TL;DR: We introduce fine-grained language model evaluation based on alignment skill sets to measure the performance of various LLMs.

Abstract: Evaluation of Large Language Models (LLMs) is challenging because instruction-following necessitates alignment with human values and the required set of skills varies depending on the instruction. However, previous studies have mainly focused on coarse-grained evaluation (i.e. overall preference-based evaluation), which limits interpretability since it does not consider the nature of user instructions that require instance-wise skill composition. In this paper, we introduce FLASK (Fine-grained Language Model Evaluation based on Alignment Skill Sets), a fine-grained evaluation protocol for both human-based and model-based evaluation which decomposes coarse-level scoring to a skill set-level scoring for each instruction. We experimentally observe that the fine-graininess of evaluation is crucial for attaining a holistic view of model performance and increasing the reliability of the evaluation. Using FLASK, we compare multiple open-source and proprietary LLMs and observe a high correlation between model-based and human-based evaluations.

ABSTRACT
Evaluation of Large Language Models (LLMs) challenging because instruction- following necessitates alignment with human values and the required set of skills varies depending on the instruction. However, previous studies have mainly fo- cused on coarse-grained evaluation (i.e. overall preference-based evaluation), which limits interpretability since it does not consider the nature of user instruc- tions that require instance-wise skill composition. In this paper, we introduce FLASK (Fine-grained Language Model Evaluation based on Alignment SKill Sets), a fine ane-grained evaluation protocol for both human-base based and model- based evaluation which decomposes coarse-level scoring to a skill set-level scoring for each instruction. We experimentally observe that the ane-graininess of evaluation is crucial for attaining a holistic view of model performance and increasing the reliability of the evaluation. Using FLASK, we compare multiple open-source and proprictary LLMs and observe high correlation between model-based and numan--aseed evaluation
INTRODUCTION
Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown impressive capability of following user instructions by aligning to human values, such as responding a helpful, honest, and harmless manner (Ouyang
eet al., 2022 Bai al. 2022a b; Kim et al. 2023c Korbak al. 2023 Askell et al.] 2021). In particular, techniques such as instruction tuning or reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) have significantly improved this ability by fine-tuning pretrained LLM diverse tasks or user preferences (Ouyang et al. 2022: Chung et al.) 2022 Wang et al. 2022b). However, evaluating the alignment of L.LMs to human values is challenging for reasons. First, open-ended user instructions usually require a composition of multiple abilities, which makes measurement with single metric insufficient. Second, since these instructions are task-agnostic, the required abilities often vary from one instance to another, making it impractical to use a fixed set of metrics.
Currently, the evaluation of LLMs primarily relies on multiple independent benchmarks using au- tomatic metrics (accuracy, ROUGE, etc.) or overall scoring to the model response based on human or model-based preference (Longpre et al., 2023a] Wang et al. 2023b Ouyang et al. 2022 Zheng et al.) (023). However, both evaluation settings are insufficient. Benchmarks that adopt multiple metries are not scalable since each of them targets different skills, domains, and difficulties such as
GSM8K (Cobbe et al.) 2021) for logical correctness, and TruthfulQA (Lin et al.) 2022) for truth- fulness. Also, relying on these automatic metrics limits interpretability and reliability because only task-wise analysis is possible and automatic metrics sensitive to surface forms (Krishna al. 2021 Moreover, merely assigning a single score based on preferences does not tell the whole story because there could be multiple axes to evaluate the response, such as completeness, factuality, etc. Instead, we need to evaluate the model's performance using fine- fine-grained criteria to comprehend the model from various perspectives. Although many recent works have studied multi-metric or fine- grained evaluation of LLMs, they mainly focus on a fixed metric set across instances for specific tasks, which is not applicable the lask-agnostic evaluation setting for LLM alignment (Liu al.

Figure 1: (a) Skill-agnostic evaluation gives single overall score for the model response, which limits inter- pretability. (b) Fine-graa gree-graied evaluation of FLASK first annotates fine-grained metadata for each instruction and conducts evaluation by assigning a score to each skill based on skill-specific or instance-specific score rubrics.
To address the limitations of current evaluation settings, we propose FLASK (Fine-grained) Language Model Evaluation based on Alignment SKill Sets), a novel evaluation protocol that adopts fine-grained scoring setup, enabling task-agnostic skill evaluation aligned with the provided in- structions. We define 4 primary abilities which are divided into 12 fine-grained skills for compre- hensive language model evaluation: Logical Thinking (Logical Correctness, Logical Robust- ness, Logical Efficiency), Background Knowledge (Factuality, Commonsense Understanding), Problem Hand handl i ng (Comprehension, Insightfulness, Completeness, Metacognition), and User Al Alignment (Conciseness, Readability, Harmlessness). First, we collect total of 1. 1,740 evaluation instances from various NI.P datasets and annotate the relevant set of skills (a skill ser), domains, and the difficulty level for each instance. Then, evaluators assign scores ranging from I to 5 for each annotated skill based on the reference answer and skill-specific scoring rubrics, where the evaluators could be human evaluators difficult (FLASK HARD), we additionally introduce adopting even a more fine-grat rreeggriied evaluation by using instance-specific rubrics. The overall illustration shown in Figure 1

By applying FLASS, we compare and analyze various open-source and proprietary L.Ms depend- ing on the skill set, target domain, and difficulty. We conduct both human-based and model-based evaluations and observe that their results are highly correlated. We experimentally observe that applying fine-grained evaluation not only leads better interpretability but also better reliability, increasing the correlation between human and model evaluation and mitigating the bias of model- based evaluation. Also, by conducting extensive analysis based on automatic model-based evalua- tion, we present several findings:
We observe that current open-source LLMs significantly underperform proprietary LLMs for Logical Thinking and Background Knowledge abilities.
We observe that some skills such as Logical Correctness and Logical Efficiency require larger model sizes effectively acquire them compared to other skills.
We show that even state-of-the-an proprietary LLMs struggle FLASK-HARD set, up 50% performance degradation for some skills compared to the whole FLASK evaluation set.
We suggest that comprehensive analysis of LLMs through fine-grained evaluation is important and practical for both the developers and practitioners. For model developers, FLASK facilitates ac- curate interpretation of the model's current state, providing clear guidance for improving model alignment. For practitioners, FLASK's fine-grained comparison of different LLMs helps recom- mend suitable models for specific situations.

