Large Language Models (LLMs) are evaluated and improved through the CRITICBENCH benchmark, revealing insights into their critique-correct reasoning abilities.
Résumé
CRITICBENCH assesses LLMs' critique and correction skills across mathematical, commonsense, symbolic, coding, and algorithmic tasks. Findings show a linear relationship in GQC capabilities, task-dependent variation in critique and correction effectiveness, knowledge inconsistencies decreasing with model size increase, and inter-model critiquing patterns. The study highlights the importance of evaluating generation, critique, and correction collectively for a comprehensive assessment of LLMs. Results indicate that models excel in logic-focused tasks compared to detail-oriented ones. Additionally, weaker models can sometimes outperform stronger ones in self-critique.
Stats
