Benchmarks for Fine-tuned (Human Preference Aligned) Models

Caveats

보통 pretrained model을 평가하기 위해 EleutherAI/lm-evaluation-harness project를 많이 쓰곤 한다. 필자가 알기로는 generative task들이 아니라 pretrained model의 knowledge를 평가하기 위해 많이 쓰이는데, multiple choice task등에서 accuracy를 평가할 때 어떤 codebase나 template을 쓰느냐에 따라서 결과가 달라질 수 있기 때문에 다른 model들과 평가할 때 항상 이 점에 주의해야 한다. 예를 들어 eval-harness에는 multiple choice를 위한 metric으로 accuracy (acc), normalized accuracy (acc_norm) 두 가지가 report되는데, 이는 같은 multiple choice task인 MMLU와는 차이가 있다. MMLU는 주어진 context에 4개의 choices, A, B, C, D까지 이어붙혀 model이 최종적으로 “A”라고 답하는지만 보고 이를 parsing한다. 따라서 논란의 여지없이 accuracy만 보면 되지만 Hellaswag는 다르다. Hellaswag는 context만 주어지고 나머지 문장을 완성해야 하는 task이기 때문에 context에 각 choice, A, B, C, D의 답변을 각각 이어붙혀서 정답 token들에 대한 log likelihood를 측정하여 확률이 가장 높은 것을 답으로 한다 (e.g. A). 그런데 이 경우는 정답인 A답변이 100 token이고, 정답이 아닌 B답변이 20 token이라면 A가 정답임에도 불구하고 log likelihood는 언제나 0보다 작은 값이기에 더해질수록 확률이 낮아진다. 이 경우 length로 normalization을 해줘야 하는 것은 자연스러운 발상이고, 이는 beam search등에서도 더 나은 beam을 고를 때도 흔히 쓰이는 technique이다 (본래 length penalty라고 하는데 length debias, length normalization 등 다 같은말이다).

\[\frac{\log p(y \vert x)}{\vert y \vert} = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^N \log p(y_i \vert v_{i-1}, x) }{\vert y \vert}\]

여기서 당연히 log likelihood의 sum은 정답 token probability의 product, \(\prod\), 즉 joint probability에 log를 씌운 값으로 해당 문장을 뱉을 확률을 얘기한다.

그런데 이 normalization을 하는 기준이 codebase마다 다를 수 있다는 점에 유의해야 한다. 사실 length normalization 자체는 당연한 발상이며 이렇게 해야만 앞서 얘기한 문장에 대한 probability의 불공평과 tokenizer에 따라 주어진 문장을 어떻게 쪼개는지에 대한 불공정을 해소될 것 같지만, length normalization을 byte level로 할것인지 token level로 할 것인지 등등에 대해서 consensus가 있는 것 같지 않고, 어느 한 쪽이 항상 잘 점수가 나오는 것이 아니기 때문에 본인들이 유리한 방향으로 report하는 경우도 있기 때문에 그렇다.

결국 공개된 model마다 normalized accuracy를 쟀다고 명시를 하고 어떤 paper는 안하기 때문에 직접 재봐야 하는 수 밖에 없는데, open model들의 재평가를 할 시 precision을 잘못 설정하거나, code bug 등의 여러 이유로 model 평가가 불공정해질 수 있기 때문에 이 부분은 항상 주의해야 한다고 얘기하고 싶다.
