Streszczenie
The paper introduces FreeEval, a modular and extensible framework for trustworthy and efficient automatic evaluation of Large Language Models (LLMs). The key features of FreeEval are:
-
Modular Design:
- FreeEval provides a unified abstraction and modular implementation of various evaluation methods, including dataset-based, reference-based, and LLM-based evaluators.
- The modular design allows for easy integration of new evaluation protocols and improves transparency by making all evaluation settings and details openly accessible to users.
-
Trustworthy Evaluation:
- FreeEval incorporates meta-evaluation modules, such as data contamination detection, human evaluation, bias evaluation, and visualization tools, to ensure the reliability and fairness of evaluation results.
- These meta-evaluation components help mitigate the risks of overfitting and provide interpretability in the evaluation process.
-
Efficient Inference Backends:
- FreeEval's high-performance inference backends support both open-source and proprietary LLMs, providing researchers with flexibility in choosing the models to evaluate.
- The backends leverage distributed and concurrent inference with load balancing and caching mechanisms to efficiently handle large-scale evaluations, reducing computational costs and inference time.
The modular design, trustworthy evaluation, and efficient inference backends of FreeEval aim to address the challenges of standardization, reliability, and efficiency in LLM evaluation, contributing to the development of more robust and trustworthy language models.
