用树状结构评估大模型在多步变换中的一致性,无需依赖标注数据。

ConsistencyChecker: Tree-based Evaluation of LLM Generalization Capabilities

  • 构建可逆变换的树状框架,节点为文本状态,边为互逆操作。
  • 八种模型测试显示评分能区分性能差异,与WMT2024排名相关性超0.7。
  • 不依赖人工标注数据,适合评估模型在编程、翻译等任务中的泛化能力。

评估大语言模型(LLMs)的一致性对保障其可靠性至关重要,尤其在人机复杂多步交互中。传统自一致方法常忽略自然语言中的细微语义变化或代码/公式的功能偏移,这些偏差会随多次转换累积。为此,我们提出ConsistencyChecker,一种基于树的评估框架,通过一系列可逆变换(如机器翻译、AI辅助编程)衡量一致性。框架中,节点代表不同文本状态,边对应互逆操作对。动态与LLM生成的基准确保公平评估模型泛化能力,并避免基准泄露。一致性通过变换树中不同深度的相似性量化。在八个来自不同家族和规模的模型上实验表明,ConsistencyChecker可有效区分模型性能。值得注意的是,完全不使用WMT配对数据计算的一致性得分与WMT 2024自动排名的相关性高于0.7,验证了无基准方法的有效性。实现代码已公开:https://github.com/ulab-uiuc/consistencychecker。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Evaluating consistency in large language models (LLMs) is crucial for ensuring reliability, particularly in complex, multi-step interactions between humans and LLMs. Traditional self-consistency methods often miss subtle semantic changes in natural language and functional shifts in code or equations, which can accumulate over multiple transformations. To address this, we propose ConsistencyChecker, a tree-based evaluation framework designed to measure consistency through sequences of reversible transformations, including machine translation tasks and AI-assisted programming tasks. In our framework, nodes represent distinct text states, while edges correspond to pairs of inverse operations. Dynamic and LLM-generated benchmarks ensure a fair assessment of the model's generalization ability and eliminate benchmark leakage. Consistency is quantified based on similarity across different depths of the transformation tree. Experiments on eight models from various families and sizes show that ConsistencyChecker can distinguish the performance of different models. Notably, our consistency scores-computed entirely without using WMT paired data-correlate strongly (r > 0.7) with WMT 2024 auto-ranking, demonstrating the validity of our benchmark-free approach. Our implementation is available at: https://github.com/ulab-uiuc/consistencychecker.
