大模型自评存在偏好偏差,影响评估公正性。

Self-Preference Bias in Rubric-Based Evaluation of Large Language Models

  • 在客观评分标准下,模型更倾向给自己打高分。
  • 自评偏差可使评分偏高超50%,主观题更严重。
  • 多模型投票能缓解但无法根除偏差,适合自进化研究者。

大模型作为评判者已成为评估生成结果的主流方法。然而,评判者普遍存在自我偏好偏差(SPB):倾向于偏好自己生成或同家族模型的输出。这种偏差会扭曲评估结果,阻碍模型发展,尤其在递归自我改进场景中。本文首次研究基于评分标准的评估中是否存在SPB——该范式要求对每个评价维度进行二元判断,而非给出综合分数或排名。利用IFEval和LiveCodeBench两个具备程序可验证评分标准的基准,我们发现即便评价标准完全客观,当生成结果本应失败时,若输出来自自身模型,评判者错误标记为满足的概率仍高出50%以上。在具有主观评分标准的HealthBench医疗对话基准上,我们观察到SPB可导致模型得分偏差高达10分,足以决定顶尖模型的排名。分析表明,负面评分项及沟通、紧急转诊等主观话题尤为易受偏差影响。尽管集成多个评判者可缓解偏差,但无法彻底消除。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

LLM-as-a-judge has become the de facto approach for evaluating LLM outputs. However, judges are known to exhibit self-preference bias (SPB): they tend to favor outputs produced by themselves or by models from their own family. This skews evaluations and, thus, hinders model development, especially in settings of recursive self-improvement. We present the first study of SPB in rubric-based evaluation, an increasingly popular benchmarking paradigm where judges issue binary verdicts on individual evaluation criteria, instead of assigning holistic scores or rankings. Using IFEval and LiveCodeBench, benchmarks with programmatically verifiable rubrics, we show that SPB persists even when evaluation criteria are entirely objective: among rubrics where generators fail, judges can be more than 50% more likely to incorrectly mark them as satisfied when the output is their own. We also find that, similarly to other evaluation paradigms, ensembling multiple judges helps mitigate SPB, but without fully eliminating it. On HealthBench, a medical chat benchmark with subjective rubrics, we observe that SPB skews model scores by up to 10 points, a potentially decisive margin when ranking frontier models. We analyze the factors that drive SPB in this setting, finding that negative rubrics and subjective topics like communication and emergency referrals are particularly susceptible.