3 FLASK: FINE-GRAINED LANGUAGE MODEL EVALUATION PROTOCOL
We introduce FLASK, a fine- aine-graieed skill set-based evaluation protocol for assessing the alignment of language models. We define 4 primary abilities, divided into 12 skills, that are necessary to follow user instructions a desirable manner (Section [3.]. We specify the process of the evaluation dataset construction (Section 3.2) and the evaluation process (Section 3.3) Additionally, for a challenging scenario, we introduce FLASK-HARD (Section[.44) The illustration of the overall process is shown in Figure 2T in the Appendix. We emphasize that applying instance-wise multi-metric evaluation is what mainly distinguishes our work from previous evaluation settings, enabling task tagn-agm evaluation. In this work, consider two types of evaluators: human evaluators and EVAL LM, one of the state-of-the-art LLMs used for evaluation.
3.1 SKILL SET CATEGORIZATION
Building on previous research in language model evaluation. (Sugawara & Aizawa 2016 Sugawara ct al.) 2017 Radziwill & Benton Schhleel et al. 2020; Rogers et al. 2021). we aim to develop comprehensive taxonomy for assessing the performance of LLMs. This taxonomy is designed as a systematic framework to categorize the essential skills for understanding and responding to a wide range of single-turn English instructions. Based on the skill categorization of Rogers et al. (2021) which was specifically proposed for question answering and reading comprehension, we recategorize skills suitable for LLM alignment. Our proposed categorization includes four primary abilities, each of which is further divided into 2-4 skills, resulting in total of 12 skills:
Logical Thinking refers to the ability to apply reasoning, critical thinking, and deductive skills when processing and responding to instructions. In order to do so, models should generate a logically correct final answer (LOGICAL CORRECTNESS) while preserving generalizability during the step-by-ske logical process without any contradiction (LOGICAL ROBUSTNESS). Also, the logical process should be efficient and not contain any unnecessary steps (LOGICAL EFFICIENCY).
Background Knowledge comprises the capacity to generate responses by accessing a broad repository of general and domain-specific information. This ability requires the model provide

accurate and contextually relevant responses to instructions requiring factual (FACTUALITY) or commonsense knowledge (COMMONSENSE UNDERSTANDING).
Problem Handling pertains to the proficiency in addressing challenges that emerge while processing and responding user instructions. This category encompasses the capacity to under- stand the implicit and explicit purpose and requirements of the instruction (COMPREHENSION), develop creative perspectives or interpretations of the instruction (INIIGHFFULNNESS) handle the instruction by providing in-depth and in in-breadth information (COMPLETENESS), and be aware of its own capability to answer the instruction (METACOGNITION)
User Alignment represents the ability to empathize with the user and align its responses the user's intentions, preferences, and expectations. This category encompasses the model's ability to structure the answer to promote the users' readability (READABILITY), presenting concise re- sponse for the reader without unnecessary information (CONCISENESS), and considering potential risks to user safety (HARMLESSNESS).
We ensure that each skill offers a wide range of criteria for a holistic evaluation of various LLMs. We provide the specific definition for each skill in Table in the Appendix.
3.2 EVALUATION DATA CONSTRUCTION
The process of constructing the evaluation data involves several steps, 1) collecting input-output pairs from various datasets, 2) modifying the collected instances, and 3) filtering based on length criteria, resulting in total of 1,740 instances sourced from 122 datasets. We first collect input (instruction) and output (reference answer) pairs from various English NLP datasets, both multi- task datasets (e.g. MMLU (Hendrycks al. 2020)) and single-task datasets (e.g. GSMSK (Cobbe et al., 2021)). For single-task datasets, we restrict them to account for at most 20 instances per dataset for diversity, After collection, we modify the instances by manually writing instructions for datasets that do not include instructions. I Lastly, we remove instances where the input length exceeds 2048. More details including the list of source datasets are provided in Appendix [
For each evaluation instance, we annotate the metadata which consists of 1) the essential skills to follow the instruction, 2) target domains, and 3) the difficulty level the instructions. We first validate that human labelers and EVAL LM have a high correlation for the metadata annotation on a subset of 200 instances. We have observed a 95.22% acceptance rate for skill annotation, an 81.32% acceptance rate for domain annotation, and a Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.774 for difficulty annotation. Since the model-hased annotation has acceptable noise and high correlation to human labelers, we utilize the EVAL LM for metadata annotation reduce the burden of human annotations. We provide more details on validating the annotation of EVAL LM in Appendix G.2
For the selection of necessary skills, the EVAL LM selects the top-3 essential skills required fol- low the instructions for each instance, from the 12 skills defined in Section 3. We achieve this by providing the EVAL LM with the instruction, reference answer, and descriptions of all 12 skills. For domain annotation, we identify 10 domains: Humanities, Language, Culture, Health, History, Natural Science, Math, Social Science, Technology, and Coding by modifying the Wikipedia cate- gorization of Reid et al. (2022). Lastly, for difficulty level annotation, we divide the difficulty level into levels based on the extent of required domain knowledge by referencing Webb's depth of knowledge (Webb 1997: 1999) and NIH proficiency scale]) simple lifestyle knowledge, advanced lifestyle knowledge, formal education knowledge, major-level knowledge, and expert-level knowl- edge where we map each level into a level from to 5. Details of the metadata annotation process are provided in Appendix and the statistics of the evaluation dataset are provided in Appendix
3.3 EVALUATION PROCESS
Utilizing the annotated metadata for each instance, we evaluate and analyze the target model re- sponse in fine ane-ggrined manner. Evaluators, either human annotators EVAL LM, given the evaluation instruction, reference answer, response of the target model, and pre-defined score rubric for each selected skill from Section 3.2 The evaluators assess the target model's response by signing scores ranging from 5, following skill-specific scoring rubrics, which include detailed

