让大模型学会答同义问题,提升问答一致性。
RoParQ: Paraphrase-Aware Alignment of Large Language Models Towards Robustness to Paraphrased Questions
- 用改写问题构建评测集,筛选出答案不一致的样本。
- 新指标显示微调后小模型一致性媲美大模型。
- 基于推理的微调策略增强模型对语义的理解能力。
大型语言模型在回答同义问题时表现不一致,反映出其依赖表层模式而非真正语义理解。为此,我们提出 RoParQ,一个专用于评估闭卷多选题中跨同义问题一致性的基准。该基准通过专有模型生成问题改写,并保留使裁判模型产生不一致置信度的样本。我们还提出 XParaCon 评估指标,通过计算不同问题变体下准确率的标准差来量化模型鲁棒性。此外,我们设计了一种基于推理的、面向同义改写的监督微调策略,旨在使模型向语义不变性对齐。实验表明,这种针对性对齐显著提升了模型鲁棒性。值得注意的是,微调后的轻量级模型在一致性上达到与更大预训练模型相当的水平。结果证明该方法有效缓解了表层记忆问题,推动更稳健、可靠的 LLM 发展。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Large Language Models (LLMs) often exhibit inconsistent behavior when answering paraphrased questions, suggesting a reliance on surface-level patterns rather than true semantic understanding. To address this limitation, we introduce RoParQ, a benchmark specifically constructed to evaluate cross-paraphrase consistency in closed-book multiple-choice QA. This benchmark is derived from standard datasets by generating paraphrases via proprietary models and selectively retaining examples that elicit inconsistent confidence from a judge model. We further propose XParaCon, a novel evaluation metric that quantifies a model's robustness by measuring the standard deviation of accuracies across question variants. Additionally, we implement a reasoning-based, paraphrase-aware Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) strategy designed to align models toward semantic invariance. Our experiments demonstrate that this targeted alignment significantly enhances robustness. Notably, fine-tuned lightweight models achieved consistency levels comparable to much larger pre-trained models. These results highlight the efficacy of our approach in mitigating superficial memorization and fostering more robust, reliable LLMs.
