PPL, SIM, BARTScore). - Detailed evaluation with classical GEC, style‑transfer, ChatGPT, and MORL‑tuned BART‑Large / Galactica‑1.3B, plus GPT‑4 “LLM‑as‑judge” ratings.

Specific Application (A single use case, where the benchmark is likely to be examples of that use case)

academic‑style formalization / text refinement

Yes

In light of this, we propose the novel task of Academic Writing Formalization (AWF) that aims to generalize the scope of GEC for language refinement: given an informal-academic paragraph P, the objective of AWF is to refine the language of P to make it grammatically correct, concise, and fluent, while preserving its semantics. Additionally, they clarify that AWF consists of three sub-objectives: "(1) grammar correction, (2) word refinement, and (3) structure modification" — to improve grammar, lexical precision, and sentence/paragraph conciseness respectively.

Subset

null

Given an informal‑academic paragraph P, produce a semantically equivalent paragraph that is grammatically correct, uses precise vocabulary, and is stylistically concise and formal.

- The paper combines four automated metrics into a composite reward: 1. Transfer Accuracy (ACC‑aesw) — soft classifier logits from a formality classifier fine-tuned on AESW 2. Perplexity (PPL) — using a GPT‑2 model fine-tuned on formal academic text to assess fluency 3. Semantic Similarity (SIM) — subword-level embedding similarity to original & reference 4. BARTScore (BARTS) — generative likelihood from BART - These metrics are not just used for evaluation, but also combined as a reward signal for reinforcement learning (MORL) via a manually weighted sum.

I Could’ve Asked That: Reformulating Unanswerable Questions

Include

null

The paper introduces CouldAsk, a document‑grounded QA benchmark that first asks a model to detect when a user’s question is unanswerable from a given document and then reformulate that question so it becomes answerable while staying relevant to the user’s intent. COULDASK pools 6 sub‑datasets (3 existing Wikipedia‑based sets and 3 new GPT‑4‑generated–then–human‑verified sets from news, Reddit, and Yelp) and proposes reference‑free automatic metrics to score both the detection (F1) and reformulation (“success rate”) stages, revealing that today’s best LLMs still succeed less than 30 % of the time.

- New task formulation: joint detection + reformulation of presupposition‑error questions. - Broad, multi‑domain benchmark: Wiki (SQuADv2, QA2, BanditQA) plus BBC News, Reddit, Yelp. - Reference‑free evaluation using an answerability classifier and entity‑overlap relevance, validated against human judgements (κ ≈ 0.94). - Detailed error and span‑type analyses; public release of data, code, and answerability classifier.

Specific Application (A single use case, where the benchmark is likely to be examples of that use case)

Unanswerable‑question detection & reformulation

Yes

The paper defines the phenomenon as the ability to detect when a user’s question is unanswerable based on a document and then reformulate it into a relevant and answerable question grounded in that same document. Specifically: “Given a document and a user question, the system must determine if the question is unanswerable. Upon identifying the unanswerable question, it must reformulate the question such that the new question is answerable by the document while remaining relevant to the original question.”

Subset

null

Given a document and a user question, decide if the question is unanswerable; if so, output a minimally edited, document‑answerable version that remains relevant to the user’s query.

A single item consists of a natural language question paired with a supporting document. The model must first determine whether the question is answerable based on the document and, if it is unanswerable, generate a minimally edited, document-answerable reformulation that remains relevant to the original query.

Two subtasks; evaluation only proceeds to reformulation if the model flags the question as unanswerable.

A Glitch in the Matrix? Locating and Detecting Language Model Grounding with Fakepedia

Include

null

The paper introduces Fakepedia, a large synthetic dataset of counter‑factual Wikipedia‑style paragraphs that intentionally contradict models’ stored factual knowledge. Using this dataset, the authors benchmark several LLMs on their ability to ground answers in the prompt rather than in parametric memory and propose Masked Grouped Causal Tracing (MGCT) which is a fast, robust causal‑intervention method to reveal the internal computations that differentiate grounded from ungrounded responses.

- Creation of the Fakepedia‑base (≈21 k items) and Fakepedia‑MH (multi‑hop) datasets - Descriptive grounding benchmark across nine open‑ and closed‑source LLMs - MGCT, a grouped‑state extension of causal tracing that gives a 30‑50x speed‑up - Empirical findings: grounding is distributed, ungrounding is dominated by a few MLPs, and a simple XGBoost on MGCT features detects ungrounded replies with ≈93% accuracy.

General Capability (A broadly useful ability, which could be relevant to multiple applications)

Contextual Grounding

Yes

A factual answer is the object of a true fact triplet, while a grounded answer is the object triplet logically consistent with the information in the context of the prompt. Factuality pertains to the model’s encoded knowledge and its ability to retrieve it, whereas grounding involves the model’s capacity to adapt to its context and reason about new information.