descriptions for each score. For model-based evaluation, enforce the EVAL LM to generate a rationale before assigning a score, inspired by the effectiveness of CoT prompting (Wei et al. 2022b) for the evaluation of LLMs (Liu et al., 2023). Once the evaluators have scored each skill of the instance, we aggregate the scores based on the skill, domain, and difficulty level for fine-grained analysis. This analysis allows for an in-depth understanding of how the target model performs across various metadata compositions, The illustration of the evaluation process and the score rubric for each skill provided in Figure I and Appendix K.I
3.4 FLASK-HARD
To assess sfate-of-the-rr LLMs in challenging scenarios, we additionally introduce BELASK-HARE subset. This subset comprises 89 instances that are annotated as expert-level knowledge difficulty (Level 5), including tasks such as predicting chess checkmates and solving advanced mathematics problems. Due to the intricate nature of FLASK- HARD tasks which may prevent reliable evaluation, we explore a more fine-graing grained evaluation setting for FLASK- -HHRD.. Instead of using a fixed score rubric for each skill, we introduce instance-specific score rubric for each skill. Specifically, EVAL LM first generates at most subquestions (checklists) that correspond to one the related skills annotated in Section 3.2 for each instance. Then, manually remove duplicates subquestions unrelated to the annotated skillset. After we annotate subquestions for each instance, evaluators give score ranging from 1 to 5 based the judgment of whether the model response fulfilled the specific criteria of the subquestions. We specify the illustration in Figure T and the prompt in Figure 35 (Appendix) for the sastance-specffic score rubric, respectively.
4 RELIABILITY OF FLASK
In this section, we investigate the reliability of FLASK by 1) measuring the correlation between human-based and model- evaluation and 2) the robustness stylistic changes of model-based evaluation. For correlation measurement, we conduct both human-based and model-based evalua- tions on 200 instances randomly sampled from the whole FLASK evaluation set. We recruited 10 human labelers who have majored in various fields including computer science, mathematics, eco- nomics, business, chemistry, etc. We evaluate 4 models: 1) GPT-3.5, 2) BARD, 3) VICUNA-13B and 4) ALPACA A- " For model-based evaluation, we use GPT-4 (OpenAl 2023) as the default known to show the highest correlation with human labelers (Liu et al. 2023 Dubois et al. 2023 Details of the human evaluation process are provided in Appendix G. and
EVAL LM since
[.I the analysis of inter-labeler agreement between skills is provided Appendix C.I To measure the robustness to stylistic changes, we use the response of GPT-3.5 of -LASK-HARR and generate an adversarial set to make the response more verbose. We measure the consistency of the scores given by the EVAL LM between the original and the adversarial response.
Fine-graininess leads to a high correlation between human- and model-based evaluation. We compare the result of human-based and model-based evaluation of FLASK in Figure 2 Overall, the tendency is similar between the two evaluation settings: ALPACA model results in the worst per- formance for most of the skills, and both VICUNA and ALPACA have a significant performance gap between GPT-3.5 and BARD on Logical Thinking (Logical Robustness, Logical Correctness, Logical Efficiency) and Background Knowledge abilities (Factuality. Commonsense Under- standing skills) compared to other skills. However, it's worth noting that both evaluation settings are necessary, as neither is perfect and they complement each other. human-based evaluation, we observe central tendency bias (Goldfarb-Taree
et al. 2020), where labelers tend to assign middle scores more often on the Likert scale, resulting in a more uniform score distribution. Also, human labelers are prone to fatigue since the annotation task requires knowledge-intensiv evaluation, such as code implementation tasks (Casper et al. 2023 Bowman et al. 2022). On the other hand, model- based evaluation is known possess style and verbosity bias (Wang al. 2023b Dubois et al.) 2023 Zheng et al.] 2023), where the evaluation model tends to prefer responses similar to its own

generation styles and responses with longer lengths. For example, for some skills, the EVAL LM tends to prefer the response styles of GPT-3.5 compared to BARD, unlike human evaluators.
To quantitatively analyze the correlation between human-based and model-based evaluation, we measure the Spearman, Kendall-Tau, and Pear- son correlation. We first observe that using an automatic metric (ROUGE-L) results in the low- est correlation. Next, we compare the skill- specific rubric setting of FLASK with the refer- ence answer-guided, skill-agnostic evaluation set- ting introduced in Zheng et al. (2023) and illus- trated in Figure Ta which provides an overall sin- gle score without considering the skill sef*) As shown in Table I applying skill-specific fine- grained evaluation leads stronger correlation between human-based and model-based evalua- tion consistently across various EVAL LMs. Also, by comparing different EVAL LMs, we observe that GPT-4 shows the highest correlation com- pared to GPT-3.5 and CLAUDE. Additionally, we analyze the effect of including a reference answer, generating rationale before assigning score, and including a score rubric for each skill during the model-based evaluation of FLASK, respec- tively. As shown in Table we notice that removing any of the factors leads significant drop in the correlation, especially for the reference answer.

We report Spearman (p), Kendall- Tau (7), and Pearson (r) correlation. We also measure the ef- feet of including reference answer. rationale gen- eration, and score rubric.
Fine-grained evaluation mitigates the bias of model-based evaluation. As mentioned previously, model-based evaluation is known to be prone to biases (Wang al. [0035] ZZeeng et al.) 2023). Among various biases, we investigate the effect of fine- grained evaluation on verbosity bias which quantitatively mea- surable in controllable setup. We take the original response of GPT-3.5 on HAASK-HARD and prompt GPT-3.5 to make the re- sponse verbose while retaining the contents. We measure the robustness of the evaluation method by calculating the ratio that the EVAL LM assigns the same regardless of the stylistic changes. We compare the skill-agnostic evaluation, the skill-specific rubric of FLASK, and the instance-specific rubric of FLASK introduced

and illustrated in Figure As shown in Figure observe that the robustness increases as the fine-gras aeee-raininess of the evaluation setting increases. This indicates that increasing the fine-grand tine-graininss could mitigate the biases and enhance the reliability of the model-basee evaluation to some extent. We provide the correlation between response length and the performance score for each skill of various models on the whole FLASK evaluation set in Figure 22] and Table [ in the Appendix. Although the instance-specific rubric is the most robust to stylistic changes, it is more costly as it requires an additional stage for annotating subquestions and manual validation. We there- fore utilize the instance sprrcceieseiiiieeee rubric in FLASK- FLASK-HARD only. We leave extending it to the whole evaluation set and the investigation of other biases as future work.

5 ANALYSIS BASED ON AUTOMATIC EVALUATION OF FLASK
Although conducting both human-based and model-based evaluation is reliable for comprehensive analysis, human-based evaluation is conscconu and expensive. Therefore, considering the high correlation with human-bast -aaend evaluation shown in Table I for the evaluation on the whole FLASK evaluation set, we focus on automatic model-based evaluation for an extensive analysis LLMs.
Current open-source models significantly underperform proprietary models on particular skills. First, to com- pare open-sourced models with proprictary models on the entire set, we compare GPT-3.5, VICUNA-13B, and Wiz- ARDLM-13B where the latter two models are trained with GPT-3.5 responses during instruction tuning. As shown in Figure VICUNA and WIZARDLM show similar per- formance across all skills. In contrast to the claim of Xu et al. 2203)), this implies that the effect of complex instruc- tions is not significant when using the same base model, teacher model, and training configuration. By comparing GPT-3.5 and the other two ppen-source models (VICUNA and WIZARDLM), we observe that P Problem Handl ing and User Alignment abilities can be almost fully imi- tated, including Metacognition, Readability, and Concise- ness. However, a large gap is especially noticeable in Legical Thinking and Background Knowledge abilities. This result aligns with Gudibande et al. (2023) which demonstrates that the open-source models only imitate the style of the proprietary models rather than the factuality. We also observe a similar tendency for larger open-source models such as TULU-65B as shown in Table By analyzing the performance in terms of each domain, we find that both open-source models significantly underperform GPT-3.5 in Math, and Coding domains, as shown in Figure 29alin the Appendix. Moreover. by analyzing the performance by difficulty level in Figure 30 in the Appendix, open-source models consistently exhibit poor performance across Think i ng and Rackground Knowl edgg abilities.

