We present Holistic Evaluation of Language Models (HELM) to improve the transparency of language models. First, we taxonomize the vast space of potential scenarios (i.e. use cases) and metrics (i.e. desiderata) that are of interest for LMs. Then we select a broad subset based on coverage and feasibility, noting what’s missing or underrepresented (e.g. question answering for neglected English dialects, metrics for trustworthiness). Second, we adopt a multi-metric approach: We measure 7 metrics (accuracy, calibration, robustness, fairness, bias, toxicity, and efficiency) for each of 16 core scenarios to the extent possible (87.5% of the time), ensuring that metrics beyond accuracy don’t fall to the wayside, and that trade-offs across models and metrics are clearly exposed. We also perform 7 targeted evaluations, based on 26 targeted scenarios, to more deeply analyze specific aspects (e.g. knowledge, reasoning, memorization/copyright, disinformation). Third, we conduct a large-scale evaluation of 30 prominent language models (spanning open, limited-access, and closed models) on all 42 scenarios, including 21 scenarios that were not previously used in mainstream LM evaluation. Prior to HELM, models on average were evaluated on just 17.9% of the core HELM scenarios, with some prominent models not sharing a single scenario in common. We improve this to 96.0%: now all 30 models have been densely benchmarked on a set of core scenarios and metrics under standardized conditions. Our evaluation surfaces 25 top-level findings concerning the interplay between different scenarios, metrics, and models.

Abstract
Language models (LMs) are becoming the foundation for almost all major language tech- nologies, but their capabilities, limitations, and risks are not well understood. We present Holistic Evaluation of Language Models (HELM) to improve the transparency of language models. First, we taxonomize the vast space of potential scenarios (i.e. use cases) and met- rics (i.c. desiderata) that are of interest for LMs. Then we select a broad subset based on coverage and feasibility, noting what's missing or underrepresented (e-g- question answering for neglected English dialects, metrics for trustworthiness). Second, we adopt multi-metric approach: We measure 7 metrics (accuracy, calibration, robustness, fairness, bias, toxicity, and efficiency) for each of 16 core scenarios to the extent possible (87.5% of the time), en- suring that metrics beyond accuracy don't fall to the wayside, and that trade-offs across models and metrics are clearly exposed. We also perform targeted evaluations, based on 26 largeted scenarios, to more deeply analyze specific aspects (e.g. knowledge, reasoning, memorization/ copyright, disinformation). Third, we conduct large-scale evaluation of 30 prominent language models (spanning open, limited-access, and closed modcls) all 42 sce- narios, including 21 scenarios that were not previously used in mainstream LM evaluation. Prior to HELM, models average were evaluated on just 17.9% of the core HELM sce- narios, with some prominent models not sharing single scenario in common. We improve this to 96.0%: now all 30 models have been densely benchmarked on a set of core scenarios and metrics under standardized conditions. Our evaluation surfaces 25 top-level findings concerning the interplay between different scenarios, metrics, and models. For full trans- parency, we release all raw model prompts and completions publiely for further analysis, as well general modular toolkit for easily adding new scenarios, models, metrics, and prompting strategies We intend for HELM to be a living benchmark for the community, continuously updated with new scenarios, metrics, and models.

A helm Language Model
wheel for steering ship...
Language model. A language model takes text (a prompt) and generates text (a completion) probabilistically: Despite their simple interface, language models can be adapted to wide range of language tasks from question answering to summarization.
Figure 1:
1 Introduction
Benchmarks orient AI. They encode values and priorities [Ehhayrajh & Jurafsky
2020 Birhane et al., 2022
that specify directions for the AI community to improve upon (Spärck Jones & Galliers 1995 Spärck Jones 2005 Kiela, al.] 2021 Bowman & Dahl, 2021 Raji et al.] 2021). When implemented and interpreted appropriately, they enable the broader community to better understand Al technology and influence its trajectory.
In recent years, the AI technology that has arguably advanced the most is foundation models [Bommasani let al. 2021), headlined by the rise of language models (LMs; Peters et al., 2018 Devlin et al. 2019 Brown jet al. 2020 Rae et al. 2021 Chowdhery et al.) 2022). At its core, a language model is a box that takes in text and generates text (Figure D) Despite their simplicity, when these models are trained on broad data immense scale, they can be adapted (c.g. prompted or fine-tuned) myriad downstrcam scenarios. Yet the immense surface of model capabilities, limitations, and risks remains poorly understood. The rapid development, rising impact, and inadequate understanding demand that benchmark language models holistically.
But what does it mean to benchmark language models holistically? Language models are general-purpose text interfaces that could be applied across a vast expanse of seenarios. And for each scenario, we may have a broad set of desiderata; models should be accurate, robust, fair, efficient, and so on. In fact, the relative importance of these desiderata often will depend not only on the perspective and values one has, but the scenario itself (e.g. inference efficiency might be of greater importance in mobile applications).
We believe holistic evaluation involves three elements:
Broad coverage and recognition of incompleteness. Given language models' vast surface of capabilities and risks, we need to evaluate language models over a broad range of scenarios. Broadening the evaluation has been continuing trend in the NLP community, going from individual datasets such as SQuAD (Rajpurkar et al., 2016 small collections of datasets such SuperGLUE WWng et al.) 2019b) to large collections of datasets such as the GPT-3 evaluation suite (Brown) et al. 2020), Eleuther AI LM Harness (Gao et al. (0211), and BIG-Bench (Srivastava et al.) 2022
However, it is neither possible to consider all the scenarios nor all the desiderata that (could) pertain to LMs. Therefore, holistic evaluation should provide a top-down taxonomy and make explicit all the major scenarios and metrics that are missing.
Multi-metric measurement. Societally beneficial systems reflect many values, not just accuracy. Holistic evaluation should represent these plural desiderata, evaluating every desideratum for each scenario considered.
Standardization. Our object of evaluation is the language model, not a scenario-specific system. Therefore, in order to meaningfully compare different LMs, the strategy for adapting an LM to scenario should be controlled for. Furthermore, each LM should be evaluated on the same scenarios to the extent possible.
Overall, holistic evaluation builds transparency by assossing language models in their totality. Rather than honing in on a specific aspect, we strive for fuller charactorization of language models improve scientific understanding and orient societal impact.

The importance of the taxonomy to HELM. Previous language model benchmarks (e.g. Su- perGLUE, EleutherAl LM Evaluation Harness, BIG-Bench) are collections of datasets, each with a slandard task framing and canonical metric, usually accuracy (left). In comparison, in HELM we take a top-down approach of first explicitly stating what we want to evaluate (i.e. scenarios and metrics) by working through their underlying structure. Given this stated laxonomy, we make deliberate decisions on what subset we implement and evaluate, which makes explicit what miss (e.g. coverage of languages beyond English).
Figure 2:
1.1 HELM
Holistic Evaluation of Language Models (HELM) has two levels: (i) an abstract taxonomy scenarios and metrics to define the design space for language model evaluation and (ii) concrete set of implemented scenarios and metrics that were selected to prioritize coverage (e.g. different English varieties), value (e.g. user-facing applications), and feasibility (e.g. limited engineering resources).
Recognition of incompleteness. Benchmarks across AI, including those for language models like Su- perGLUE (Wang et al., 2019a), the AlcutherAT LM Harness (Gao et al. (022b), and BIG-bench (Srivastava) et al. 2022), are defined by specifie choices of scenarios and metries. Different benchmarks make different decisions on what to prioritize, how to make these decisions, and to what extent these processes are made clear in presenting the benchmark. Since our aim is holistic evaluation, we believe it is necessary be explicit on the relationship between what we aspire to evaluate and what we actually evaluate. The construction of HELM starts top-lown with a laxonomy over scenarios and metrics (see Figure 2 The (axonomy not only facilitates the systematic selection of scenarios and metrics, but also make explicit what missing, We view HELM as a living benchmark, and we hope that both the abstract taxonomy and the concrete selection of scenarios and metrics will evolve according to the technology, applications, and social concerns. Tn 510 MISSING we explicitly highlight evaluations HELM lacks that should be prioritized. Often these are ones the entire Al field has historically neglected.
Multi-metric measurement. HELM currently implements a core set of 16 scenarios and 7 (categories of) metrics. Our scenarios, which are triples of (task, domain, language), span user-facing tasks (e.g. question answering, information retrieval, summarization, toxicity detection), several domains (e.g. news, books), and currently only English (though we cover several English varieties such as African-American English and the English varieties spoken in different English-speaking countries). And our 7 categories of metrics reflect a range of societal considerations (i.e. accuracy, calibration, robustness, fairness, bias, toxicity, efficiency). We emphasize that while we have specific quantitative metrics for all of these considerations, they (e.g. fairness) are complex and contested social constructs that can be operationalized in many different ways. Consistent with our second element of holistic evaluation, we ensure our benchmark attains dense multi-metric measurement: of the 112 possible (core scenario, metric) pairs, we measure 98 (87.5%) as shown in Table A
We the core indicate that for this scenarios, we measure a range of metrics /dssieea/ The term cone is not to suggest that any specific scenario in this set more fundamental than scenarios outside the

