用四个维度评估检索相关性,让大模型更准判断文本是否相关。

Best in Tau@LLMJudge: Criteria-Based Relevance Evaluation with Llama3

  • 将相关性拆解为精确度、覆盖度等四维度评分
  • 在LLMJudge挑战中达成最高肯德尔等级相关系数
  • 适合需要自动化评测的检索系统研发者

传统信息检索评估依赖人工标注的相关性标签,成本高且易有偏。本文探索直接用大语言模型(LLM)为查询与文档对生成相关性标签的新方法。提出两个假设:第一,将相关性分解为精确度、覆盖度、主题一致性和上下文契合度四个具体标准,通过提示大模型对每项打分,并采用不同聚合方式生成最终相关性标签;第二,查询与文档语言风格差异会影响判断,因此先将文档改写为与查询风格一致的摘要再进行评估。基于2024年夏季举行的LLMJudge挑战数据,所提出的“四提示”方法在肯德尔等级相关系数(Kendall's tau)上表现最佳。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Traditional evaluation of information retrieval (IR) systems relies on human-annotated relevance labels, which can be both biased and costly at scale. In this context, large language models (LLMs) offer an alternative by allowing us to directly prompt them to assign relevance labels for passages associated with each query. In this study, we explore alternative methods to directly prompt LLMs for assigned relevance labels, by exploring two hypotheses: Hypothesis 1 assumes that it is helpful to break down "relevance" into specific criteria - exactness, coverage, topicality, and contextual fit. We explore different approaches that prompt large language models (LLMs) to obtain criteria-level grades for all passages, and we consider various ways to aggregate criteria-level grades into a relevance label. Hypothesis 2 assumes that differences in linguistic style between queries and passages may negatively impact the automatic relevance label prediction. We explore whether improvements can be achieved by first synthesizing a summary of the passage in the linguistic style of a query, and then using this summary in place of the passage to assess its relevance. We include an empirical evaluation of our approaches based on data from the LLMJudge challenge run in Summer 2024, where our "Four Prompts" approach obtained the highest scores in Kendall's tau.