Some skills require larger model sizes. We analyze the effect of the model scale for each skill by comparing TÜLU 7B, 13B, 30B, and 65B shown in 5 Overall, we can observe that larger models lead to better performance, which aligns with the result of Chung et al. (2022): Wei et al. (202a)). However, the range of improvement varies across different skills. For example, skills such as Readability, Harmlessness, and Metacognition show slow improvement as the model scales up. On the other hand, skills such as Logical Robustness, Logical Correctness, and Logical Efficiency show rapid improvements. Using FLASK, we confirm the findings of Gudibande et al. (2023) that skills requiring logical reasoning or fact retrieval benefit significantly from model scaling. Inter- estingly, we observe that for some skills, the performance nearly saturates after a particular scale; Logical Efficiency and Conciseness after 30B, Insightfulness after 13B and Metacognition after 7B. This suggests that some skills necessitate larger model sizes, while others can be achieved with smaller models. By analyzing the effect of model scaling for different levels of difficulty for each

skill, we find that scaling the model size is more effective for easier instructions, shown in Figure 6 Larger models of TüLU reduce the performance gap with GPT-3.5, especially for the simple lifestyle knowledge (Level 1), whereas the gap increases for higher difficulties. We provide the results for each domain in Figure 32 and additionally observe that different skills require different training steps in Appendix C.6
Proprietary models also struggle on the FLASK-HARD set. We also compare the performance of various proprietary models (GPT-3.5, BARD, CLAUDE, INSTRUCTGPT, GPT-4) on the FLASK evaluation set as shown in Figure 7a For all skills of Problem Handling CLAUDE shows the best performance while for caliical Thinking and Background Knowledge GPT-3.5 shows the best performance. INSTRUCTGPT shows the worst performance across most skills be- cause often provides short responses while not fully addressing the intention of given instruction. We provide the comparison between proprietary models for each domain in Figure 33] Furthermore, we compare the performance of different proprietary models on the FLASK-HARD set, as shown in Figure 7b and [c], which adopts skill-specific and instance-specific score rubrics, respectively. First, we observe that on BLASK-HARD the performance significantly degrades for Logical Thinking and Background Knowledge abilities compared to Figure 7al Also, by comparing other models with GPT-4, we observe that there is a large gap for Logical Correctness, Insightful- and Commonsense Understanding. Interestingly, even the state-of-the-an GPT-4 model also performs poorly for Logical Correctness and Factuality skills on the FLASK-HARE set. This sug- gests there is significant room for improvement in those abilities even for the proprietary models. By

(c) Performance comparison of various pro- prietary models the FLASK-HARD evaluation using instance-specific score rubrics. Exact numbers including those open-source models are reported in Table and Table I0 (Appenddix.)
we can observe that adopting an instance-specific score rubric leads to lower score overall. This indicates that instance-specifii score rubric is more strict setting since it necessitates accomplishing a more specific requirement as shown in the example of Figure Although in-depth analysis of the model scales or training techniques infeasible for proprietary models, FLASK-HAN could provide action items for companies developing proprietary models.

APPLICATION OF FLASK
FLASK for Developers FLASK enables model developers to more accurately analyze the per- formance of their own models and suggests detailed action items for intermediate model check- points. Specifically, developers working open-source LLMs compare the performance with proprietary LLMs and try to close the gap between them, especially for Logi cal Thinking and Background Knowledge abilities. On the other hand, developers working proprietary LLMs can devise methods to enhance the performance of their own models on the FLASK-HAN LLMs and Longpre et al. (2023b); Xie et al. (2023) for pre-trained LLMs, FLASK can be utilized for making better base models, making better training datasets, and making better training techniques.
set. Similar to the role of Wang et al. (2022a); : Longpre et al. (2023a) for instruction-tum
FLASK for Practitioners FLASK enables practitioners to select appropriate LLMs for different situations, similar to the role of Jiang et al. (2023). Because the evaluation setting of FLASK is dynamic, practitioners can perform metadata annotation on their own test sets and approximate which models would be suitable. For example, if the end-use case is chatbot for chit-chat, using 7B fine-tune tnnet open-source models might be enough. In contrast, it might be worthwhile to pay for API calls of proprietary LLMs for complex reasoning tasks. Potentially, the result of FLASK can be used to automatically route and recommend suitable LLMs depending on the instruction.
7 CONCLUSION
In this paper, we introduce FLASK, a fine-grained language skill set evaluation setting for the align- ment of language models. We categorize 12 fine- -raingd skills to evaluate LLMs and annotate necessary skills, the target domain, and the difficulty level for each instance. FLASK provides comprehensive and interpretable analysis of the capabilities of LLMSs by allowing the analysis of the performance depending on different skills, domains, and difficulty levels. Also, we observe that applying fine-grained evaluation results better reliability terms of correlation between human- based and model-base evaluation and the robustness of model-based evaluation to stylistic changes. We analyze various spurcs and proprietary LLMs and suggest that FLASK could be utilized for making better language models and providing meaningful insights of various LLMs for both de- velopers and practitioners. We hope that FLASK could serve as an initial guideline for fine- ane-grained evaluation towards comprehensive and reliable evaluation setting.

A LIMITATION AND FUTURE WORK
A.1 LIMITATION OF EVALUATORS
As discussed in Section 4 both human and model evaluators possess limitations during evaluation. Human labelers tend to show central tendency bias and are prone to annotation fatigue due to the difficulty and wide scope of knowledge needed evaluate each instance. These factors might have caused the moderate inter-agreement between human labelers. We expect that using advanced features such as document retrieval for fact verification (Min al. 2023) or highlight hints (Krishna et al. 2023) could mitigate this issue. On the other hand, the model -ased evaluation shows bias in preferring longer responses and in writing styles that are similar to the evaluation's 's model writing style. While model-
evaluation is more efficient in terms of time and cost as discussed in Appendix G.3 we emphasize that evaluation in both settings is crucial to reliably figure out the true capability of a language model. We leave mitigating the limitations for respective evaluation settings as future work. Also, we did not extensively conduct human- basad evaluations due to cost and time constraints. For a more reliable setting, a larger number of labelers from diverse demographics could be recruited and the human- based evaluation could be conducted on a larger set. Also, while we evaluated only 4 models for buman-based evaluation, larger number of models could be evaluated for future work.
A.2 SCOPE OF THE EVALUATION
We restrict the scope of the current evaluation instance to be monolingual (including only English user instructions), single-turn, language-focused, and zero-shot. We leave extension to multilingual instructions, multi-turn, multi-modal, and few-shot in-context learning evaluation to future work. Also, the TLASK-HARI subset only contains 89 instances, making the effect of outliers unavoid- able when analyzing by each skill, domain, or difficulty. However, expansion to these axes could be easily implemented once the instances are collected using the process described in Section 3.2 because the metadata annotation is automatic and dynamic. Also, we only apply instance-specifi scoring rubrics on FLASK- HARD.. Although we have shown that adopting a more fine-grained evaluation setting leads to increased robustness for model-based evaluation, we have not conducted human evaluations for the instance-specific scoring rubrics on the FLASK whole set due to time and cost constraints. Additionally, new abilities of LLMs are newly discovered (Wei et al. (002a)), indicating that recategorization of the primary abilities and skills might be needed for future models possessing potentially much more powerful abilities and skills.
B MODEL DETAILS
We evaluate LLMs with varying model sizes, training techniques, and training datasets. We evaluate several proprietary LLMs where the model responses are provided through private APIs with model details hidden from the end users. These include 1) OpenAl's GPT-3.5 (OpenAT, 2022 2) Ope-
nAI's INSTRUCTGPT (text-davingi-003) (Ouvang ct al. 2022). 3) Google's BARD Google 2023), and 4) Anthropic's ' CLAUDE 1.0 (Anthropic 2023 For open-source models which are tuned
based on human-curatie datasets or responses from proprietary models, we compare 1) ALPACC
13B (Taori et al.) 2023) which is a fine-tuned LLAMA model (Touvron et al. 2023a) on 52,000
instructions and responses generated by text-davinci-00 2) VICUNA I3BiCh et al. 2023) which is a LLAMA model fine-tuned on 70K responses of GPT-3.5 available through ShareGPT.
3) WIZARDLM 13B (Xu et al.] 2023). LLAMA model fine-tuned 250K instructions and re- sponses augmented by GPT-3.5 through instruction evolving, 4) TÜLU 13B (Wang et al. (023b), a LLAMA model fine-tuned on 490K training instances which are mixture of human and machine- generated instructions and responses, 5) LLLMM2 Chat 70B Touvron et al.) 2023b). a chat-variant of ILLMM2 model fine-tuned with instruction tuning and RLHF. To evaluate LLMs with various model sizes, we also compare TÜLU 7B, 13B, 30B, and 65B models. Also, to compare the effect of different fine-tuning datasets, we compare models finetuned on SHAREGPTID CODE-ALPACA