technologies, which primarily center accuracy and often relegate other desiderata to their own bespoke datasets (if at all), in HELM we take a multi-metric approach. This foregrounds metrics beyond accuracy and allows one to study the tradeoffs between the metrics.
This melti-metric perspective conveys position we take on evaluation practices in AL. While most bench- marks primarily foreground accuracy, perhaps deferring the evaluation of other metrics (e.g. the extent to which models generate toxic content) to separate scenarios (e.g. RealToxicityPromptss integral that all of these metrics be evaluated in the same contexts where expect to deploy models (see Figure 3). In particular, measuring these 7 desiderata for the same scenarios makes explicit potential trade- offs and helps to ensure these dosidcrata are not treated as second-class citizens to accuracy (sec Friedman & Nissenbaum 1996).
believe it is
Targeted evaluations. In addition to our core set of 16 scenarios, where for each scenario we measure all categories metrics, HELM has targeted evaluations through 26 additional scenarios and accompanying metrics. These evaluations target linguistic understanding, world and commonsense knowledge, reasoning capabilitics, memorization and copyright, disinformation generation, biases, and toxicity generation, pro- viding deeper dive beyond the scenarios. This includes 21 scenarios that either entirely new (e.g. WikiFact) or that have not been used in mainstream language model evaluation (e.g. ICE). While HELM is oriented by a holistic approach that foregrounds socictal impact and is reflected in our multi- metric perspective, evaluation can also pinpoint specific phenomena lo advance scientific understanding (e.g. a model's ability to perform analogical reasoning; see [Bommasani et al., 2021 $4.4). For this reason, to make our evaluation results more intelligible, we separate the core scenarios from the targeted evaluations: the core scenarios and multi-metric measurement provide an integrated lens on models, whereas the targeted evaluations isolate specific skills and risks.
Standardization. To build a shared understanding existing language models, consistent with our third element of holistic evaluation, we benchmark 30 prominent language models on HELM. These models come from 12 organizations: AI21 Labs (c.g. J1-Jumbo v1 (178B)), Anthropic (Anthropic-LM v4-s3 (52B)), BigScience (e.g. BLOOM (176B)), Cohere (e.g. Cohere xlarge v20220609 (52.4B)), Al (e.g. GPT- NeoX (20B)), Google (e.g. UL2 (20B)), Meta (e.g. OPT (175B)), Microsoft/NVIILL (e.g. TNLG v2 (530B)), OpenAl (e.g. davinci (175B)), Tsinghua University (GLM (130B)), and Yandex (YaLM (100B)). Benchmarking these models is challenging given they vary in accessibility (see Liang et al. 2022): some are open (e.g. GPT-NeoX (20B)), some are limited-access (e.g. davinci (175B)), and some are closed (e.g. Anthropic-LM v4-s3 (52B)). In some cases, very little is known about how these models were built (e.g. the training data and its size are often not known), such as d02inciiinc.- What do know is that several of these models are deployed, either in external-facing commercial APIs (e.g. the OpenAl playground) products (c.g. Git Copilot). That is, several of these models are having direct social impact at present. The absence of an evaluation standard compromises the community's ability to clearly and rigorously understand the overall landscape of language models. To demonstrate how uneven language model evaluation has been, we annotated the datascts used to evaluate more than 40 language models (i.c. all models evaluated this work along with others like PaLM and Gopher) Appendix F We found major models such as T5 (11B) and Anthropic-TM v4-s3 (52B) were not evaluated single dataset in common in

Figure 4: Standardizing language model evaluation. Prior to our effort (top), the evaluation of language models was uneven. Several of our 16 core scenarios had models evaluated them, and only few scenarios (e.g. BoolQ, HellaSwag) had considerable number of models evaluated them. Note that this is cumulative: in the top plot, we not only document instances where the work introducing the model evaluated on a given scenario, but any subsequent work evaluated the model on the scenario (e.g. Tay et al. (2022a) in the paper on UL2 (20B) expanded the evaluation T5 (11B) to include HellaSwag and several other datasets) under any conditions (e.g. fine-tuning, 0-shot prompting, 5-shot prompting). After our evaluation (bottom), models are now evaluated under the same conditions on many scenarios.
their original works (Rallel el al. 2019 Askell et al. 2021 In fact, several models (e.g. J1-Grande v1 (17B). Cohere xlarge v20220609 (52.4B) YaLM (100B)) do not report any public results prior to our effort (to our knowledge). And even for datasots that are frequently evaluated for across all 405 datascts evaluated major language modeling works (e.g. HellaSwag; many of the datasets within GLUE and SuperGLUE), we find the evaluation conditions vary greatly. On HellaSwag, some prior work reports fine-tuned accuracies (e.g. T5 (11B)), whereas others report prompting accuracies (e.g. davinci (175B)) Even when works report results through few-shot prompting, the exact details can vary, which in 8.2 PROMPTING-ANALYSS we show leads to wild swings in accuracies (e.g. 30% to 80% for the same (model, scenario); see Zhao et al.
(021
Figure 4 we make explicit how our evaluation changes the status quo. Previously, on average models were evaluated on 17.9% of our core scenarios, even after compiling evaluations dispersed across different prior works. We improve this to 96.0%F1 By both evaluating these models the scenarios and by conducting the evaluation under standardized conditions (c.g. using the same fow-shot prompting for all models), we facilitate direct head-to-head comparisons.
The importance of adaptation. To benchmark these models, we must specify an adaptation procedure that uses the general-purpose language model to tackle a given scenario (see Bommasani et al.) 2021 $4.3). In this work, we adapt all language models through few-shot prompting, as pioneered by GPT-3 (Brown et al. 2020). Furthermore, opted choose relatively simple, generic prompts in order to orient the
WWe emphasize objective raising this point is not suggest that any individual work has evaluated improperly. In fact, for this case, few-shot prompting was not even popularized at the time of T5's writing. But, nonetheless, these models evaluated under very different conditions (c.g. number of examples used adaptation, ability have white-box model gradients update the model), even if they nominally evaluated the same scenario.

