用智能体框架评估大模型的文本创作全流程能力
RAVEL: Reasoning Agents for Validating and Evaluating LLM Text Synthesis
- 设计可自主规划与执行写作流程的智能体系统
- 14个模型在上下文理解任务中表现普遍不佳
- 推理能力强的模型能提升弱生成模型质量
大型语言模型已从单轮生成演变为具备长时程能力的智能体,能够应对复杂文本合成场景。然而,现有评估框架无法衡量实际的合成操作(如大纲构建、初稿撰写、审阅和润色),因而难以真实评估大模型的能力。为此,我们提出RAVEL,一种支持大模型测试者自主规划并执行典型合成操作的智能体框架,涵盖大纲、起草、评审和优化等步骤。同时,我们构建了包含1258个样本的C3EBench基准,数据源自专业人类写作。通过逆向工程管道,我们分离出四个任务中的特定能力:填空(Cloze)、编辑(Edit)、扩展(Expand)和端到端合成(End-to-End)。对14个大模型的分析表明,多数模型在指令不完整或信息不足的情境下,面临上下文理解挑战。当将最先进的大模型作为操作员增强RAVEL时,发现该智能体文本合成效果主要取决于模型的推理能力,而非单纯的生成能力。进一步发现,强推理模型可引导弱生成模型产出更高质量结果,但反之不成立。代码与数据已在GitHub公开。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Large Language Models have evolved from single-round generators into long-horizon agents, capable of complex text synthesis scenarios. However, current evaluation frameworks lack the ability to assess the actual synthesis operations, such as outlining, drafting, and editing. Consequently, they fail to evaluate the actual and detailed capabilities of LLMs. To bridge this gap, we introduce RAVEL, an agentic framework that enables the LLM testers to autonomously plan and execute typical synthesis operations, including outlining, drafting, reviewing, and refining. Complementing this framework, we present C3EBench, a comprehensive benchmark comprising 1,258 samples derived from professional human writings. We utilize a "reverse-engineering" pipeline to isolate specific capabilities across four tasks: Cloze, Edit, Expand, and End-to-End. Through our analysis of 14 LLMs, we uncover that most LLMs struggle with tasks that demand contextual understanding under limited or under-specified instructions. By augmenting RAVEL with SOTA LLMs as operators, we find that such agentic text synthesis is dominated by the LLM's reasoning capability rather than raw generative capacity. Furthermore, we find that a strong reasoner can guide a weaker generator to yield higher-quality results, whereas the inverse does not hold.