C ADDITIONAL ANALYSIS
C.I INTER-LABELED AGREEMENT BETWEEN SKILLS
We analyze the inter-labeler agreement of both human- based evaluation and model-based evaluation using Krip- pendorff's s alpha (Hughes) 2021). For numan-based eval- uation, because we assign 3 labelers for each instance, we measure the agreement between labelers. For model- based evaluation, we set the decoding temperature as 1.0 for nondeterministic generations while keeping the EVAL LM (GPT-4) fixed and measure the agreement between 3 runs. First, the overall agreement of inter-labeler agree- ment for coman-based evaluation is 0.488, indicating a moderate correlation while the agreement is 0.835 for model-based evaluation. Second, we analyze the human- human agreement, model-model agreement, and human- model correlation for each skill shown in Table 2 While skills such as Logical Correctness and Common- sense Understanding have high agreement correla- tion for all settings, skills such as Readability and Con- ciseness do not. This implies that more subjectivity tends to exist in User Al gngeett ability than Logi cal 1 Thinking ing and Background Knowl edge abilities consistent for all settings. We expect that disagreement between labelers for User Al anienttnt ability could be utilized for additional training signals or personaliza- tion for subjective tasks (Gordon et al.] [202]] [Salemi et al. 2023). We explore agreement between different EVAL LMS Appendix C.8

C.2 ANALYSIS OF DIFFERENT FINETUNING DATA
Through the metadata annotation process of FLASK, we can analyze not only the evaluation data but also the instructions of fine-tuning data. To compare different fine-tuning datasets, we com- pare SHAREGPT, FLAN V2. ALPACA, CODE-ALPACA, and EVOL-INSTRUCT data by randomly sampling 200 instances. We first compare the primary ability and skill proportion for each training data shown in Figure and Figure 9 While SHAREGPT and FLAN V2 show similar pro- portions, EVOL-INSTRUCC focuses more on Logical Think monking and P Probles em Handling Also, ALPACA focuses on Problem Handling and User Aligrment while CODE-ALPACE mainly focuses on Logical Thinking. By comparing the domain proportion shown in Figure 10 we observe that SHAREGPP, CODE-ALPACA and EVOL-INSTRUCThav large proportion of the Coding and Technology domain while FLAN-v2 and ALPACA have large proportion of Lan- guage domain. Lastly, we compare the difficulty level of each instruction of training data shown in Figure I1 Overall, ALPAACA and FLAN V2 show relatively low difficulty while CODE-AL ALPE-AA and SHAREGPT show moderate difficulty and ENOI--INTTRUC shows the highest difficulty.
We also report the performance of different fine-tuning datasets subset of FLASK where only the instances that have short reference answers (less than 5 words) are selected in Figure 12 Differ- ent from the result of Figure 14, the performance gap between different training instructions reduces especially for Logical Thinkins ng and User Ali Anigntent. This indicates that the low perfor- mance of FLAN V2 in Figure 14 is due to the failure to generate long-for forg-form responses rather than the lack of ability. We leave exploring the effect of replacing the responses of FLAN V2 instruction to longer responses future work.

C.3 EFFECT OF DIFFERENT TRAINING DATA
We analyze the effect of different fine- tuning datasets by fine-tuning LLAMA 13B model with SHAREGPT, FLAN V2, ALPACA, CODE-ALPACA, and EVOL-INSTRUCT data, respectively. The results are shown in Figure 14 First, the model trained on FLAN V2 un- derperforms other baselines for most skills. Be- cause FLAN V2 consists relatively short re- sponses, training FI.AN V2 leads to fail- ure for instructions that require long-form text generation. However, for the evaluation sub- set where the length of the reference answer is shorter than 5 words, FLAN V2 shows similar performance to other baselines as illustrated in Figure 12 This indicates that while FLAN V2 is effective for instructions that require short responses, it is not suitable for long-form text generation. Second, by comparing the effect of training on AL.PACA and CODE-ALPPACA, we can observe that CODE-ALPACA model out- performs ALPACA on Logical Thinking ability, indicating that domain-specific instruc- tion tuning on the Coding domain leads to improved Loqical Thinking. Third, by comparing the result of models trained with SHAREGPT and EVOL-INSTRUCT, although the in- structions of EVOL--INTTRCT more difficult than SHAREGPT shown in Figure 11 using

C.4 EFFECT OF TRAINING ON BETTER RESPONSES
We explore the effect of training on better response for each instruction by using better teacher models for distillation-based instruction tuning. We compare ALPACA which is finetuned the responses INSTRUCTGPT and GPT4-ALPACA which is finetuned on the responses of GPT-4. GPT-4 model is known show better performance than INSTRUCTGPT, also shown in Figure 7a being a better teacher model. We also illustrate the result of GPT-3.5 for comparison. As shown in Figure 15| GPTA-ALPACA 13B outperforms ALPACA 13B for all skills. This shows that using better responses during training leads to better performance. However, although GPT-4 is known to show better performance than GPT-3.5, also shown in Figure 7a, GPT4-ALPACA underperforms GPT- 3.5 for all skills. This shows that although training on better responses improves the performance, enhancement not enough. Instead, training on better base model other than LLAMA 13B model could lead to better performance.
C.5 EFFECT OF RLHF
We analyze the effect of RLHF training by comparing VICUNA-13B with STABLEVICUNA- which additionally finetunes VICUNA model via RLHF on a mixture of OpenAssistant Conversa- tions Dataset (OASSTI) (Köpf al.) 2023), GPT4AIl (Anand al. 2023). and ALPACA (Taori et al., 2023) training instances. The reward model to train STABLE VIABLEVICUNA VICUNA model is trained with mixture of OASSTI, Anthropic HH-RLHF (Bai al. 2022a). and Stanford Human Preferences Dataset (Askell et al. 2021). The result shown in Table Overall, applying the RLHF process