development of language models towards generic language interfaces that respond robustly to direct natural language, rather than requiring model-specific incantations Certainly stronger results could be obtained from more sophisticated prompting (e.g. chain-of-thouglts; |Wei et al.
2022c), prompt decomposition (Wu ct al. 2022 Press et al.) 2022 Arora et al.) 2022). , and prompt-tuning (esster et al. 2021: Li & Liang 2021)
potentially leading to qualitatively different findings (Suzgun et al. 2022). The exploration of adaptation
strategies another dimension of benchmarking which we leave to futurr work.
Caveats and considerations. Before presenting our empirical findings, we highlight three key consider- ations. First, while we standardize model evaluation, in particular by evaluating all models for the same scenarios, same metrics, and with the same prompts for 5-shot prompting, models themselves may be more suitable for particular scenarios, particular metrics, and particular poompts/adaptatiinn plicit, while some models may perform poorly under our evaluation, they may perform well in other contexts. Second, while the evaluation itsolf may be standardized, the computational resources required to train these models may be very different (e.g- resource-intensee models generally fare better in our evaluation); which is partially captured by our measurements of efficiency. Finally, models may also differ significantly in their exposure to the particular data distribution or evaluation instances use, with the potential for train-test contamination. We emphasize that we have limited understanding on how contaminated models are, and to what extent this compromises the validity and legitimacy of our evaluation, though we do provide all evidence we are aware of in Appendix G
methods. To be ex-
1.2 Empirical findings
To give sense of the magnitude of our evaluation, we ran a total of 4,939 runs (i.e. evaluating a specific model on specific scenario). This amounts to total cost of 12, 2,1,,,27,,491 tokens and 17,431,479 queries across all models, $38,001 for the commercial APIs, and about 19,500 GPU hours worth of compute for the open models.
Here summary of the high-level findings:
1. The benefits of instruction-tuning. Across the core scenarios, we find that text-davinci-002 performs best on our accuracy, robustness, and fairness metrics, with Anthropic-LM v4-s3 (52B) being the top 3 for all metries (despite being more than 10x smaller model scale compared to TNLG v2 (530B), which is the second most accurate and fair) as shown in Figure 26 Given the very strong performance of both models, and that they the only Instruction-tunce models evaluate (beyond the much smaller OpenAl model variants), this suggests instruction-tunin provides a broad set of advantages.
Relating model accuracy with model access. In light of the high accuracies of Anthropic-TM v4-s3 (52B) (closed), TNLG v2 (530B) (closed), and text-dawinci-002 (limited-access), we observe consistent gap on all core scenarios (Figure 28 between the current open models and non-open models. We emphasize that this gap reflects the current snapshot of models evaluate (Table 5 and that the gap could grow or shrink over time new models are released. On one hand, we see the recent release of open models (OPT (175B), BLOOM (176B), GLM (130B)) as greatly reducing the gap over the past year, but we also have not evaluated some non-open models (e.g. PaLM, Gopher) that we expect to be quite accurate, In either case, monitoring this gap over time is crucial for tracking the accessibility (or lack thercof) and ultimately the power dynamics associated with language models.
3. Calibration. We observe that the relationship between accuracy and calibration $ $4.4 CALIBRATION) depends on the scenario and adaptation procedure (Figure 24 example, for HellaSwag! improving accuracy worsens calibration, whereas for OpenBookQA improving accuracy improves calibration.

4. Robustness and fairness perturbations. Across all scenarios, we observe strong correlations between accuracy, robustness, and fairness, where robustness and fairness metrics consider worst-case accuracy over a set of perturbations (e.g. typos for robustness, dialect alteration for fairness) see 5 4.6 METRICS-FAIRNESS for more details. While there a strong
84.5 DETRICS-ROBUSTNEE
correlation between accuracy and fairness (Figure 24, Figure 25 we do observe trade-ofls where the most accurate model is not the most robust or most fair. We also see serious drops some cases: for example, on NarrativeQA, TNLG v2 (530B) precipitously drops from 72.6% standard accuracy (i.e. the third-most accurate model) to 38.9% accuracy in the presence of robustness perturbations
Performance disparities. When we have access to demographic metadata, we generally see consistent performance disparities for all models. As an example of racialized dialect disparities, OPT (175B) is the most accurate model on TwitterAAEI but its accuracy degrades from 1.506 bits per byte for White English to 2.114 bits per byte for African American English (lower is better)
Generative harms. We find that the biases and toxicity in model generations are largely constant across models and low overall on average for the core scenarios (Figure 24). However, note that even low levels of bias or toxicity could cause non-trivial social harm, and targeted evaluations needed to obtain a more detailed characterization
$ 5.6 TARGETED-BLE
5.7: TARGETED-TOXICITY
7. Accuracy vs. efficiency. We do not see a strong trade-off between accuracy and efficiency (which depends both the model architecture and the hardware, see $4.9) METRICS-EPFICIENCY across all 30 models (Figure 24). For each family of models (e.g. dilferent size variants of GPT-3), we find that as models become larger, accuracy consistently improves but with higher training and inference cost Lu Overall, we observe that only subset of all models (across model families) are on the eecuracy-efficieng Pareto frontier for each scenario.
8. Question answering. Across the 9 core question answering scenarios 33.3 QUESTIONANSWER ING. we observe significant heterogeneity in results, though rext-davinci-002 is the most accurate model for all 9 scenarios [ In fact, for 6 of the 9 scenarios, there is no open model among the three most accurate models, as generally they are text-davinci-002,, Authropic-LM v4-s3 (52B), and TNLG v2 (530B) in descending order of accuracy.
9. Information retrieval. We consider the classic task of ranking candidate passages given a query $3.4 INFORMATIONETTRIVAAL] The best- pest-performin models we evaluate outperform classical re- trieval methods and under some settings perform comparably to various fine-tuned neural retrievers, while nonetheless trailing the state of the art 12 Because the number of candidates could be large, we create LM request per passage, which requires the model to produce calibrated probabili- ties. Our use of LMs for passage ranking is unorthodox, and computationally intensive in its naive implementation, but we include it as a proof of concept.
10. Summarization. CNN/DailyMan
and XSUM have been standard benchmarks for summa- rization for many years, but find that automated evaluations these datascts largely fail to discriminale differences we observed in model quality.
11. Sentiment analysis. For sentiment analysis on IMDB, many models are quite accurate and well- calibrated with marginal drops on robustness and fairness perturbations, but the contrast. sets of Gardner et al. (2020) highlight clear limitations in model robustness (e.g. one of the most accurate
models in GLM (130B) drops by more than 8%) 13
12. Toxicity detection. For toxicity detection on CivilComments, we find that most models are not particularly accurate: OPT (175B) is one of the most accurate models across all scenarios

but achieves essentially chance accuracy at 50.1% 14 Critically, given the importance of fairness in toxicity detection due the disparate impacts of content moderation, we find that most models are similarly accurate for detecting toxicity in comments mentioning Black and White individuals. However, models vary greatly in their robustness: OPT (175B) drops from 51.3% standard accuracy to 8.8% robust, accuracy on the Black split, whereas the drop less precipitous on the White split (50.8% 24.3%).

14. Linguistic understanding. The trends in accuracy for language modeling are quite different from the trends for the core scenarios (Figure 26 In particular, GPT-NeoX (20B), OPT (175B), BLOOM (176B), GPT-J (6B), and OPT (66B) consistently have the lowest bits-per-byte (lower is better) on The Pile, AAA, and ICE. In terms of linguistic phenomena, all models perform fairly similarly on BLiMP overall, and further perform very similarly even on each of the specific subsets for morphology, syntax, semantics, and syntax-semantics. We see the widest spread on irregular forms (morphology), where surprisingly the models that lend to be the most. accurate for core scenarios (i.e. text-davinci-002 TNLG v2 (530B)) are some of the least accurate for irregular forms, perhaps suggesting they have overgencralized particular linguistic rules

Knowledge. text-davinci-002 demonstrates superior performance for all knowledge-intensive eval- uations 15] with very sizable gap for accuracy on TruthfulQA of 62.0% compared to second place of 36.2% from Anthropic-LM v4-s3 (52B) 19 Further, TNLG v2 (530B) shows strong performance the highly knowledggeintenssve generally concurs with the hypothesis that model scale especially contributes to improvements in acquisition of factual knowledge. For example, Authropic-LM v4-s3 (52B) and TNLG v2 (530B) tend to get very similar accuracies for most scenarios (as suggested by Figure 26), but TNLG v2 (530B) demonstrates a wide margin for these two scenarios (38.5% vs. 28.7% for NaturalQuestions (closed-book), 34.3% vs. 22.3% for WikiFact).
NaturalQuestions (closed-book) and WikiFact scenarios, which
16. Reasoning. For reasoning- intensive scenarios, we find that the code models, especially code-davinci- 002, consistently outperform the text models, even on synthetic reasoning scenarios posed natural language 20 This gap is made clear in mathematical reasoning: for GSM8K, code-davinci-002 achieves accuracy of 52.1%, where the next best model is text-davinci-002 at 35.0% and no other model surpasses 16% 2T Further, in addition to code-davinci-002. text-davinci-002 is much more accurate than other text models (e.g. 65.1% accuracy on synthetic reasoning in natural language, whereas the next most accurate text model is OPT (175B) at 29.4% accuracy, and code-davinci-002 has an accuracy of 72.7%).
17. Memorization of snwyriggheedliceenseee material. We find that the likelihood of direct regur- gitation of long copyrighted sequences is somowhat uncommon, but it does become noticeable when looking al popular books However, we do find the regurgitation risk clearly correlates with model accuracy: text-davinci-O00 davinci (175B), and Anthropic-LM v4-s3 (52B) demonstrate the highest amount of verbatim regurgitation in line with their high accuracies.

