用改写提示词的方法,发现大模型靠套路得分而非真理解。

Forget What You Know about LLMs Evaluations -- LLMs are Like a Chameleon

  • 通过参数化重写题目,检测模型是否依赖固定模式
  • 26个模型平均降分2.15%,20个显著下降
  • 越大的模型越怕改写,高分模型更不靠谱

大型语言模型(LLMs)在公开基准测试中表现优异,但这些高分可能掩盖了对数据集特定表面线索的过度依赖,而非真正的语言理解。我们提出Chameleon Benchmark Overfit Detector(C-BOD),一种元评估框架,通过参数化变换系统性地扭曲基准测试提示,并检测模型的过拟合现象。该方法在保持语义和标签不变的前提下重写输入,揭示模型性能是否依赖于记忆化的模式。在MMLU基准上对26个领先模型进行评估,结果显示,在轻微扰动下平均性能下降2.15%,其中20个模型表现出统计显著差异。值得注意的是,基线准确率更高的模型在扰动下性能下降更明显,更大的模型也对重写更敏感,表明它们可能过度依赖固定提示模式。相比之下,Llama系列及基线准确率较低的模型未出现显著退化,暗示其对表面线索依赖较弱。此外,C-BOD具有数据集和模型无关性,可轻松集成到训练流程中,以促进更稳健的语言理解。研究呼吁学界超越排行榜分数,重视模型的鲁棒性和泛化能力。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Large language models (LLMs) often appear to excel on public benchmarks, but these high scores may mask an overreliance on dataset-specific surface cues rather than true language understanding. We introduce the Chameleon Benchmark Overfit Detector (C-BOD), a meta-evaluation framework that systematically distorts benchmark prompts via a parametric transformation and detects overfitting of LLMs. By rephrasing inputs while preserving their semantic content and labels, C-BOD exposes whether a model's performance is driven by memorized patterns. Evaluated on the MMLU benchmark using 26 leading LLMs, our method reveals an average performance degradation of 2.15% under modest perturbations, with 20 out of 26 models exhibiting statistically significant differences. Notably, models with higher baseline accuracy exhibit larger performance differences under perturbation, and larger LLMs tend to be more sensitive to rephrasings, indicating that both cases may overrely on fixed prompt patterns. In contrast, the Llama family and models with lower baseline accuracy show insignificant degradation, suggesting reduced dependency on superficial cues. Moreover, C-BOD's dataset- and model-agnostic design allows easy integration into training pipelines to promote more robust language understanding. Our findings challenge the community to look beyond leaderboard scores and prioritize resilience and generalization in LLM evaluation.