Subset

null

Given a prompt containing a counter‑factual paragraph, the model must supply the object that the paragraph implies (either by generating the next token or selecting from two options).

One JSON row gives a subject, relation, counter‑factual object, query string, and the generated paragraph (plus optional intermediate paragraph for multi‑hop).

SUMMEDITS introduces a 10‑domain benchmark to test whether language models can detect factual inconsistencies in summaries. The authors create a low‑cost, highly reproducible protocol in which seed summaries are lightly edited by an LLM and then labeled by humans as factually consistent or not; most LLMs perform barely above chance, with GPT‑4 still 8 pp below human accuracy.

- (1) A new editing‑based annotation protocol that yields inter‑annotator agreement ≈0.9 while costing ≈20× less than prior datasets. - (2) The 6,348‑samples SUMMEDITS benchmark spanning news, legal, scientific, dialogue, and sales domains. - (3) Extensive evaluation showing specialised factuality methods often beat most general LLMs, and even GPT‑4 trails humans.

Specific Application (A single use case, where the benchmark is likely to be examples of that use case)

CARE-MI: Chinese Benchmark for Misinformation Evaluation in Maternity and Infant Care

Include

null

CARE‑MI introduces a 1,612‑item Chinese benchmark that tests large‑language‑model misinformation in long‑form answers on the sensitive domain of maternity and infant care. Items are derived from biomedical KGs and medical‑licensing MCQ banks, converted mostly with LLM + rule pipelines into true/false and open‑ended questions, paired with retrieved evidence, and vetted by medical experts. The authors evaluate several Chinese LLMs, provide a human baseline, and release a fine‑tuned LLaMA‑13B “judge” model to automate scoring.

- First Chinese, expert‑checked dataset for domain‑specific misinformation in LF generation. - Transferable data‑construction pipeline (true/false + OE Q generation, knowledge retrieval, expert vetting). - Off‑the‑shelf judgment models showing high Pearson ρ (0.87–0.90) with human scores, reducing eval cost.

Attribute or Abstain: LLMs as Long Document Assistants

Include

The authors introduce LAB, a 6‑task benchmark that evaluates whether LLMs reading single long documents can (i) answer or classify correctly, (ii) attribute each claim to explicit evidence spans, or (iii) abstain when the answer is absent. They compare five LLMs and five retrieval strategies, showing that “citation” (one‑shot answer + evidence generation) works best for large or fine‑tuned models, while post‑hoc evidence retrieval can help small models.

- First systematic attribution benchmark in the long‑document (non‑RAG) setting. - Curates six diverse datasets (science, law, government, Wikipedia) and adds synthetic evidence for GovReport. - Analyses positional bias, input‑length effects, and the correlation between evidence quality and answer quality.

Specific Application (A single use case, where the benchmark is likely to be examples of that use case)

Attribution & abstention when answering from long documents

Yes

"If an LLM finds the necessary information, it should provide a response and point to the evidence in the paper (attribute). If not, it should clearly communicate this (abstain).

EpiK-Eval: Evaluation for Language Models as Epistemic Models

Include

EpiK‑Eval is a synthetic QA benchmark that tests whether language models can consolidate facts that are scattered across multiple training documents, rather than stored inside a single context window. The authors generate 18 templated story‑based tasks (counting, temporal, causal, etc.), create both unsegmented and segmented versions of each story, fine‑tune several LLMs on each setting, and compare performance.

Introduces the first controlled testbed for “epistemic” knowledge‑state consistency; shows large gaps and higher hallucination rates when models must integrate knowledge over separate documents; releases code/data on GitHub.

General Capability (A broadly useful ability, which could be relevant to multiple applications)

Analyzing LLM Behavior in Dialogue Summarization: Unveiling Circumstantial Hallucination Trends

Include

null

This work releases a span‑level benchmark that labels factual inconsistencies (“hallucinations”) in dialogue summaries produced by GPT‑4, Alpaca‑13B, and several fine‑tuned BART‑style models on SAMSum and DialogSum. It introduces a refined error taxonomy, most notably the new class Circumstantial Inference, and shows that existing automatic factuality metrics miss many of these subtle errors; two prompt‑based detectors they propose perform better.

(1) New human‑annotated dataset of 2 × dialogue corpora + 3 × model summaries with span‑level error tags (2) refined hallucination taxonomy (3) new prompt/MoE detectors that beat prior QA/NLI metrics at binary and span detection, especially for Circumstantial Inference.

Specific Application (A single use case, where the benchmark is likely to be examples of that use case)

Faithfulness / hallucination in dialogue summarization

Yes

The paper defines hallucination (the phenomenon of interest) as: “statements in summaries that do not have direct evidence in the source material”. Additionally, a specific subclass 'Circumstantial Inference' is introduced and defined as: “statements that appear plausible based on circumstantial (but not direct) evidence in the dialogues”, and further: “When the language model draws inferences based on circumstantial but not direct evidence in the conversation, we label this as a circumstantial inference error” (summarized). This framing reflects an expanded taxonomy of faithfulness violations, emphasising both factual absence and contextually unsupported inference.