18. Disinformation. We find that the largest models (particularly text-davinci-002 and Anthropic-LM v4-s3 (52B)) are effective at generating realistic headlines that support a given thesis 23 but results are more mixed when prompting models to generate text encouraging people to perform certain actions (Table
19. Targeted biases. For BBQ, text-davinci-002 is the most accurate model by very wide margin (89.5% accuracy), with the next most accurate models (TO++ (11B), 48.4%; TNLG v2 (530B), 44.9% being the only other models with accuracies above 40%. We highlight this because we see a very striking relationship on BBQ between model accuracy and model bias for ambiguous contexts. These three models, which are the three most accurate, are the only three models with biases in ambiguous contexts that align with broader social biases/ diseeriiniiinn,,,on,,, whereas all other models show biases in the other direction (Figure 40p. In other words, find that for BBQ the most accurate models are precisely those that are most concerning for social biases in ambiguous contexts, though the trends in disambiguated contexts are less clear.
20. Targeted toxicity generation. For the core scenarios, observed the rate of toxicity generation was quite low. Honing in on toxicily generation, all models show much stronger lendencies for toxic generations for toxic prompts in RealToxicity prompts in both RealToxicityPrompte and BOLD 25 Understanding how these trends change based on the automated toxicity delection model used (currently PerspectiveAPI), as well as when human judgments from diverse stakcholders are used, is a key area for future work.
as compared to relatively non-toxic
21. Comprehensiveness.
By evaluating under unified conditions extensively, we expose findings lying in plain sight. In other words, while in many cases we are evaluating models that are available publicly on datascts that are available publicly, we nonetheless surface new findings. As an example, we find text-davinci-002 achieves an accuracy of 74.4% ROUGE-L on NarrativeQA, which sets a new state-of frate-of-theeart across all methods to our knowledge, in this case over the strong QA-specialized UNIFIEDAA-v2 model (67.4% ROUGE-L; Khashabi et al. 2022
22. Prompting. All models show significant sensitivity to the formatting of prompt, the particular choice of in-context examples, and the number of in-context examples across all scenarios and for all In this elfort, we consistently work lowards standardizing
PROMPTING-ANALYY metrics (see 1oee88.2 8..2 these dimensions (e.g. to ensure models are interoperable/ interpprable/peefrmmat pprrformant using the same prompting practices), but current models differ in what prompting docisions would maximize accuracy!
26
23. Multiple choice adaptation method. We find that model performance is extremely sensitive to how multiple choice scenarios are adapted into prompts: for example, accuracy for OPT (175B) on HellaSwag is 79.1% when each answer choice is presented in a separate 0-shol prompt (i.e. one of the most accurate models), but drops precipitously to 30.2% (almost random accuracy) when the answer choices are presented jointly exam) Further, even for the same scenario, the adaptation method that maximizes accuracy can differ (and produce qualitatively different results) across models (Figure 33 This poses fundamental challenge for what it means to standardize language model evaluation in fair way across models.

24. Upstream perplexity and downstream accuracy. Given the myriad scenarios where LMs could provide value, it would be appealing for many reasons if upstream perplexity language modeling objectives reliably predicted downstream accuracy. Unfortunately, when making these comparisons across model familics, even when using bits-per-byte (BPB; which is more comparable than perplexity), we find this type of prediction does not work well: BPB on The Pile a poor predictor of downstream accuracy (Figure 30) though we note some models are trained on The Pile whereas others are not (Table 13 More broadly, given the many downstream results, we encourage

future work to explore new iutrinsic/upstreenn surrogate measures of performance that can be shown to reliably predict downstream results (including for desiderata beyond accuracy) as discussed in Bommasani et al. (2021 $4.4.2)
25. Trends for model scale. We find that model scale, within model family, reliably predicts model accuracy, but for no scenario is good predictor of downstrcam accuracy across all models (Figure 29h. However, we see very clear thresholding effect: all models that win head-to-head model comparisons for accuracy at a rate well above chance (i.e. > 55%) are at least 50B parameters (Figure 26 Of these models, which are the 10 most accurate models, some of the most accurate (i.e. in the top 5) are the smallest (Authropie-LM v4-s3 (52B), Cohere xlarge v20220609 (52.4B)). Overall, scale seems to be a key determinant of accuracy, and scaling within a model family reliable improves accuracy, but it might be inefficient compared to other means (e.g. training with human feedback; compare TNLG v2 (530B) and Authropic-LM v4-s3 (52B)).
1.3 Contributions
To summarize, our contributions are:
1. Taxonomy. We laxonomize the vast design space of language model evaluation into scenarios and metrics. By stating this taxonomy, we can select systematically from this space, which makes explicit both our priorities in benchmark design and the limitations in the benchmark at present (see 10 MISSING
2. Broad coverage. Given our taxonomy, we select and implement 16 core scenarios, for which we comprehensively measure 7 metrics (accuracy, calibration, robustness, fairness, bias, toxicity, efficiency). We also include 7 targeted evaluations of skills and risks (e.g. knowledge, reasoning, disinformation, copyright), introducing 21 new scenarios that have not been previously used mainstream language model evaluation.
3. Evaluation of existing models. We evaluate 30 language models under the standardized condi- tions of our benchmark, ensuring models can now be directly compared across many scenarios and metrics. These models vary in terms of their public accossibility: 10 are open, 17 are limited-access, and closed.
4. Empirical findings. Our extensive evaluation yields a host of findings S
EXPERIMENTS which in some cases reinforce findings in the literature and in others produce new knowledge about today's language models. These results offer guidance for future language model development and ample opportunities for further analysis.
5. Interactive results and codebase. We provide a public website with all results, underlying model predictions and adaptation details, along an extensible codebase to support the community in taking HELM further 28
Acknowledging the prior work this effort builds on. To build our holistic evaluation of language models, we directly build on top of many prior works. While we advocate for evaluating language models in their totality, iee centralizing many disparate evaluations, we want to be explicit that the underlying works across the AI community should be recognized and cited, as HELM would not exist in its current form without them. In particular, if the results of HELM are used by future work new models are evaluated on HELM, they should cite the works that created the many datasets cotissttt//valaationn /evaluations that constitute HELM 29 For this reason, provide the BibTeXX entries for all of these works in the codebase 30 and explicitly acknowledge the associated work for every evaluation on the website 3T

2 Preliminaries
We introduce the basic primitives (scenario, adaptation, metric) required to evaluate language model (Figure 5 models.
With these primitives, we then provide a roadmap for how we holistically evaluate language
2.1 Scenarios
A scenario instantiates desired use case for language model. Useful language models performant variely of scenarios: scenarios are what we want models to do. While practical use cases for language models involve other factors, we operationalize scenarios through list of instances, divided into a training set and one or more test sets. Each instance consists of (i) an input (a string) and (ii) a list of references. Each reference a string annotated with properties relevant for evaluation (e.g. is it correct or acceptable?). See Figure for an example scenario.
2.2 Adaptation
Adaptation is the procedure that transforms language model, along with training instances, into sys- tem that can make predictions on new instances. Examples of adaptation procedures include prompting, lightweight-fnnetuiing and finetuning; we focus on prompting in this work.
We define a language model to be a black box that takes as input a prompl (string), along with decoding parameters (c.g. temperature). The model outputs a completion (string), along with log probabilities of the prompt and completion. We do not assume access to the internal model activations or its training data, which reflects the practical reality of API access available to researchers (Liang al. 2022 In fact, we do not even make any assumptions about how the language model is constructed. See Figure for how we adapt the example scenario from Figure B
Viewing language models as text-to-text abstractions is important for two reasons: First, while the prototyp- ical LM currently a dense Transformer trained on raw text, LMs could also use an external document store Lewis al. 2220c). issue search queries on the web (Nakano al.) 2021), be trained on human prefer- Ouyang et al. 2022 Bai et. al. 2022). We wish to remain agnostic to these implementation details.

