对比双向与单向模型,发现双向更擅长记忆真实知识。

Bidirectional LMs are Better Knowledge Memorizers? A Benchmark for Real-world Knowledge Injection

  • 用维基百科新增条目构建动态知识测试集
  • 双向模型比单向模型知识记忆准确率高23%
  • 通过双向模型集成提升大模型知识可靠性

尽管大型语言模型(LLMs)发展迅速,其知识记忆能力仍缺乏系统评估。本文提出新基准WikiDYK,基于维基百科'你知道吗'栏目中由编辑精选的最新真实事实,自动构建涵盖从简单填空到多跳问答的77,180个问题,共包含12,290条知识。实验表明,尽管因果语言模型(CLMs)在当前主流模型中占主导,其知识记忆准确率比双向语言模型(BiLMs)低23%。为弥补现有BiLM规模较小的问题,我们提出一种模块化协作框架,利用多个BiLM作为外部知识库与大模型结合,实验显示该方法可将知识可靠性准确率提升最高达29.1%。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Despite significant advances in large language models (LLMs), their knowledge memorization capabilities remain underexplored, due to the lack of standardized and high-quality test ground. In this paper, we introduce a novel, real-world and large-scale knowledge injection benchmark that evolves continuously over time without requiring human intervention. Specifically, we propose WikiDYK, which leverages recently-added and human-written facts from Wikipedia's "Did You Know..." entries. These entries are carefully selected by expert Wikipedia editors based on criteria such as verifiability and clarity. Each entry is converted into multiple question-answer pairs spanning diverse task formats from easy cloze prompts to complex multi-hop questions. WikiDYK contains 12,290 facts and 77,180 questions, which is also seamlessly extensible with future updates from Wikipedia editors. Extensive experiments using continued pre-training reveal a surprising insight: despite their prevalence in modern LLMs, Causal Language Models (CLMs) demonstrate significantly weaker knowledge memorization capabilities compared to Bidirectional Language Models (BiLMs), exhibiting a 23% lower accuracy in terms of reliability. To compensate for the smaller scales of current BiLMs, we introduce a modular collaborative framework utilizing ensembles of BiLMs as external knowledge repositories to integrate with LLMs. Experiment shows that our framework further improves the reliability accuracy by up to 29.1%.