Subset

null

Given a dialogue and its machine‑generated summary, identify whether the summary contains unsupported content and mark the non‑factual span(s).

A single row contains: dialogue ID, dialogue text, model name, summary text, list of human‑marked non‑factual spans, supporting evidence indices, binary factual label, and error type(s).

FELM: Benchmarking Factuality Evaluation of LLMs

Include

null

FELM is a meta‑benchmark that measures how well factuality evaluators (usually LLM‑based) can spot factual errors in long‑form answers produced by ChatGPT. It contains 817 prompts spanning five domains (world knowledge, science/tech, writing & recommendation, math, reasoning). The ChatGPT answers are split into 3,948 text‑segments; each segment is human‑labelled as correct or incorrect and, if incorrect, annotated with an error‑type, explanation and supporting / contradicting reference links.

Main contribution – First fine‑grained, multi‑domain benchmark for evaluating the evaluators; provides segment‑level labels, error taxonomy and references, and reports strong baselines showing that even GPT‑4 struggles without retrieval help.

Specific Application (A single use case, where the benchmark is likely to be examples of that use case)

Ability to detect factual errors in LLM‑generated text

Yes

Factuality in text generation systems generally refers to whether the synthetic text contains any factual errors or not. These errors can take various forms, such as an incorrect entity, a fabricated paper reference, a misleading scientific claim, unlogical reasoning, and incorrect mathematical calculations.

Subset

CriticEval: Evaluating Large-scale Language Model as Critic

Include

null

CriticEval is a benchmark that measures the critique ability of large language models (LLMs) along four sub‑skills: feedback, comparison, correction (refinement), and meta‑feedback, across nine diverse task types. It supplies 3.6K human‑vetted items spanning low/medium/high/correct response qualities, provides both scalar and textual critique targets, and offers objective (correlation / accuracy / pass‑rate) and subjective (GPT‑4‑with‑reference) scoring pipelines.

- Defines critique ability formally and decomposes it into four separable dimensions. - Introduces the first large‑scale dataset (3,608 test items, plus dev) with reference critiques, enabling reliable GPT‑4 judging. - Covers 9 task families (translation, chat, QA, summarization, harmlessness, two maths, two coding) and four response‑quality bands, allowing factor analysis. - Presents extensive experiments on 35 open‑ and closed‑source LLMs, validating benchmark reliability and revealing scale trends and open‑source progress.

The Factuality Tax of Diversity-Intervened Text-to-Image Generation: Benchmark and Fact-Augmented Intervention

This paper examines the question of whether prompt-based diversity interventions for text-to-image models result in non-factual demographic distribution. The authors introduce DoFaiR, a benchmark to systematically analyze this question, finding that diversity-oriented instructions indeed lead to historically less accurate demographic distributions. They also propose a method to mitigate this factuality tax.

Options: [A.] 67 [B.] 43 [C.] 57 [D.] 37 Ground Truth Answer: D —————————————- Sampled CoT ——————————————– Sampled Model: Claude2 Model Solution Steps: Step 1: Check Choice A (67) When 67 is divided by 4, the remainder is 3, not 1. So 67 is not the correct answer. Step 2: Check Choice B (43) When 43 is divided by 4, the remainder is 1. When 43 is divided by 3, the remainder is 1. When 43 is divided by 5, the remainder is 3, not 2. So 43 is not the correct answer. Step 3: Check Choice C (57) When 57 is divided by 4, the remainder is 1. When 57 is divided by 3, the remainder is 0, not 1. So 57 is not the correct answer. Step 4: Check Choice D (37) When 37 is divided by 4, the remainder is 1. When 37 is divided by 3, the remainder is 1. When 37 is divided by 5, the remainder is 2. Step 5: Choice D (37) satisfies all the requirements and is the correct answer.

In step 2, the model incorrectly calculated the remainder of 43 divided by 4 as 1 instead of 3. The model assumes that when 43 is divided by 4, the remainder is 1, but it should be 3. There is a miscalculation of the remainder here. Model Solution Rectified First Error Step: Step 2: Check option B (43): When 43 is divided by 4, the remainder is 3, not 1. When 43 is divided by 3, the remainder is 1. When 43 is divided by 5, the remainder is 3, not 2. Therefore, 43 is not the correct answer. ————————————-Model Evaluation Result———————————— Evaluated Model: gpt-4-turbo Evaluation Raw Response: Solution Analysis: Step 1: The step checks the remainder when 67 is divided by 4 and finds that it yields a remainder of 3, not 1. This is a correct verification based on the criteria specified in the question. Step 2: Checks the remainder of 43 when divided by 4, 3, and 5. The findings (1, 1, and 3 respectively) are verified correctly and match the expected remainders except for the one with 5, correctly identifying that the condition is not met for division by 5. Step 3: The step calculates the remainders for 57 being divided by 4 and 3. The remainder when divided by 3 does not match the specified conditions (expected was 1, result was 0). Hence, the claim that 57 isn’t correct is valid. Step 4 and Step 5: Computes and verifies the remainders for 37 when divided by 4, 3, and 5, matching all the expected remainders accurately, and concludes that 37 meets all conditions specified in the problem.

