检测大模型数据污染,发现现有方法存在局限和不一致。

Towards Data Contamination Detection for Modern Large Language Models: Limitations, Inconsistencies, and Oracle Challenges

  • 测试五种检测方法在八个挑战性数据集上的表现
  • 发现指令微调中答案增强引入的污染难被识别
  • 不同检测方法结果差异大,缺乏一致性

随着大语言模型性能不断提升,其表现究竟来自泛化能力还是数据记忆引发质疑。为此,学界提出了多种数据污染检测方法。然而,这些方法多基于传统基准和早期大模型验证,难以评估其在最新大模型与复杂基准上的有效性。为填补这一空白,我们对四种顶尖大模型在八个现代评测常用挑战性数据集上,评估了五种污染检测方法。结果表明:(1) 现有方法在假设与实际应用中存在显著局限;(2) 指令微调阶段通过答案增强引入的污染难以检测;(3) 顶级检测技术间结果一致性有限。这些发现凸显了先进大模型污染检测的复杂性,亟需更鲁棒、通用的评估方法。代码已公开于 https://github.com/vsamuel2003/data-contamination。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

As large language models achieve increasingly impressive results, questions arise about whether such performance is from generalizability or mere data memorization. Thus, numerous data contamination detection methods have been proposed. However, these approaches are often validated with traditional benchmarks and early-stage LLMs, leaving uncertainty about their effectiveness when evaluating state-of-the-art LLMs on the contamination of more challenging benchmarks. To address this gap and provide a dual investigation of SOTA LLM contamination status and detection method robustness, we evaluate five contamination detection approaches with four state-of-the-art LLMs across eight challenging datasets often used in modern LLM evaluation. Our analysis reveals that (1) Current methods have non-trivial limitations in their assumptions and practical applications; (2) Notable difficulties exist in detecting contamination introduced during instruction fine-tuning with answer augmentation; and (3) Limited consistencies between SOTA contamination detection techniques. These findings highlight the complexity of contamination detection in advanced LLMs and the urgent need for further research on robust and generalizable contamination evaluation. Our code is available at https://github.com/vsamuel2003/data-contamination.