leads to improved Logical Thinking and impaired performance on the rest of the skills. We conjecture that the performance degradation most of the skills is due the quality of the dataset used for RLHF being worse than the dataset used during instruction tuning (SHAREGPT), However, leave detailed analysis of the comparison of these fine-tuning datasets future work. Even though the performance degrades for most skills, the RLHF process leads to consistent improve- ment on Logics cal Thinking, implying that using more advanced RLHF techniques (Lightman et al. 2023 Wu et al. (203a) might reduce the gap of Logical Thinking ability between open-source and proprietary L.LMs.
C.6 FINE-TUNING STEPS VARIATION
We explore the effect of different fine-tuning steps by instruction-tuning LLAMA 7B SHAREGPT for different numbers of epochs. We report the performance for each skill Fig- ure where the training epoch of zero corresponds to LLAMA 7B model performance. Overall,

most of the skills acquired during the first epoch. However, the performance tendency after the first epoch varies depending on the skill. For skills such as Logical Correctness, Logical Efficiency, Factuality, Completeness, and Conciseness, the performance improves consistently. Logical Cor- rectness showing the biggest improvement. From the result of Figure 55 and Figure [6]] we suggest that Logical Correctness skill requires both extensive scale of the model and training steps for effec- tive acquisition. On the other hand, the performance decreases after the first epoch for skills such as Hannlessness, Readability, and Logical Robustness. These results show that different skills require different training steps, similar to the result of the model scale of Figure Therefore, we conjecture that optimizing each skill using experts might lead better performance (Shen et al.) 2023a Jang

C.7 USING CLAUDE AS EVAL LM FOR EVALUATION
We explore using CLAUDE as EVAL LM instead of GPT-4. The result is shown in Figure 17 By comparing with setting GPT-4 model as EVAL LM shown in Table 9 we find that CLAUDE gives better scores for Logical Thinking and worse scores for User A. Alignment overall. Especially, different from the result of Table 9 Figure 17 shows that open-source models such as VICUNA largely reduce the gap with proprietary models for Logical Think ing and Factuality abilities. Considering that the human-based evaluation shows an opposite result in Figure 2 and the correlation with human labelers is lower for CLAUDE compared to GPT-4, we conjecture that this tendency is due to CLAUDE not possessing much Loqical Thinking ing and Factuality abilities GPT-4 the EVAL LM as default. However, we suggest using various EVAL LMS for mrodel-based evaluation FLASK if the ability between evaluators is similar for closer simulation of human-based evaluation Dubois al. 2023
clearly shown in Figure 7 Therefore,

C.8 EXPLORING AGREEMENT BETWEEN EVAL LMS
Expanding on the analysis of Section 4 also measure the inter-model agreement setting where we set 3 separate EVAL LMS (GPT-3.5. CLAUDE, GPT-4) as evaluators and measure the agree- ment between different models similar to the setting of AlpacaFarm (Dubois et al.] (023). The result shows that the overall inter-model agreement is 0.471 in Table 4 This is consistent with the result of Dubois et al. (023), showing that using inter-model evaluation shows similar inter-labeler agreement to human- based evaluation. However, when we analyze the agreement for each skill in Table in contrast to the result of Table inter-model show different tendency with inter-labeler agreement for human-based evaluation, showing the lowest agreement for Logical Robustness. We conjecture that this is due to the inherent ability gap between each EVAL LMS shown in Figure 7a where the gap is evident for Logical Robustness and Logical Efficiency (Lee et al. 2023
C.9 ADDITIONAL MODELS
We evaluate additional models which include LLAMA2 Chat 13B. 2) VICUNA 7B, 3) VICUNA 33B, 4) and SELFEE 13B. For LLAMA2 Chat 13B, we compare with VICUNA 13B to compare the effect of using better base models and LLAMA2 Chat 70B to compare the effect of the model size.

As shown in Figure 18 by comparing VICUNA 13B and LLAMA2 Chat, using better base models leads to slight improvement for Logical Thinking and Background Knowledge while the improvement is significant for Insightfulness and Completeness skill. However, LLAMA2 Chat leads to worse Conciseness. Since the fine-tuning dataset is different for VICUNA and LLAMA2 Chat, further analysis is needed to analyze the effect of the base model. Also, by comparing LLAMA2 Chat 13B and 70B, we observe that using larger models leads to improved performance overall, aligned with the result of 3 For VICUNA 7B and VICUNA 33B, we compare with V1-

Note that only for VICUNA 33B, we use version 1.3, which is one of the pest-open-sourg models at the point of the experiment on AlpacaEval (Li ct al. 2023b), As shown in Figure 19 using larger models leads improved skills overall. However, there still exists a significant gap between GPT-3.5 for Logi cal Think walkingg ing and Background Knowledge abilities. For SELFEE (Ye et al. 2023b), which is LLAMA model instruction- tuned to give feedback and revise its own response iteratively, compare with VICUNA 13B and GPT- 3.5 to confirm the effectiveness of self-revision. The result shown in Figure 20 We observe that SELFEE shows improved performance Logical Robustness, Logical Correctness, Insightfulness, Completeness while performing on par or worse compared to VICUNA model. This implics that for ILAMA 13B model, using self-feedback and revision improves the Insightfulness and Complete- ness while it does not reduce the gap between proprietary models for Logical Thinking and Background Knowledgs abilities.
D BROADER RELATED WORK & BACKGROUND
D.1 EVALUATION OF LLMs
Conventionally, the performance of LLMs is measured by assessing the model on separate bench- marks using automatic metrics such accuracy for knowledge/reasoning tasks ROUGE for long- form text generation (Chung et al. 2022 Hendrycks et al. 2020) Suzgun et al. 2022 Wang et al., 2022c Gao al. 2021; Zhong al. 2023) However, automatic metrics are based on surface-level features, indicating the limitation in terms of comprehensiveness and correlation to actual model performance (Gehrmann al., 2022). Recently, overcome the limitations of automatic metrics, human-based or mosel-based evaluation has been adopted, usually evaluating the overall quality of the model by annotating a binary preference or an overall scalar score. Although human-based eval- uation is known be more reliable, it is not scalable easily reproducible (Ouyang et al. 2022 Krishna et al. 2023). ) On the other hand, moodel-based evaluation, more scalable and reproducible option, has been widely used simulate human-bart based evaluation with the cost of compromised
reliability to some extent (Dubois et al. 2023 Chiang et al. 2023 Chiang & yi Lee 2023 Liu et al.