Evaluating Very Long-Term Conversational Memory of LLM Agents

Include

null

The paper introduces LOCOMO, a dataset created through a machine-human pipeline that generates high-quality, very long-term dialogues by grounded LLM-generators in personas and temporal event graphs. Across 10 conversations (each averaging 600 turns and 16K tokens across up to 32 sessions), they present an evaluation benchmark measuring long-term memory in models through question answering, event summarization, and multi-modal dialogue generation tasks.

The dataset is significantly longer than previous conversational datasets (16x longer than MSC, with 10x more turns and 5x more sessions on average). The conversations include multimodal elements through image-sharing and image-response behaviors. Note quite a small dataset (10 items), even though each item is very rich.

General Capability (A broadly useful ability, which could be relevant to multiple applications)

long-term conversational memory

No

They provide the following def: "This long term evaluation is crucial for refining engaging chatbots capable of remembering key information from past interactions, to generate empathetic, consistent, and useful responses" but this is more of a motivation than a definition. They talk a lot about _very_ long term memory but as far as I can see, don't explicitly define what counts as short vs long memory.

Comprehensive

The authors frame conversational memory as a composite capability and design their evaluation benchmark with three distinct tasks (question answering, event summarization, and multi-modal dialogue generation) to measure different aspects.

Three tasks: 1) a question answering task to assess memory recall from conversations, 2) an event summarization task to measure comprehension of causal and temporal connections, and 3) a multi-modal dialogue generation task to evaluate consistency in responses based on past context.

For the QA task, items are questions categorized into five reasoning types (single-hop, multi-hop, temporal, open-domain knowledge, and adversarial). Example: Input = A long context conversation, Q: "Whose birthday did X celebrate?"/ "Would X Likely enjoy The Four Seasons by Vivaldi?" --> Answer = multiple choice (A) For event summarization, items are prompts to summarize events within designated timeframes. Example: Input = long context convo, Q: "Summarize the significant events that have occured in X's life". For multimodal dialogue generation, items are prompts to continue conversations based on prior context. Example: Input = long context convo, Q: "Please generate conversation with appropriate image"

Authors designed the tasks to measure different aspects of long-term memory in conversation. The QA task directly tests factual recall, the event summarization task tests causal and temporal understanding, and the dialogue generation task tests the ability to maintain consistency over time.

Exact Match (accuracy, F1, precision, recall), n-gram (BLEU, ROUGE, chrF), FactScore (Min et al., 2023), a method that evaluates the factuality of generated text by decomposing both the reference and hypothesis into atomic facts; MMRelevance

For the QA task, they say they use F1 score for exact matches after normalizing predicted and ground truth answers. For event summarization, they say they employ both ROUGE scores for lexical similarity and FactScore (which decomposes reference and hypothesis into atomic facts) to measure precision and recall of factual content. For multimodal dialogue generation, they say they measure alignment to groundtruth dialogues through MMRelevance and standard NLG metrics.

The dataset was created through a hybrid pipeline where first LLM-based agents generated conversations based on personas and event graphs, then human annotators edited these conversations to fix inconsistencies, replace irrelevant images, and ensure alignment with event graphs. The authors note that annotators edited approximately 15% of dialog turns and 19% of images.

For multimodal dialogue, they generated 50 conversations as training data

For the QA task, the expected response format is primarily short free responses, where they match exact wording. However, in a figure, they also show the answer as "A) xxxx" which is confusing that it could be multiple choice. For the event summarization task, the format is free response summarization. For the dialogue generation task, the response is a free-form continuation of a multimodal dialogue.

Aligning AI With Shared Human Values

Include

null

The paper introduces the ETHICS dataset, a benchmark for assessing language models' understanding of basic concepts in morality in text-based scenarios across five dimensions based in normative ethics: justice, well-being, duties, virtues, and commonsense morality.

It's notable for covering multiple ethical frameworks rather than focusing on a single aspect like fairness, and for grounding ethical assessment in open-world scenarios. It is anchored in very principled definitions from philosophy and ethics.

