首个评估大模型自动评价网页智能体轨迹的基准,揭示现有方法局限性。
AgentRewardBench: Evaluating Automatic Evaluations of Web Agent Trajectories
- 构建包含1302条轨迹的基准,由专家标注任务成功率等指标
- 发现无单一大模型在所有任务上表现最优,且规则评估常低估成功率
- 适合研究自动评估、智能体评测或大模型应用的开发者参考
网页智能体通过自然语言与浏览器交互完成任务。评估其行为轨迹至关重要,但传统规则方法难以拓展且可能误判成功轨迹。人工评估虽准确但成本高。利用大模型进行自动评估可规避规则设计和标注成本,但其实际效果尚不明确。为此,我们提出AgentRewardBench,首个用于评估大模型裁判在网页智能体轨迹评价中有效性的基准。该基准涵盖5个主流基准、4种大模型生成的1302条轨迹,每条均由专家回答关于任务成功、副作用和重复性的问题。我们评估了12个大模型裁判,发现无一在所有任务上表现最佳。同时,常见基准中的规则评估系统普遍低估智能体成功率,暴露其局限性,凸显发展更灵活自动评估方法的必要性。基准已开源:https://agent-reward-bench.github.io
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Web agents enable users to perform tasks on web browsers through natural language interaction. Evaluating web agents trajectories is an important problem, since it helps us determine whether the agent successfully completed the tasks. Rule-based methods are widely used for this purpose, but they are challenging to extend to new tasks and may not always recognize successful trajectories. We may achieve higher accuracy through human evaluation, but the process would be substantially slower and more expensive. Automatic evaluations with LLMs may avoid the challenges of designing new rules and manually annotating trajectories, enabling faster and cost-effective evaluation. However, it is unclear how effective they are at evaluating web agents. To this end, we propose AgentRewardBench, the first benchmark to assess the effectiveness of LLM judges for evaluating web agents. AgentRewardBench contains 1302 trajectories across 5 benchmarks and 4 LLMs. Each trajectory in AgentRewardBench is reviewed by an expert, who answers questions pertaining to the success, side effects, and repetitiveness of the agent. Using our benchmark, we evaluate 12 LLM judges and find that no single LLM excels across all benchmarks. We also find that the rule-based evaluation used by common benchmarks tends to underreport the success rate of web agents, highlighting a key weakness of rule-based evaluation and the need to develop more flexible automatic evaluations. We release the benchmark at: https://agent-reward-bench.github.io