D.2 USING LLMS AS EVALUATORS
Recently, LLM evaluators have been largely used to simulate human-based evaluation due to the cost and time efficiency compared to human evaluation. However, using LLMs as evaluators have the limitation of certain biases: position bias, verbosity, style bias (Zheng et al. 2023 Wang al.) 2023a), where LLMs tend to prefer the first option, longer responses, responses having a similar style its own output. For the evaluation setting of FLASK, position bias is eliminated because we are giving an absolute score instead relying on a binary comparison. Also, by dividing the scoring scheme into fine-grained skill-level factors, try mitigate the effect of verbosity and

style bias. For verbosity bias, compare the correlation between response length and performance for Logical Correctness and Completeness skill. As shown in Figure 22 and Table 5 Completeness skill is inherently influenced by response length, showing high correlation between response length and performance. However, for Logical Correctness skill, the correlation decreased to some extent, showing that dividing the scoring scheme into fine-grained skill-level factors mitigates verbosity bias.
E DETAILS FOR METADATA ANNOTATION PROCESS
For the skill set annotation of EVAL LM, we initially did not control the number of annotated skills per instance. We faced the issue that some skills could be universally applied to most instances (e.g. Readability or Comprehension). leading to most instances containing annotation of the universal skills. However, our aim the skill evaluation is to focus on user instructions that truly requires that skill. For example, logical problems do not necessitate readability compared to writing tasks such as 'Write a template for First-Person Linkedln profile summary'. We found that annotating top-K (K=3) relevant skills per instance led the optimal balance; avoiding labeling skills such as readability to all instances while leaving out instances that truly required the skill. Also, the metacognition skill has inherent characteristic that the skill is often dependent the model

being evaluated. Since language models are evaluated by text-based LLMs or humans in this work, we set the reference based on the capability of GPT-4. Therefore, we focus on instances that require other modalities (ex) Do you like the taste of pizza?) or answering about future events (ex) If bitcoin has gone up in value over the last twenty years, what do we know will happen in the next twenty years?) to include metacognition for annotation. Moreover, we observed that the EVAL LM has position bias when selecting the top-3 necessary skills from preliminary experiments. Therefore, randomly shuffle the index of each skill description for each instance. We specify the domain categorization of FLASK in Table 6 which is divided into 10 domains and 38 sub-domains in total, We modify the domain categorization of Wikipedia (Reid et al. 2022)

Note that the full list of 10 domains and 38 sub-domains are provided to EvAL LM for model-based evaluation and human labelers for human- based evaluation. For difficulty, since the concept of difficulty is inherently subjective depending on the annotator's 's background and education level, define the difficulty how much domain knowledge is needed. We write descriptions and example instances for each level to clarify the boundaries between each level. Similar to the evaluation prompt of Chiang al. (2023), we write separate guidelines and examples for Math (Figure 50) and Coding (Figure[51] domains, since these domains have distinct required domain knowledge compared other domains (Figure
F METADATA STATISTICS OF EVALUATION SET OF FLASK
We provide detailed statistics of the evaluation set of FLASK. We first provide the proportion of each primary ability and skill of the evaluation set, shown in Figure 23 and Figure 24 Among different skills, Comprehension skill accounts for the largest ratio since most instruction requires understand- ing the purpose of the instruction and fulfilling the requirements accordingly. On the other hand, Harmlessness and Metacognition skills account for the least. We also report the proportion of each skill for FLASK- - Figure 25 We can observe that the distribution of FLASK HARRD is sim- ilar to FLASK. The proportion of each domain of the evaluation set is shown in Figure 26 While Humanities and Culture domains account for the largest portion, domains such as History account for the smallest portion. Lastly, report the statistics of each difficulty level of the evaluation set

stage is divided into 3 parts: 1) binary domain acceptance, 2) scoring and acceptance for each skill, and 3) difficulty scoring. First, binary domain acceptance task judge whether the domain annotation annotated by EVAL LM (GPT-4) is acceptable. Second, evaluators annotate whether the skill is well annotated and give a score for each skill ranging from score rubric. For skill acceptance, we make a score of "N/A" for evaluation of the model response for each skill, which is assigned when the skill annotated by the EVAL LM is not needed or irrelevant to answering the instruction. For difficulty, labelers annotate the difficulty level that ranges from to 5, where Level I corresponds to simple lifestyle knowledge and Level 5 corresponds to expert-level knowledge.

Lastly, for the correlation between human label- ers and annotation model (GPT-4) of difficulty level annotation, the Spearman, Kendall- -aa,, and Pearson correlation is 0.779, 0.653, and 0.774 respectively. indicating moderate correlation. Also, the agreement between labelers for difficulty level measured with Krippendorff's alpha is 0.540, showing moderate agreement (Hughes) 2021

H ADDITIONAL RESULTS
We provide additional results of the model-based evaluation of FLASK. In Figure 30 show the performance comparison between GPT-3.5, VICUNA 13B, and WIZARDLM 13B for each skill. In Figure 31 show the performance comparison between GPT-3.5, TÜLU-7B, 13B, 30B, and 65B for each skill, depending on the difficulty of the instruction. In Figure 32 we show the perfor- mance comparison between GPT-3.5, TÜLU-7B, 13B, 30B, and 65B for each domain. In Figure 33 we show the performance comparison between various proprietary models for each domain. By comparing GPT-3.5 and CLAUDE, we can observe that GPT-3.5 outperforms Math and Coding domain, while CLAUDE outperforms GPT-3.5 on the rest of the domains.

I SKILL CATEGORIZATION OF FLASK
We specify the definition and the application for each skill. Note that the same definition is provided to both EVAL LM for model- based evaluation and human labelers for human-based evaluation.
We illustrate the skill categorization of FLASK Table 11
SOURCE DATASET LIST
We provide the full list the source datasets that composes the evaluation set FLASK shown in Figure 12, which is collected by authors. We include not only datasets that are conventionally used the evaluation of LLMs such as MMLU (Hendrycks al. 2020) and BBH (Suzgun al. 2022).
but also datasets sourced from diverse domains such FinQA (Chen al. 2022) which evaluates the numerical reasoning over financial data and Haiku Generation dataset (Scialom et al. 2022).
During dataset collection, for instances that have missing outputs (reference answers), the reference answers using the responses of the EVAL LM. From preliminary experiments, we observed that EVAL LM only references the reference answer instead of fully relying on it during evaluation. The evaluation set of FLASK is collected from 120 NLP datasets, resulting in 1,700 instances in total. We also provide the full list of the source datasets composing the FLASK-HARD set, shown in Table 13

We would like you label the difficulty of the following question. You should classify the knowledge needed to solve the question into simple lifestyle knowledge, advanced lifestyle knowledge, formal education knowledge, major level knowledge, and expert level knowledge. You must write only one class without any explanation.
Simple lifestyle knowledge: Questions that are straightforward and do not require explana- tions. People without formal education could easily answer these questions. Example: A second-year college student is usually called what?
Advanced lifestyle knowledge: Questions that do not require formal education domain- specific knowledge but require explaining a well-known concept. Example: Who was president of the United States when Bill Clinton was born?
Formal education knowledge: Questions that require an understanding of background knowledge related to the domain. However, they do not require major-level knowledge related the domain.
Example: When the Founders met in 1787 to write the Constitution, what was their primary objective?
Major level knowledge: Questions that require understanding speecic concepts and coming up with novel answers that are creative and sound. People majoring in the domain can solve these questions.
Example: According Kubler-Ross when terminally ill patient is informed of his/her condition, what would the patient's 's initial reaction likely be?
Expert level knowledge: Questions that require understanding uncommon or professional domain-specific knowledge and coming up with novel answers that creative and sound. A profession in a specific field of the target domain is required.
Example: company owned night club that was built on pier extending into a major riverbed. For several months sections of the building had been wobbling noticeably, par- ticularly during inclement weather, when structure. Several employees and customers complained but the general manager did not respond. One windy night section of the pier collapsed into the river, killing 28 customers and employees. It was revealed that officials had several prior occasions cited the club for violating applicable safety regulations. The police arrested the general manager and charged him with involuntary manslaughter. He defended on the basis that his omissions legally insufficient to establish manslaughter. What will the court decide?