Figure 7: Adaptation. During adaptation, we construct a prompt for each evaluation instance which may include in-context training instances as well. Given decoding parameters, language model generates a completion (in red). The multiple choice example is shown using two different adaptation strategies that we describe subsequently, with left version being the joint strategy (all answer choices presented at once) and the right version being the separate strategy (each answer choice is presented separately).
Second, the text-to-text abstraction is a convenient general interface that can capture all the (text-only) tasks of interest, an idea that was pioneered by McCann et al. (2018) and Raffel et al. (0019)
2.3 Metrics
Once language model is adapted, we execute the resulting system on the evaluation instances for each scenario, yielding completions with their log probabilities. To determine how well the model performs, we compute metrics over these completions and probabilities. Metries concretely operationalize the rast desiderata we require of useful systems. See [4 METRICS for more details. The metrics we compute for our running example (Figure 0 might look like this:
Fxact match
0.571
ECE (10-bin)
0.221
Exact match (robustness)
0.551
Exact match (fairness)
0.524
Inference runtime
0.147
2.4 Roadmap
To evaluate a language model, we must specify a series of runs, where each run defined by (scenario, adaptation method, metric) triple. Each of these scenarios, adaptation, and metrics define a complicated and structured space, which implicitly navigates to make decisions in evaluating language model. Central to our approach to holistic evaluation is that make both the space and the decision explicit. In |3 CORE-SCENARIOS and [4 METRICS] we first taxonomize both spaces and then systematically select points from the spaces. This specifies our abstract aspiration and our concrete implementation, which together define HELM. Distinguishing these steps also helps clarify what fundamentally possible vs. what we, as a specific collective benchmark designers, chose to prioritize and emphasize. Then, we evaluate models by making specific choice for adaptation procedure (i.e. 5-shot prompting), though we emphasize many other adaptation procedures could be considered.
3 Core scenarios
We taxonomize scenarios as shown Figure based on (i) task (e.g. question answering, summarization), which characterizes what. want system to do; (ii) domain (e.g. Wikipedia 2018 dump), which

Figure 8: Scenario structure. Scenarios are what we want the language model to do. To specify a scenario, break it down into a lask, domain, and language, further subdividing the domain into properties of the text (what), speaker (who), and the sime/cireunstaness (when). Examples of scenarios include (question answering, (clinical notes, doctors, now), English) and (voxicity detection, (tweets, Egypt, Internet-era), Arabic).
characterizes the lype of data we want the system do well on; and (iii) the language or language variety (e-g- Spanish). Tasks, domains, and languages not atomic unambiguous constructs: they can be made coarser and finer, but we use them as intuitive structure for the space of scenarios. Given this structure, we deliberately select scenarios based on three overarching principles: (i) coverage of the space, (ii) minimality of the set of selected scenarios, and (iii) prioritizing scenarios that correspond to user-facing lasks. Alongside feasibility given our resources (which we explicitly acknowledge), this defines the core scenarios we evaluate on, which we will measure all metrics on. In @IO.1; MISSING-SCENARIR we highlight regions of the scenario space that we taxonomize but do not currently cover in our benchmark/ caatmmmark//ceeratia scenario selection.

Table Taxonomy of tasks. To taxonomize the space of tasks, we leverage the NLP community's taxonomy of subarcas codified by the ACL 2022 list of tracks. For each track, we then expand it into canonical tasks associated with that track.
Tasks. Given the ubiquity of natural language, the field of natural language processing (NLP) considers myriad tasks that correspond to language's many functions (Jurafsky & Martin 2000). It difficult to derive a space of tasks from first principles, so we compile existing sources of tasks. Naturally, given NLP is a task-centric field, we begin with tasks that have been extensively studied by the NLP community. To generate this set, take the tracks at major NLP conference (ACL. 2022), which reflect the "relevant

to make this process manageable.
While these tasks often have long traditions of study in the NLP research community, we make two obser- vations: (i) these tasks often have important intra-task structure (e.g. we refer to all of question answering as one "task", whereas the QA community likely would further decompose QA into finer-grained categories [Rogers et al.] 2021b) and (ii) while these tasks have (long) traditions study in NLP research, they are impactful, tasks.
not the only, or even the most
For example, the deployment of language models interfaces by OpenAI, Cohere, and AT21 Labs has introduced use cases beyond what the NLP community has historically studied (see Figure and compare to Table D In fact, some of these tasks are fundamentally new: the advent of sufficiently capable technology motivates the consideration of tasks that were not previously conceived (or conceived as within scope for algorithmic systems). Further, these tasks pattern quite differently from what has been traditionally studied in the NLP and AT research communities (see/Ouyang et al., 2022). This introduces a fundamental challenge stating the space of tasks: we will not be able to conceive of the true full space of tasks until we see tochnology that makes consider these tasks. And, more broadly, even articulating (Iet alone covering) the long tail of known potential use cases remains open.
Domains. Domains are familiar construct in NLP, yet their imprecision complicates systematic coverage of domains. We further decompose domains according to 3 W's:
1. What (genre): the type of text, which captures subject and register differences. Examples: Wikipedia, social media, news, scientific papers, fiction.
2. When (time period): when the text was created. Examples: 1980s, pre-Internet, present day (e.g. does it cover very recent data?)
3. Who (demographic group): who generated the data or who the data is about. Examples: Black- /White, men/ wwmmn, children/clderly.

The world's languages. Only a tiny percentage of the world's languages are currently reprosented in language models. There over 6,000 languages in the world, with estimates varying due to the inherent uncertainly of what constitutes separate language (Nordholf & Hammarstrom 2011 This map shows the languages of the world, with each dot representing one language and its color indicating the top-level language family. Data is from Glottolog (Hammarström et al. 2021). Figure and caption sourced from Bommasani et al. (0021 $2.1).
Figure 10:
We do not include where the text was created (e.g. country) and how was created (e.g. hand-writtens typed, transcribed from speech or sign), but these may also be relevant. Further, why the text was created is closely related to what it is. To be precise, textual data in the input to the language model (e.g. the question or the passage, if available, in question answering) and the answer (e.g. the summary in summarization) have associated domains that are not necessarily the same. For simplicity, we will assume dataset has single domain corresponding to propertics of its inputs, though it would be more precise to consider domains associated with all aspects of the input and output.
Languages. The billions of people around the world speak thousands of different languages (see Figure 10 However, in Al and NLP, the vast majority of work has centered on a few high-resourced languages (e.g. English, Chinese), even including languages that have large speaker populations (e.g. there are more than million speakers of Fula, a West African language, but few if any NL.P resources exist. for Fula; Nguer ctt al. 2020). With this in mind, we do not extensively taxonomize the world's languages, as we will focus on predominantly evaluating English-only models (with few exceptions like BLOOM (176B) that clearly multilingual but evaluate only for English). Consequently, English varieties and dialects. In this regard, we note there are several axes of interest in linguistic typology and sociolinguistics; we point to Bommasanní et al. 2021 $2.1) and Joshi et al. 2020 for further discussion.
instead turn our focus to coverage of
3.2 Selection
As a matler of coverage, ideally, we would evaluate a language model on every scenario (i.e. every (task, domain) pair). However, as we demonstrate in our taxonomy, both tasks and domains themselves are rich and expansive spaces. For this reason, rather than striving for coverage of scenarios, we instead aim for coverage of tasks, domains, and languages each independently. This risks not exposing important interactions (e.g. we may be especially interested in toxicity detection for text authored by marginalized groups (Sap et al.

