构建跨语言自动评估框架,提升多语言大模型评测能力。

Cross-Lingual Auto Evaluation for Assessing Multilingual LLMs

  • 用英文参考答案训练跨语言评分模型,解决目标语言无参考答案难题。
  • 在六种语言上测试,模型评分与人工判断相关性更高。
  • 适合关注多语言模型评测、低资源语言研究的研究者使用。

自然语言生成的评估仍是NLP领域的重要挑战,尤其在非英语语言中更为突出。现有方法(自动化指标、人工评估、基于大模型的评估)主要针对英语,暴露出多语言评估体系的显著空白。本文提出跨语言自动评估(CIA)套件,包含可扩展的评估模型Hercule和专为多语言设计的新测试集Recon。Recon包含500条人工标注指令,覆盖多种任务能力,并提供六种语言的人工评分。该测试集可用于通用多语言大模型的基准测试,也可用于评估器大模型的元评估。Hercule模型通过学习英文参考答案来为多语言输出打分,解决了目标语言缺乏参考答案的问题。实验表明,Hercule在多个语言上的评分更贴近人工判断,尤其在低资源场景下表现优异;且在未见过的语言上仍能实现零样本评估。本研究是首个系统性探索基于大模型的跨语言评估工作,提出了可扩展、高效的多语言评估方案。所有代码、数据集与模型将公开,以推动该领域研究。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Evaluating machine-generated text remains a significant challenge in NLP, especially for non-English languages. Current methodologies, including automated metrics, human assessments, and LLM-based evaluations, predominantly focus on English, revealing a significant gap in multilingual evaluation frameworks. We introduce the Cross Lingual Auto Evaluation (CIA) Suite, an extensible framework that includes evaluator LLMs (Hercule) and a novel test set (Recon) specifically designed for multilingual evaluation. Our test set features 500 human-annotated instructions spanning various task capabilities along with human judgment scores across six languages. This would enable benchmarking of general-purpose multilingual LLMs and facilitate meta-evaluation of Evaluator LLMs. The proposed model, Hercule, is a cross-lingual evaluation model that addresses the scarcity of reference answers in the target language by learning to assign scores to responses based on easily available reference answers in English. Our experiments demonstrate that Hercule aligns more closely with human judgments compared to proprietary models, demonstrating the effectiveness of such cross-lingual evaluation in low resource scenarios. Further, it is also effective in zero-shot evaluation on unseen languages. This study is the first comprehensive examination of cross-lingual evaluation using LLMs, presenting a scalable and effective approach for multilingual assessment. All code, datasets, and models will be publicly available to enable further research in this important area.
