- 基于大模型的自动编辑框架,按预算控制质量提升
- 在覆盖度、难度平衡等指标上逼近专家制作的数据集
- 适合需要高质量评测数据的研究者和开发者
高质量问答数据集是可靠大语言模型评估的基础,但即使由专家构建的数据仍存在领域覆盖不足、难度分布错位和事实不一致等问题。近年来生成式模型催生的海量数据进一步加剧了质量挑战。本文提出RefineLab,首个由大模型驱动的自动优化框架,可在可控的词元预算内将原始问答文本转化为高质量数据集。RefineLab以覆盖度、难度均衡等为目标,通过选择性编辑(如重述、干扰项替换)在预算约束下最大化整体质量。其分配模块决定每条样本应执行何种操作,解决受资源限制的优化问题。实验表明,RefineLab在覆盖度、难度对齐、事实一致性与干扰项质量等方面均显著缩小与专家数据集的差距。该工作为可复现、可定制的大规模数据集设计提供了可扩展路径,对大模型评估具有广泛意义。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
High-quality Question-Answer (QA) datasets are foundational for reliable Large Language Model (LLM) evaluation, yet even expert-crafted datasets exhibit persistent gaps in domain coverage, misaligned difficulty distributions, and factual inconsistencies. The recent surge in generative model-powered datasets has compounded these quality challenges. In this work, we introduce RefineLab, the first LLM-driven framework that automatically refines raw QA textual data into high-quality datasets under a controllable token-budget constraint. RefineLab takes a set of target quality attributes (such as coverage and difficulty balance) as refinement objectives, and performs selective edits within a predefined token budget to ensure practicality and efficiency. In essence, RefineLab addresses a constrained optimization problem: improving the quality of QA samples as much as possible while respecting resource limitations. With a set of available refinement operations (e.g., rephrasing, distractor replacement), RefineLab takes as input the original dataset, a specified set of target quality dimensions, and a token budget, and determines which refinement operations should be applied to each QA sample. This process is guided by an assignment module that selects optimal refinement strategies to maximize overall dataset quality while adhering to the budget constraint. Experiments demonstrate that RefineLab consistently narrows divergence from expert datasets across coverage, difficulty alignment, factual fidelity, and distractor quality. RefineLab pioneers a scalable, customizable path to reproducible dataset design, with broad implications for LLM evaluation.