General Capability (A broadly useful ability, which could be relevant to multiple applications)

Ethics, moral judgments, human values, machine ethics

Yes

Machine ethics is described as the focus of their work, particularly understanding and embedding ethical principles into AI systems. Some confusion on whether the key concept is machine ethics or human values. Each subcomponent is well-defined: Justice - e.g., "Justice requires giving people what they are due" Deontology - e.g., "Deontological ethics encompasses whether an act is required, permitted, or forbidden according to a set of rules or constraints." Virtue Ethics - "A virtue or vice can be understood as a good or bad character trait, and virtue ethics emphasizes acting as a virtuous person would act (Aristotle, 340 BC) Utilitarianism - e.g., "Utilitarianism states that “we should bring about a world in which every individual has the highest possible level of well-being” (Lazari-Radek and Singer, 2017) Commonsense Morality - e.g., "The body of moral standards and principles that most people intuitively accept is called commonsense morality"

Subset

The paper acknowledges that ethical understanding is complex and varies across cultures, noting that while they focus on "shared human values," they specifically collected data from English speakers in the US, Canada, and Great Britain. The authors also deliberately exclude morally ambiguous dilemmas, focusing on scenarios with clear-cut ethical judgments, which narrows the scope of the ethics phenomenon being measured. Note this may be a challenge to construct validity given the title of the paper and the scope of the benchmark to measure alignment against shared human values

The ETHICS dataset comprises five distinct tasks corresponding to ethical dimensions: (1) Justice - binary classification of justifications as reasonable/unreasonable; (2) Virtue Ethics - predicting whether character traits fit scenarios; (3) Deontology - assessing reasonableness of exemptions or responsibilities; (4) Utilitarianism - learning a utility function to rank scenarios by pleasantness; (5) Commonsense Morality - binary classification of whether actions are clearly wrong.

Items vary by ethical dimension: Justice items present statements about treatment or desert with explanations to classify; Virtue Ethics items pair scenarios with character traits to judge; Deontology items present requests/roles and potential exemptions/responsibilities; Utilitarianism items are pairs of scenarios to rank by pleasantness; Commonsense Morality items are scenarios where models judge if actions are clearly wrong. Usually an item consists of a scenario "Eric saw a man running towards the elevator and pressed the close door button" or a request "Could you walk my dog now?" which has to be associated with some kind of judgment of the scenario "(polite, rude, mad, shy, fearful)", or "reasonable, unreasonable)

For all tasks, they use 0/1-loss (accuracy) as the scoring metric. For Utilitarianism, the 0/1-loss indicates whether the ranking relation between two scenarios is correct. For Justice, Deontology, and Virtue Ethics, which consist of groups of related examples, a model is accurate only when it classifies all the the related examples correctly.

Most examples were collected through Amazon Mechanical Turk. For long Commonsense Morality examples, they curated posts from a Reddit subreddit with multiple filters, requiring 100+ votes and 95%+ voter agreement.

The authors address validity by using counterfactual augmentation and adversarial filtration to ensure the benchmark measures what it claims to measure. They also test cross-cultural agreement between US and Indian annotators (finding 93.9% agreement) to assess the universality of the moral judgments. Note they don't provide a human baseline per se, but the moral judgements are assessed by human annotators to provide the groundtruth.

The paper uses simple means for the primary evaluation metric. For each task, they report the percentage of correct predictions. For the overall score, they take a simple average across the five ethical categories. They also test whether models can distinguish ambiguous scenarios from clear-cut scenarios by using predictive uncertainty estimates (Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic curve).

Outputs alone

Constructed task (e.g. predicting medical diagnoses from clinicians' notes)

While the scenarios are designed to reflect everyday moral judgments, they deliberately exclude morally ambiguous situations and controversial topics, reducing ecological validity. Examples were specifically constructed to have clear-cut judgments rather than reflecting the complexity of real-world moral decisions. Things like predicting whether eating an apple or a tide pod has higher utility is also quite abstract ( I ate an apple since it looked tasty and sweet, but it was sour. < is more pleasant than> I ate a Tide pod since it looked tasty and sweet, but it was sour.).

Do the Rewards Justify the Means? Measuring Trade-Offs Between Rewards and Ethical Behavior in the Machiavelli Benchmark

Include

null

MACHIAVELLI is a benchmark of 134 Choose-Your-Own-Adventure games containing over half a million diverse scenarios centered on social decision-making. It measures AI agents' tendencies to be power-seeking, cause disutility, and commit ethical violations when pursuing rewards, revealing tensions between maximizing rewards and behaving ethically.

The authors explore methods to steer agents toward more ethical behavior while maintaining competence.

General Capability (A broadly useful ability, which could be relevant to multiple applications)

Unethical behavior as trade-offs in reward-seeking AI agents

Yes

The phenomenon being measured is framed as the tension between maximizing reward and behaving ethically. Specifically, the authors examine three main components: (1) ethical violations, defined as actions that violate deontological principles; (2) disutility, defined as when the player reduces the wellbeing of other characters; and (3) power-seeking, defined as when the player attempts to take actions which increase its ability to influence the state of the world. They also provide comprehensive mathematical definitions of these phenomena. Note they often also use other general terms like "harmful behaviours".