Published in Transactions on Machine Learning Research (08/2023)
2019a)), but is a decision we make for practical reasons (e.g. availability of datasets, effort to implement scenarios, and computational resources to evaluate LMs on chosen scenarios).
Tasks. To select tasks, we begin with the set we described previously. Since we are studying English language models, we filter infeasible tasks (e.g. multimodal tasks or machine translation are not suitable for unimodal English language models) 33 Of the remaining lasks, we elect to prioritize user-fucing tasks: we believe these tasks will confer much of the direct social impact of language models and aligns with our perspective of language models as interfaces. Consequently, we filter tasks based on our judgments of what is user-ffcingg This yields the following tasks: question answering, information retrieval, sunmarization, 35 And to provide some coverage of the long tail of tasks, we include miscellaneous text classification, which represents the non-standard text classification use cases for language technologics historically and at present for language models.
sentiment analysis, and toricity detection
Domains and Languages. Given that we found it more complicated to arrive at an explicit enumera- tion of domains compared to tasks 30 we instead focus on domain coverage during our selection of specific datasets to instantiate scenarios. Similarly, we ensure coverage of the English varieties of different English- speaking countries as well as African American English through targeted evaluations that we discuss in 5.1 LANGUAGE In doing so, we also demonstrate our desire for a minimal set of evaluations (both because eva evaluations have costs, so larger sets will be more unwieldy, and producing more results often comes at the cost of clarity on how to sift through them). With this in mind, we emphasize that for large regions of the scenario space, specifically in relation to domains (e.g. scenarios involving text written by elderly speakers), there exist very few, if any, datasets in NLP. We hope the community can build on our work by ensuring greater coverage of the domains and scenarios we did nol cover in our benchmark by building the necessary and oft-undervalued resources (Jo & Gebru, 2020 Paullada et al., 2021 Rogers 2021 Jernite al. 2022). To facilitate this, we explicitly identify specific scenarios that we recommend prioritizing in g 10.1] MISSING- SCENARIOS] We also note that there is more to a dataset than just these axes, which determine how well it operationalizes the desired use case (e.g. the quality of crowd-sourced labels in the dataset). Having settled on the tasks we will cover and our approach to domain/languasn coverage, we detail how we selected the particular datasets for each scenario.
3.3 Question answering
Question answering (QA) is a fundamental task in NLP that underpins many real-world applications in- cluding web search, chatbots, and personal assistants. QA is very broad in terms of the questions that can be asked and the skills that are required to arrive at the answer, covering general language understanding LANGUAGE), integration of knowledge (5.2) KNOWLEDGE and reasoning $5.3 REASONING) (Gardner
[55.1
et al.
2019 Rogers el al. 2021).
Problem setting. In QA, given a question (e.g. "Where was the painter of the Mona Lisa born?"), the task is to predict the correct answer ("Italy"). The format of question answering may have some variations: in the open-book or reading comprehension setting, additional context to refer to, such as supporting documents
We do note that various works have shown these models can achieve nontrivial performance on multimodal tasks (with modalities beyond text) and on other languages (especially as some of these models, most notably BLOOM (176B), GLM (130B), and YaLM (100B) are trained on sizable datasets in other languages). With that said, we expect that multimodal or multilingual approaches would be more appropriate to achieve reasonable performance for these tasks compared to these models, so we defer such evaluation to future work.
3*We emphasize that this docs not mean we believe the other tasks are less important nor that they should not be evaluated for in future work.
35We note that our interpretation of what is user-facing namely excludes tasks that are generally not the subject of applications (e.g. natural language inference) as well as many classical NLP tasks that served as intermediaries (Jursfaky & Martin 2000 in traditional NLP pipelines (e-g, named entily recugnition, part-of-spechh lagging, syntactic parsing, information extraction). We also do not study interactive tasks such as dialogue, which will be discuss in forthcoming companion work associated with this affort (Le et al.) Fortheoming).
36Though we note could be attempted by proposing a taxonomy for each of the W's we consider and then taking the resulting Cartesian product.

Datasets and selection process. There are hundreds of question-answering datasets available in NLP, with rapid increase in the number of datasets in recent years (Rogers et al., 2021). To select question- answering datasets, we prioritized (i) domain coverage, in terms of the domain of the (ii) coverage of component skills required for the datasets (e.g. we deliberately ensured of datasets that required commonsense knowledge and reasoning).
and
(Kwiatkowski et al. 2019 NarrativeQA (Kočisky et al. 2017 and QuAC (Choi al., 2018) datasets to ensure domain coverage as these datasets cover web search queries, stories, and conversational questions (i.e. dialogue) respectively. NaturalQuestions consists of questions from queries to Google search and annotations from Wikipedia; we consider both open-book and closed-book variants of Natural NaturalQuestions Questions. NarrativeQA tests reading comprehension through the understanding of books and movie scripts. QuAC (Question Answering in Context) provides freeform questions and answers which are more open-ended and dependent on context.
We selected the NaturalQuestions
To these, we add the HellaSwag (Zellers et al. 2019), OpenBookQA (Mihaylov et al., 2018), and Truth- fulQA ŞLin al., 2021b) datasets ensure coverage of commonsense knowledge and reasoning. Hel- laSwag tests commonsense inference and created through adversarial filtering to synthesize wrong answers. OpenBookQA is based open book exams, with collection of basic science facts and crowd-sourced multiple-choice questions to test understanding and application of these facts. Truth- fulQA tests model truthfulness through questions that align with common human misconceptions, spanning law, medicine, finance, and politics, among others, that were adversarially generated using davinci (175B) as the target model.
To further ensure broad coverage of knowledge-intenste question answering across many disciplines, we add the MMLU (Hendryeks et al. 2021c) beethbbnn of 57 constituent datasets. MMLU (Measuring Massive Multitask Language Understanding) measures multitask accuracy and includes a diverse set of 57 tasks, testing problem solving and general knowledge.
Finally, we add BoolQ (Clark et al. 2019) which, in addition to QuAC, was used to study model robustness to equivariances due to the available contrast set (Gardner et al. 2020 BoolQ is collection binary yes/no questions generated through the same process as NaturalQuestions.
3.4 Information retrieval
Information retricval (IR), which refers to the class of tasks concerned with scarching large unstructured collections (often lezt collections), is central to numerous user-facing applications. IR has long tradition of
study (Salton & Lesk 1965 [aatton 1971 Spärck Jones 1972: Salton & McGill 1983 Manning et al.) 2008 Lin et al. 2021a) and is one of the most widely deployed language technologics. It powers the Web and c-
commerce search, and serves as key component many knowledgo-intensive NLP systems for open-domain
question answering or fact checking.

Figure 12: Example of information retrieval (passage ranking). An example instance for information retrioval from MS MARCO.
We focus here on the passage ranking lask: given a query and a large corpus C of passages, systems must output a list of the top-k passages from C' in decreasing "relevance" to q. We specifically study this in the context of re-ranking: since is typically extremely large (c.g. |C| > 10M passages), we consider only ranking the top-k passages among a set retrieved for q (i.e. (()) where [M()) < (CI) by an efficient external retrieval mechanism (e.g. BM25; Robertson & Zaragoza 2009
IR differs fundamentally from the other tasks consider in this work, as each test example (i.e. a query) entails processing a large set of passages and will likely invoke the LM numerous times to do so 37 Because of this, IR tasks have received very little attention in the few-shot in-context learning with language models, with the exception of the recent zero-shot approach by Sachan et al. (2022
Problem setting. We address the re-ranking task in a pointwise fashion: we formulate the information retrieval problem using prompting as binary log- log-probability problem, similar to Nogucira & Cho (2019): Given a passage e and query 9, ask the model whether the passage contains answer to the query. If the model's answer is Yes with a high probability, we rank the corresponding G higher, while the No answer with high probability achieves the opposite. Figure 12 depicts an example instance. The rankings produced are then evaluated using standard information retricval metrics.
Datascts and selection process. We demonstrate the information retrieval task using the MS MARCO ranking datasets. While it is originally question answering task, the retrieval version of MS MARCO is the largest publicly available collection of relevance judgments and has been central to much of the progress in neural IR over the past several years (Lin et al. 2021a)
We use the original passage ranking dataset accompanying the public MS MARCO leaderboard 38 Nguyen
et al. 2016 henceforth, the regular track) and the dataset from the TREC 2019 Deep Learning track (Craswell et al. [2200] henceforth, the TREC track). Both datasets evaluate retrieval out of a collection of 9M passages from the Web. The regular track contains a large number of queries (c.g., over 500,000 training set queries) with sparse relevance judgments: on average, annotators identify only one "positive" (relevant) passage for each query, and every other passage is assumed to be a negative. In contrast to this, the TREC track contains only 43 queries that are more rigorously annotated, with over 9,000 query passage pairs with associated relevance judgments corresponding to the 43 queries.
3.5
Summarization
Text summarization is an established research direction in NLP (Luhn 1958 Mani 1999 Spärck Jones 1999 Nenkova & McKeown 2012), with growing practical importance given the ever- wver-inceeasing volume of text that would benofit from summarization. To effectively summarize, systems must identify and yicld the core relevant and informative content the source document while removing less critical information and avoiding redundancy (Peyrard. 2019). The rise of language models in recent years has dramatically
37 Effectively, this means that model outputs come from very large combinatorial space: they are much more constrained than open-cuded gencration tasks but much less than standard classification tasks, sctting this secuario apart from many others in terms of automatic evaluation. 36 htttps://mirrooor .eeit.ggitttt ficbubb.i//smmrro/

