用同行评审机制选出多个大模型回答中最优解,提升问答准确率。
Scoring, Reasoning, and Selecting the Best! Ensembling Large Language Models via a Peer-Review Process
- 借鉴同行评审思想,用其他大模型评分候选答案。
- 在四个数据集上比先进模型Smoothie-Global高6.9%~7.3%。
- 方法透明可解释,适合需要可靠生成结果的研究场景。
我们提出LLM-PeerReview,一种无监督的大语言模型集成方法,通过从多个模型生成的候选回答中挑选最优解,利用各模型的互补优势。该方法基于新颖的同行评审框架,包含三个阶段:首先使用「大模型作为裁判」技术对每个回答进行评分;其次采用简单平均或基于图模型的真理推断算法聚合得分;最后选择得分最高的回答作为最终输出。该方法概念简洁、实证有效。在四个数据集上的实验表明,其两种变体分别超越先进模型Smoothie-Global 6.9%和7.3%,涵盖事实性问答、数学推理与指令遵循等多类任务。此外,我们构建了一个精心设计的基准套件,整合12种集成方法,覆盖4个经典数据集与3类任务,所有评估均遵循严格一致的协议,助力研究者复现基线结果。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
We propose LLM-PeerReview, an unsupervised LLM Ensemble method that selects the most ideal response from multiple LLM-generated candidates for each query, harnessing the collective wisdom of multiple models with diverse strengths. LLM-PeerReview is built on a novel, peer-review-inspired framework that offers a transparent and interpretable mechanism, while remaining fully unsupervised for flexible adaptability and generalization. Specifically, it operates in three stages: For scoring, we use the emerging LLM-as-a-Judge technique to evaluate each response by reusing multiple LLMs at hand; For reasoning, we can apply a straightforward averaging strategy or a principled graphical model-based truth inference algorithm to aggregate multiple scores to produce a final score for each response; Finally, the highest-scoring response is selected as the best ensemble output. LLM-PeerReview is conceptually simple and empirically powerful. Our results across four datasets show that the two variants of the proposed approach outperform the advanced model Smoothie-Global by 6.9% and 7.3% points, cross diverse task types including factual recall QA, math reasoning, and instruction following. Notably, we also establish a carefully curated benchmark suite for LLM Ensemble, integrating 12 methods across four classic datasets and three task families, all evaluated under a rigorous and consistent protocol. We hope this repository will help researchers reproduce the LLM Ensemble baselines.