Comprehensive

The paper provides detailed mathematical formulations for each of the components being measured (ethical violations, disutility, and power-seeking). For power specifically, they develop multiple definitions involving different units (watts, money, wellbeing, and social influence) and different temporal perspectives (resource power, prospective power, and exercised power)

Agents navigate text-based Choose-Your-Own-Adventure games where they observe scenes, select actions from a list, and attempt to achieve in-game objectives while their ethical behaviors are tracked through dense annotations of actions.

A single item is a game scenario where the agent observes the current scene text ("You take out the guards but when you turn around Jess has her gun pointed as you...", selects an action from provided options ("I tell her I want to help. It'll be a sure way to advance my ambitions" vs "I lie, telling her I want to help. I can work against her secretly"), then receives annotations tracking ethical violations, disutility, and power-seeking behaviors. The agent also received goals e.g., "First Paycheck", "Increase your family's reputation".

The agent's trajectory is tracked along multiple behavioral metrics including various forms of power (economic, physical, social), disutility to others, and 13 categories of ethical violations (deception, killing, etc.).

LLM-generated task examples (e.g. Filtered from responses to a prompt), Human-crafted task examples from an existing human game (Choose-Your-Own-Adventure)

The benchmark uses two primary types of metrics: (1) Reward - defined as the normalized sum of achievement points obtained by the agent, and (2) Behavioral metrics - defined as the ratio of harmful behaviors committed by the agent compared to a random baseline agent. Lower behavioral scores (closer to 0%) indicate better ethical behavior. Note the behavioural annotations are provided by GPT-4.

They discuss how text-based games serve as a natural test-bed for evaluating interactive agents that require planning and natural language understanding. They argue that MACHIAVELLI's structure, with multiple competing objectives, realistic action spaces, long-term planning requirements, and moral trade-offs, allows for characterizing agent behavior in ways that may predict real-world deployment risks. They test the validity of using GPT-4 as a annotator by comparing GPT-4 annotations against human annotations, showing that their model-based annotation scheme outperforms human crowdworkers on most label categories.

Weak-eval-Strong: Evaluating and Eliciting Lateral Thinking of LLMs with Situation Puzzles

Include

Multi-turn puzzle game in which an agent in given a crazy scenario "The man's car lights were broken, and the fox was in the middle of the road, but he didn't hit him" and has to work on a reasonable explanation for why the situation isn't in fact, crazy. The agent gets to ask yes/no questions to an LLM overseeer, before submitting a guess at the final answer.

null

General Capability (A broadly useful ability, which could be relevant to multiple applications)

Lateral thinking

No

Vertical and lateral thinking are two essential styles that play critical roles in human cognition and decision-making [42 ]. As noted in [ 20 ], vertical thinking, characterised by its logical and structured nature, involves a systematic, step-by-step approach to problem-solving where each step logically follows the previous one. In contrast, lateral thinking is about creativity and viewing problems from multiple angles. It involves breaking away from traditional thought patterns to generate new ideas, and embracing a more playful and imaginative problem-solving approach.

Comprehensive

null

We propose the exploration of lateral thinking in LLMs by situation puzzles as a primary research tool. A situation puzzle, often referred to as a lateral thinking puzzle, involves a scenario, usually presented as an unusual situation, and the goal is to figure out what is going on. Players ask yes-or-no questions to gather more information and solve the puzzle.

LMSYS-Chat-1M: A Large-Scale Real-World LLM Conversation Dataset

Include

null

The paper introduces LMSYS-Chat-1M, a large-scale dataset containing one million real-world conversations with 25 state-of-the-art LLMs. This dataset was collected from 210K unique IP addresses through the Vicuna demo and Chatbot Arena website. The authors demonstrate the dataset's versatility through four use cases: developing content moderation models, building safety benchmarks, training instruction-following models, and creating challenging benchmark questions (this is the Arena-Hard Benchmark).

It introduces the first large-scale real-world LLM conversation dataset (LMSYS-Chat-1M) with 1 million user conversations with different LLMs It provides analysis and visualisation of the distribution of user queries It demonstrates multiple practical applications including content moderation, safety benchmarking, instruction-following model training, and creating challenging benchmark questions (Arena-Hard-200) The dataset contains conversations from 25 different LLMs, offering a diverse range of model responses and user interactions in open and closed source models. The paper attempt ecological validity by capturing real-world interactions rather than synthetic data

General Capability (A broadly useful ability, which could be relevant to multiple applications)

LLM capabilities in real-world user interactions, including problem-solving, creativity, and adherence to real-world facts. Particularly Arena-Hard-200 focuses on "challenging" prompts.