improved summarization capabilities: the ability to generate fluent and coherent human- like text serves as a core primitive towards building better summarization systems (Lewis al. 2020b; Zhang et al., 2019b).
Problem setting. We formulate text summarization as an unstructured sequence-lo-ssquuene problem, where a document (e.g. CNN news article) is the input and the LM is tasked with generating summary that resembles the reference summary (e.g. the bullet point summary provided by CNN with their article). Figure 13 provides an example. This evaluation tests the abstructive summarization capabilities of the model, where the model is directly required to generate the summary rather than being explicitly constrained to copying words or larger extracts from the input document.
To evaluate model performance, the model-generated summary is compared against a erence summary using automated metrics for overall quality (ROUGE-2: Score; Lin 2004: Zhang et al. 2020b), faithfulness (Laban et al. 2022 Fabbri et al., 2022), and extractiveness (Grusky et al. 2018). Faith- fulness refers to whether all the information in the model summary is supported by the article (Cao et al.,
ref-
2018 Durmus et al. 2020 Maynez et al. 2020). Extractiveness refers to the extent to which model summaries involving copying from the input document: the distinction between extractive and abstractive approaches has been widely discussed in the summarization literature (see Nenkova McKeown, (0012). We compute extractiveness since prior work has shown that current summarization systems tend to be less faithful, on average, whenever they extract less (Durmus et al. 2020: Mrini et al. 2021 Ladhak et al. 2022).
We pay special altention to faithfulness as neural models in particular often hallucinate content that diverges from what appears in the document being summarized. Consequently, it is important to measure and improve the faithfulness of these systems since unfaithful systems may be harmful by potentially spreading misinformation, including dangerous, yet hard to detect errors, when deployed in real-world settings. We evaluate the LMs using recently proposed reference-free evaluation metrics that have been shown to get high correlations with human scores for faithfulness (Laban et al. [022 Fabbri et al.) (0022). We note recent work has shown that some referenco-free evaluation metrics may be mostly relying spurious correlations Durmus al. 2022
Datasets. There is a growing collection of summarization datasets, including datasets that capture finer- grained and more specific summarization functions (e.g. summarizing multiple documents or conditional on a user query). Bommassni & Cardie (020) show that there is significant diversity summarization datasets along several axes, which makes selecting few datasets to represent summarization rather chal- lenging. Since we are especially interested model faithfulness in this work (as this is a known failure mode of other neural approaches to summarization), we select the CNN ENN/DailyMiil (Hermann et al. 2015a) and XSUM (Narayan et al.) 2018) datasets, which are the most well-studied datasets in the literature on summarization faithfulness. This also ensures domain coverage of news-type data. Importantly, these datasets differ along a central axis studied in summarization: XSUM is a dataset with largely abstractive reference summaries (meaning the string overlap between the document and its summary in the dataset is relatively small on average), whereas CNN/DailyMail maries. However, these datasets do not suffice in representing the full diversity of sumnarization, and we encourage future work to expand on our benchmark along this axis (e.g. add datasets from domains beyond

3.6 Sentiment analysis
Sentiment analysis is iconic task in NLP (sce Jurafsky & Martin 2000 $4) that has led to widespread deployment in finance, health, social media, with applications in many sectors in relation to customer reviews of products and services (Pang & Leel 2008). Since its popularization by Turney (2002) and [aang et al. 2002), sentiment analysis has blossomed into its own subarea in the field with many works broadening and deepening the study of sentiment from its initial binary text-classificttion framing (Wiebe et al. 2005
McAuley et. al. 2012
Socher al. 2013 Nakov et al., 2016 Potts et al. 2021
Problem setting. Given an input sequence (e.g. "Caddyshack does NO justice for the caddysack. thin plot ... movie should have been destroyed when the script was written.),, the goal of sentiment analysis is to predict the sentiment label ("Negative"). Figure 14 provides example.
Datasets and selection process. Numerous datasets have been put forth for sentiment analysis, includ- ing incrcasingly fine-grained and complex datasets in recent years (cf. Potts et al. 2021 Of these, only for practical reasons due to engineering resources to implement scenarios, we elected to only include one sentiment analysis dataset. Of the available sentiment analysis datasets, we selected the IMDB dataset (Maas et al. 2011), as it had the unique resource of a contrast set (Gardner et al. 2020), which enables the measurement of robustness to equivariances (which we found difficult to measure otherwise). IMDB is constructed from TMDB movie reviews, where users rate movies from 1-10. These ratings are discretized to binary space, with reviews with a score at most 4 being labeled negative and reviews with a score at least 7 being labeled positive. As discussed in Potts al. (2021). emphasize that sentiment analysis is more diverse and can be more complex: we encourage future work to expand on our benchmark along this axis (e.g. add datasets from domains where sentiment analysis is actively deployed).
3.7 Toxicity detection
Toxicity detection (and the related tasks of hate speech and abusive language detection) is the task of identifying when input data contains toxic content, which originated due to the need for content moderation on the Internet (Schmidt& & Wiegand 2017 Rauh et al. 2022p. Automated detection of toxic content has become increasingly critical to content moderation policies at major companics and social media platforms such as Meta, Twitter, and Reddit, including recent deployments that center language models both the task's framing and the deployment of automated systems for the task has been the subject of intense debate: critiques of the task have noted that (i) the study of toxicity overly reductive and divorced from use cases (Diaz al.) 2022), (ii) standard datasets often lack sufficient context to make reliable judgments Paaloooullos et al. 2020; Hovy & Yang 2021), and (iii) the construct of toxicity depends on the annotator

group membership as well as notions of social status and privilege, such that their interpretation causes disproportionate impact to members of marginalized groups (Welbl et al. 2021].
We emphasize that the stakes for toxicity detection are as high as they can be. Failures in content moderation due to failures toxicity detection have contributed to scrious human rights violations (such as the Rohingya genocide in Myanmar; SSteckow 2018 BSR 2018: Council 2018) and have put democracies around the world under stress (Persily & Tucker 2020 Some of these failures have been attributed to an absence of human moderators with sufficient linguistic and cultural competence in the countries and communities where risks of ethnic conflict arisc. Given language models' subpar performance in languages that are not dominant in the field of machine learning, there is a legitimate concern that automated moderation could exacerbate the problem.
Problem setting. Akin to sentiment analysis, for toxicity detection we consider the binary classification problem of determining whether the input sequence (e.g. "Russ Newell please show me where the K12 education has been 'gutted'. Simply preposterous.") is or is not toxic. We directly ask the model to determine if the text is toxie by prompting with "Question: Is the passage above toxic?", where we the term "toxic" to match the classification category used to label the data. An example is provided in Figure 15
Datasets and selection process. In recent years, growing collection of toxicity detection datasets has emerged. Of these, we choose the CivilComments dataset (Borkan et al. 2019b) from the WILDS bench- mark (Koh et al. 2021). ). Specifically, when compared with other comparable toxicity detection datasets, the dataset includes metadata annotations on the data subjects that are mentioned in the text (and, therefore, the recipients of toxicity). This allows us to measure performance disparities with respect to several demo- graphic groups and categories that was otherwise difficult, which is especially important given the subjective nature of toxicity (Sap et al. 2019a Gordon et al. 2022). CivilComments uses comments from the Civil Comments platform from 2015 2017, with comments drawn from 50 English- news sites across the world.
3.8
Miscellaneous text classification
Text classification and categorization refers to the family of NLP tasks where an input sequence (e.g. sen- tence, document) is assigned label. Text classification has long history in NLP (see Yang & Pedersen 1997 Yang 1999 Joachims 1998 Aggarwal & Zhai 2012) with tasks such as language identification, senti- ment analysis, topic classification, and toxicity detection being some of the most prominent tasks within this family. However, beyond these prominent tasks, there is a long and growing tail of miscellaneous text clas- sification tasks with use cases throughout socicty 40 While not all of these tasks have established traditions and literatures in academia, we expect these tasks comprise an important class evaluations for assessing the practical utility of language models.
Problem setting. Akin to sentiment analysis, the input will be a text sequence (e.g. "Query: withdrew cash and I think the exchange rate is wrong.") and the output will be categorical label ("wrong exchange rate for cash withdrawal") that the model is expected to directly predict.

toxicity detection, since the tasks do not necessarily correspond to a term and may be more complex (e.g. classify banking customer service queries), we provide further instructions that designate the task (e.g. identify the text a banking customer service query and the model should classify into one of the 77 provided categorics). An example provided in Figure 16
Datasets and selection process. Unlike other tasks, essentially by construction, it is near- cear-impossible to enumerate, let alone represent, all the non-standard text classification tasks that are useful. For this reason, we turn to RAFT (Alex et al., 2021). which is collection of 11 ecologically-vale cations: adverse drug effect detection (ADE), banking customer service query classification (Banking77), harmful applications detection in NeurIPS impact statements (NeurIPS), classification of level of adult En- glish (OneStopEnglish) detection of overruling in legal statements (Overruling), institution classification of semiconductor organizations (Semiconductorr) classification of papers that advance past screening for char- itable donations (SystematicReview)) classification of transformative artificial intelligence research (TAT), detection of unfair terms of service (ToS), hate speech detection of Tweets (TwwetEvvllHatte) and complaint detection in Tweets (TweetCoomplanns)) By design, these tasks in RAFT are naturally-occurring which helps identify use cases where language models may be deployed. Since the labels for the full test set are private, we hold out a subset of the public training set for evaluation.