We would like you to label the difficulty of the following question. You should classify the knowledge needed to solve the question into simple lifestyle knowledge, advanced lifestyle knowledge, formal education knowledge, major level knowledge, and expert level knowledge. You must write only one class without any explanation.
Simple lifestyle knowledge: Problems that require only simple calculations and only a few straightforward steps are needed to solve the problem. Example: Find the value of 2 2 8 4.
Advanced lifestyle knowledge: Problems that require comprehension the situation, and few step-by-step reasoning procedures and calculations to solve the problem. These problems could be solved with general lifestyle knowledge.
Example: Sam and Jeff had skipping competition recess. The competition was split into four rounds. Sam completed more skip than Jeff in the first round. Jeff skipped 3 fewer times than Sam in the second round. Jeff skipped more times than Sam in the third round. Jeff got tired and only completed half the number of skips as Sam in the last round. If Sam skipped 16 times in each round, what the average number of skips per round completed by Jeff?
Formal education knowledge: Problems that require formal education to solve the problem, and a few step-by-ster reasoning procedures and calculations. However, they do not require major-level knowledge related to the domain. Example: Suppose that a, b, and e are positive integers satisfying (a+b+c)3 - 150. Find b
Major level knowledge: Problems that require coomain-specifee knowledge such theorems or recent research and require complex reasoming steps and calculations. Example: How many values of z with 0frrcler < 990%ir satisfy sinr 00.1?
Expert level knowledge: Math problems that require extensive domain-specific knowledge to prove theorems or recent research and handle multiple edge cases. These problems require professional expertise.
Example: Prove that if ff is continuous nonvanishing function on the circle with absolutely convergent Fourier series, then is 1/f.

We would like you to label the difficulty of the following question. You should classify the knowledge needed to solve the question into simple lifestyle knowledge, advanced lifestyle knowledge, formal education knowledge, major level knowledge, and expert level knowledge. You must write only one class without any explanation.
Simple lifestyle knowledge: Problems that ask for straightforward implementation or execution results of the given code. These problems do not require reasoning step and could be solved with minimal background knowledge.
Example: Your task is to write code which prints Hello World.
Advanced lifestyle knowledge: Problems that require simple implementation execution results of the given code. These problems only require a few reasoning steps to solve them. Example: Swap given two numbers and print them and return it.
Formal education knowledge: Problems that require some background knowledge such well-known algorithms and few step-by-step reasoning steps. However, they do not require major-level knowledge related the domain.
Example: Given binary array A[] of size N. The task arrange the array in increasing order.
Major level knowledge; Problems that require domain-specific knowledge such as major- level algorithms or concepts and require complex reasoning steps to implement expect the execution result of the code. Also, these problems require handling multiple edge cases. Example: Given a string s, find two disjoint palindromic subsequences of such that the product of their lengths is maximized. The two subsequences are disjoint if they do not both pick a character
the same index. Return the maximum possible product of the lengths of the two palindromic subsequences. A subsequence is string that can be derived from another string by deleting some or no characters without changing the order of the remaining characters. A string palindromic if reads the same forward and backward.
Expert level knowledge: Problems that require extensive domain-specife knowledge to derstand the problem and implement the code. Also, it is expected to be difficult to handle all edge and implement with optimal time complexity for these problems. These prob- lems require professional expertise.
Example: You are given an integer array nums and an integer Find the longest subse- quence of nums that meets the following requirements: The subsequence is strictly increas- ing and the difference between adjacent elements in the subsequence is at most k. Return the length of the longest subsequence that meets the requirements. A subsequence is an array that can be derived from another array by deleting some or no elements without changing the order of the remaining elements.

FLASK contains 1,700 example instances compiled from 120 NLP datasets such ash MMLU and GSM8K. It creates a set of four primarily abilities (logical thinking, background knowledge, problem handling, and user alignment), which are further divided into 12 fine-grained skills. Each of the 1,700 instances in FLASK is labeled with regard to the top-3 required skills among the twelve. The authors demonstrate that using fine-grained evaluation of LLM outputs enhance the agreement between GPT-4's automatic rating results and human-rater results. The authors applied FLASK on closed-source LLMs such as GPT-3.5 and Bard, as well as open-source LLMs including Alpaca-13B and Vicuna-13B. The results indicate that open-source LLMs currently lag behind closed-source ones in all the skill categories, but especially in logical thinking and background knowledge.", "questions": "Q1. From each of the 120 datasets, how did the authors select the particular examples to be included in FLASK?

This advances the state of art for LLM evaluation.", "weaknesses": "W1. There seems to be some arbitrariness in creating the list of 12 fine-grained skills. Some of the skills seem to be not clearly motivated or crisply applicable to all problem instances. For instance, the fine-grained skill \"readability\" applies to *all* problems, because readability of generated text is desirable to the human users regardless of the domain or difficulty of the problem. So this begs the question for what sort of problems would \"readability\" be singled out as an \"essential skill\". As another example, the fine-grained skill \"metacognition\" is related to whether the model is aware of the limits of its own knowledge. Therefore, whether a problem instance requires metacognition seems to depend on whether the problem is beyond the ability of the model, which is of course dependent on the model itself. So it's unclear to me how metacognition could be labeled as the essential skill of a problem instance in a model-independent way. In summary I think there is room for improvement in the details of the four abilities and 12 fine-grained skills, but this doesn't take away from the primary strength of this paper (S1 and S2).\nW2. Likewise, there seems to be some arbitrariness in the ten problem domains, in two aspects. First, there are some obvious missing domains such as laws, finance, and travel. It is unclear which of the ten domains those would fall into. Second, it's unclear how this system handles problem instances that involve multiple domains.\nW3. The conclusion in the comparison of open- and closed-source LLMs is somewhat dubious because of a lack of public knowledge of the closed-source LLMs' parameter count. The open-source LLMs shown in Figure 2 and Figure 4 are all 13B in parameter count, while there is no published parameter count for GPT-3.5 or Bard. Therefore it is possible that the difference seen here is attributable to differences in model size rather than details in the model's development (e.g., OpenAI and Google's undisclosed training recipes). \nW4.