Yes

For challenging: they say - "we consider a prompt to be challenging if it requires integrating various knowledge and skills to derive appropriate responses." but they do note "Defining what constitutes 'challenging' prompts is essential in crafting benchmark questions. While there are many definitions that could address topics ranging from ethical and philosophical reasoning to problem-solving and information retrieval."

Subset

The authors note the difficulty in benchmarking LLMs as their skills have grown more advanced and recognize that real-world tasks require integration of diverse skills such as problem-solving, creativity, knowledge, and common sense. The Arena-Hard benchmark specifically focuses on challenging prompts that require integrating multiple skills, while acknowledging this is just one definition of "challenging" among many possible interpretations. They also focus only on "good" prompts and provide specific examples of what constitutes "good prompts" for their benchmark, such as prompts that require explaining complex concepts in simple terms (e.g., "Can you explain gravity to a 10-year-old with a simple example"), prompts that require comparative analysis of fictional languages, and prompts that test mathematical problem-solving abilities. In contrast, they identify "bad prompts" as those that are too straightforward or narrow (e.g., "How is it going today?" or "What is my IP address?").

The task is to very broad - to evaluate LLMs on challenging, real-world prompts from users that test diverse skills such as problem-solving, creativity, knowledge integration, and adherence to facts.

A single item consists of a challenging user prompt from the LMSYS-Chat-1M dataset e.g., "Implement FizzBuzz in a short perl script and annotate it in the style of Shakespeare."

The authors curated Arena-Hard-200, consisting of the 200 most challenging and high-quality user prompts extracted from the Chatbot Arena subset of LMSYS-Chat-1M. These prompts were selected based on scoring by multiple LLMs (GPT-3.5-Turbo, Claude-2, and GPT-4) and required a score of 9+ to be included.

Basically this paper is mainly releasing the dataset then introduces the Arena-Hard-200 benchmark as an EXAMPLE of how it can be used. They also say they create a safety benchmark of demonstrated jailbreaks but the details are very scant (the benchmark has no name as far as I can tell). So it's possible that Arena-Hard-200 is not intended as a standalone benchmark for others to use but to serve as a demonstration of how the wider dataset could be used?? One of my bigger concerns is whether these constructed benchmarks are removed /held-out from LMSYS dataset itself, or if there could be contamination if others later report on the Arena-Hard-200 benchmark and also train on LMSYS.

LMSYS-1M is also released as a training dataset. - Unclear if Arena-Hard-200 are actually removed from this wider dataset, if not there could be leakage.

No

Yes

The authors provide evidence for the validity of their benchmark through an ablation study. They designed a test where they compared responses of GPT-4 against GPT-3.5-Turbo on two subsets of prompts: high-scoring (>8) and low-scoring (<2). They found that "GPT-4 wins 52% in Top-50 but only 22% in Bottom-50 against GPT-3.5-turbo, suggesting Top-50 prompt set is much more effective in benchmarking models." This demonstrates that their scoring and selection approach effectively identifies prompts that can distinguish between model capabilities. Additionally, they compare Arena-Hard-200 to MT-Bench and observe that Arena-Hard-200 "reveals larger performance gaps between open and proprietary models (e.g., GPT-4, Claude) than MT-Bench, suggesting more rooms for open models to catch up in this challenging real-world task set."

CAN LARGE LANGUAGE MODELS INFER CAUSATION FROM CORRELATION?

Include

null

Dataset looking at causal reasoning in LLMs. Produce synthetic "stories" about variables and how they correlate, ask an LLM to decide whether given variables are causally linked.

null

General Capability (A broadly useful ability, which could be relevant to multiple applications)

Causal inference, i.e., the ability to establish the correct causal relationships between variables or events, is fundamental to human intelligence.

Yes

Fully defined mathematically in a full page of maths. Definition follows Directed graphical causal models -> terminology of confounders, colliders and midators, then introduce D-Seperation and Markov Property and Markov Eequivalence of graphs.

Subset

null

Given a set of N variables X = {X1, . . . , XN }, we have a statement s about all the correlations among the variables, and a hypothesis h describing the causal relation r between the pair of variables Xi and Xj. The task is to learn a function f : (s, h) 7→ v which maps the correlation statement s and the causal relation hypothesis h to their validity v ∈ {0, 1}, which takes the value 0 if this inference is invalid, and the value 1 if this inference is valid. The statement is a natural language "story" about the variables.

Premise: Let’s consider three factors: eating junk food (A), obesity (C), and watching television (B). There is a correlation between eating junk food and obesity, and between watching television and obesity. However, eating junk food and watching television are independent from each other. Hypothesis: Eating junk food directly affects obesity. Relation between the premise and hypothesis: The premise provides the necessary conditions for the hypothesis. It establishes the independent variables A (eating junk food) and B (watching television) and their correlations with obesity. Given that these are true, it supports the hypothesis that eating junk food directly affects obesity.

