Real-Time Visual Feedback to Guide Benchmark Creation: A Human-and-Metric-in-the-Loop Workflow (2023.eacl-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Recent research has shown that language models exploit ‘artifacts’ in benchmarks to solve tasks, rather than learning them, leading to inflated model performance. |
| Approach: | They propose a benchmark creation paradigm for NLP that focuses on guiding crowdworkers and provides realtime visual feedback to improve sample quality. |
| Outcome: | The proposed paradigm decreases effort, frustration, mental, and temporal demands of crowdworkers and analysts, while increasing the performance of both user groups. |

| Challenge: | a benchmark of 1,616 diverse NLP tasks and their expert-written instructions is used to test generalization of models to unseen tasks . a recent study shows that instruction-following models outperform instruction-based models by over 9% . |
| Approach: | They build a benchmark of 1,616 diverse NLP tasks and their expert-written instructions. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms existing instruction-following models by over 9% on the benchmark despite being smaller. |
