Creating Unbiased Benchmarks for Model Evaluation

The importance of creating unbiased benchmarks for model evaluation is highlighted in this discussion. The live benches are designed to limit potential contamination in the evaluation process by introducing new questions monthly, based on recent data sets, papers, news articles, and movie synopses. Each question comes with verifiable objective ground truth answers, enabling accurate and automatic scoring. By offering a diverse range of tasks across multiple categories and continually releasing harder tasks over time, these benchmarks aim to provide a fair representation of the capabilities of language models. This approach contrasts with the bias found in some benchmarks that use the best model, GPT-4, to judge other models, leading to a skewed evaluation. The leaderboard reflects the current performance of language models, showcasing GPT-4 and other top-performing models, providing insights into their abilities and potentials for improvement.