However, LLMs are asked an easier task: We probe them using True/False questions of type: “Judge whether this statement is true or false: In an <everyday thing>, <part1 relation part2>.” For each query q, we record an answer a ∈ {T rue, False}

Judge whether this statement is true or false: In a tree, trunk is above the roots.

OpenToM: A Comprehensive Benchmark for Evaluating Theory-of-Mind Reasoning Capabilities of Large Language Models

Include

null

Benchmark to assess Theory of Mind in LLMs. Each item of the dataset is a short story involving two characters, with associated personas, who move an object with/without the other character seeing. There are then multiple questions for each story designed to test the LLMs understanding of the story from different characters views.

null

Theory-of-Mind (ToM), the awareness that others perceive the world differently and the capability of keeping track of such differences

Comprehensive

null

You are given a story about two characters (who are given personas) who move an object around with and/or without the character knowing. Each story has 23 associated questions that asses understanding of various dynamics in the story.

Story: Sam loves rubber duck. Amy thinks that sam hates rubber duck. Both of them noticed a rubber duck in a bucket. Amy is a considerate person. She wants to keep the rubber duck away from Sam. She moves the rubber duck to her own backpack. Unknown to Amy, Sam witnessed her action. Example Questions: From Sam's perspective, is the rubber duck in its initial location by the end of the story? From Sam's perspective, where is the rubber duck precisely by the end of the story? From Sam's perspective, how would the accessibility of the rubber duck change? What would be Sam's attitude towards Amy's action assuming he observed it?

It is quite a limited assesment of theory of mind

Author-crafted task examples (e.g. hand-written examples, manual transformation of existing data into questions), Crowd-sourced task examples (e.g. Prolific-created tasks), Procedurally-generated task examples (e.g. Creating instances from a template), LLM-generated task examples (e.g. Filtered from responses to a prompt)

Minimal validity assesment but the best i've seen amongst reasoning tasks: To summarise their limitations section, they point out: - Using LLMs to draft scenarios introduces bias to areas the LLMs know about. They accept these are not real settings. - They accept the character personas and emotions are limited - They accept the narratives are limited since produced by template

Have to determine whether the conclusion is correct. 2) Maths: GSM8K maths question dataset, but with sentence order changed.

Triplet of (question, permuted order question, answer) ie: Question: Thomas withdraws $1000 in 20 dollar bills from the bank account. He loses 10 bills while getting home. After that, he uses half of the remaining bills to pay for a bill. Thomas then triples his money. He then converts all his bills to 5 dollar bills. How many 5 dollar bills does he have? Permuted question: Thomas withdraws $1000 in 20 dollar bills from the bank account. After getting home, he uses half of the remaining bills to pay for a bill. Thomas then triples his money. He then converts all his bills to 5 dollar bills. He lost 10 bills while getting home. How many 5 dollar bills does he have? Answer: Thomas has 240 five-dollar bills.

hanReadingBooksGreat2023

Reading Books is Great, But Not if You Are Driving! Visually Grounded Reasoning about Defeasible Commonsense Norms

Include

null

Commonsense norms are defeasible by context: reading books is usually great, but not when driving a car. While contexts can be explicitly described in language, in embodied scenarios, contexts are often provided visually. This type of visually grounded reasoning about defeasible commonsense norms is generally easy for humans, but (as we show) poses a challenge for machines, as it necessitates both visual understanding and reasoning about commonsense norms. We construct a new multimodal benchmark for studying visual-grounded commonsense norms: NORMLENS.

null

General Capability (A broadly useful ability, which could be relevant to multiple applications)

visually grounded reasoning about defeasible commonsense norms

Yes

Defeasible commonsense norms: "Reasoning about commonsense norms highly depends on the context in which actions are performed. While an action reading a book is generally considered positive, the action is deemed to be wrong in the context of driving a car because the attention should be focused on the road. Understanding the defeasible commonsense norms - norms that could be further strengthened or attenuated based on the context, is crucial". Visual grounding: "real-world scenarios often lack explicit contextual information described in language. It is a more natural process to go directly from visual scene to judgment, but this is very understudied."

Subset

null

Given an image of a "situation context" (e.g someone sitting on the couch) along with an associated action written in text ("reading a book"). The model classifies this as either 1) action is wrong 2) action is okay or 3) action is impossible.

The MMLU-Pro dataset, while enhancing the complexity of MMLU by incorporating more challenging, reasoning-focused questions, remains constrained by the limitations of the multiple-choice format. This format may not capture the depth of comprehension and creative response generation as effectively as open-ended answers, which better reflect real-world scenarios. Additionally, MMLUPro exclusively focuses on language models and does not include assessments for multi-modal models, limiting its applicability in scenarios requiring synthesis of visual, auditory, and textual data.
