Challenge: Evaluations in machine learning rarely use the latest metrics, datasets, or human evaluation in favor of remaining compatible with prior work.
Approach: They propose to use the Generation, Evaluation, and Metrics Benchmark to integrate new evaluation methods into existing evaluations.
Outcome: The proposed evaluation infrastructure bridges the gap between the advantages of leaderboards and in-depth and evolving evaluations by allowing model developers to benefit from each other's work.