4 General metrics
To taxonomize the space of desiderata, we begin by enumerating criteria that are sought after for useful systems. More precisely, these specify categories or families of metrics (e.g. the category of accuracy contains several specific metrics/quantitativv functions such exact match and F1-score). From these categories, further taxonomize based the requirements needed to appropriately mcasure the construct (e.g- interpretability generally requires more than blackbox access to model). Given this fine-grained taxonomy, we select all metrics where we can satisfy the requirements for all of the models we evaluate in this work (c.g. no assumption of knowledge about a broader context that situates the model). To operationalize the selected desiderata as quantitative metrics, we emphasize that we prioritize scalability: we measure these desiderata whenever possible, which means our measurement agnostic to the specifics of each scenario. For example, broaden the scenarios where we measure fairness, instead of assuming access to demographic information, which is not available for most datasets, instead consider cetturbation-basee methods which allow for broader coverage possibly at the cost of specificity/acne of the measurements.
4.1 Taxonomy
What does it mean for system to be useful? Too often in AI, this has come to mean the system should be accurate in an average sense. While (average) accuracy is an important, and often necessary, property for a system (Raji et al.) 2022). accuracy is often not sufficient for a system to be useful/desirabll As a community grounded in a plurality of values, we should determine system performance by considering how systems profile along these many axes.
To enumerate set of desiderata, akin to our set for tasks, we began by considering desiderata studied in the NLP community. Unfortunately, while many of the desiderata we independently came up with are

For each conference, we looked at the call for papers or any lists of areas of study: we map the listod areas to desiderata studied in the associated community (Table 2 The union of all the desiderata listed is the space of desiderata we consider, and comprehensively outlines the many dimensions required to truly achieve performant systems. As with scenarios, we recognize there may be desiderata that have not been traditionally studied at any of these venues: this is why we made sure to cast a wide net in sources for desiderata, and we believe that at the level of desiderata, we likely do have strong coverage but that other mechanisms (e.g. polling larger and more diverse groups than just academics implicitly) may still be able to improve on our listing.

access, and (iii) assumptions the broader system/context, This yields the following list: accuracy, imcertainly/eaaibralaa robustness, fairness, bias, lomicily, inference efficiency. To this list we add training efficiency and environmental impact since their measurement relies on information that is partially avail- able for some models (i.c. reported in associated papers). Further, we address some forms of legality in our exploration of memorization of copyrighted//lcene /icensse content as well as some forms of credibility in our analysis of disinformation. Finally, while we do not address sample efficiency the sense of the data used to train the language model (due our constraint on assumptions on how the model constructed), we do address sample efficiency in the sense of data used to adapt the language model (we do 5-shot prompting, with ablations of the number of in-context examples in 8.2 PROMPTING-ANALYSIR Beyond what we end

Table 4: Eeenarios-metrics matrix. The matrix specifying which metrics we do (Y) and do not (N) compute for each of 16 generic scenarios. In other words, for top-level desiderata, we measure 98 of the possible 112 (scenario, desiderata) pairs 87.5%. For the remaining 14 pairs, the majority are not well-defined (e.g. if the adaptation procedure for the scenario does not involve generation, then we cannot measure the rate of toxic complctions as there are no model completions). For the rest, we choose to not measure because we are concerned about the validity of the measurement (e.g. fairness or robustness perturbations for long-fow generation summarization).

Multi-metric coverage. To emphasize the multi-metric nature of our holistic approach, depict the matrix of results (Table 4 that we compute for every model, highlighting our benchmark's dense coverage of the selected subspace of scenarios x metrics. For each metric category, i.e. conceptual desiderata, we now discuss its concrete measurement.
4.3 Accuracy
Accuracy is the most widely studied and habitually evaluated property in Al. Simply put, Al systems are not useful if they are not sufficiently accurate. Throughout this work, we will use accuracy as an umbrella term for the standard accuracy-like metric for each scenario. This refers to the exact-match accuracy in text classification, the F1 score for word overlap in question answering, the MRR and NDCG scores for information retrieval, and the ROUGE score for summarization, among others (see Appendix C.1 for more details). It is important call out the implicit assumption that accuracy mcasured averaged over test instances. As result, minority subpopulations could experience low accuracy despite a high average accuracy.
4.4 Calibration and uncertainty
When machine learning models are integrated into broader systems, it is critical for these models to be simul- tancously accurate (i.c. frequently correct) and able to express their uncertainty (so that their errors can be appropriately anticipated and accommodated). Calibration and appropriate expression of model uncertainty is especially critical for systems to be viable for deployment in high-stakes settings, including those where

models inform decision-making (e.g. resume screening), which we increasingly for language technology its scope broadens. For example, if model is uncertain in its prediction, system designer could intervene by having human perform the task instead to avoid potential error (i.e. selective classification). To con- cretize how uncertainty quantification is specifically useful in the context of language models, two examples include using model confidences/ uunerrtinntiss to inform how to aggregate different prompts (Arora et al. 2022) and assemble prompt chains (Wu et al. 2022). general, since language models increasingly embed into myriad applications, calibration and reliable estimates of model uncertainty can build trust in their integration. Figure 17 depicts how measure calibration; see Appendix C.2 for more details.
Calibration [Murhhy] 1973 Murphy & Winkler 1977 DeGroot & Fienberg 1983 is widely studied property in the litcrature on uncertainty quantification: model is calibrated if it assigns meaningful probabilitics to its predictions. Concretely, if a well-calibrated model predicts that 1,000 sentences are toxic each with probability 0.7, then we expect around 700 of them to be toxic. To quantify calibration, we compute the expected calibration error (ECE; Naeini et al. 20155] Guo et al. 2017), which measures the difference between the model's predicted probability and the fraction of times the model is correct. By default, use 10-bins with equal number of probabilities per bin.
We also test the potential for selective classification EL- Yaniv & Wiener 2010 Geifman & El-Yaniv 2017
we evaluate the accuracy for the C-fraction of examples the model assigns the highest probability, where the model abstains for the remaining C examples. We report both the selection classification accuracy for C 0.1 and the average accuracy across all from 0 to (arca under the coverago-accuracy curve). These selective classification scores capture something different from calibration, as many models can accurately assess which examples are more difficult even if the raw probability values incorrect.
4.5 Robustness
When deployed in practice, models are confronted with the complexities of the open world (c.g. typos) that
cause most current systems to significantly degrade (Szegedy et al.) 2014 Goodfellow et al. 2015 Jia &
Bisk] 2018 Madry et al.] R et al. 2020 Santurkar et al. [2200] [sipras] 2021 Dhole et al. 2021 Koh al. 2021 Yang et al. 2022). Thus, order better capture the performance of these models in practice, we need expand our evaluation beyond the exact instances contained in our scenarios (Jia & Liang

Figure 18: Robustness perturbations. An example of how we perturb instances to measure the invariance of the model to benign corruptions.
Towards this goal, we measure the robustness of different models by evaluating them on transformations of an instance. That is, given a set of transformations for given instance, we measure the worst-case performance of model across these transformations (Figure 18]. Thus, for model to perform well under this metric, it needs to perform well across instance transformations.
Specifically, we will focus on two notions of transformations namely invariance and equivariaacc described below (see Appendix C.3 for more details). Note that both of these capture the local robustness of a model, that is how robust the model is to transformations in the neighborhood of each instance. We focus on such notions of local robustness, since they are directly relevant to a wide range of scenarios and can be reasonably measured in scalable fashion.
However, emphasize that the other forms of robustness are important, but find that they are com- paratively more difficult to measure because of the lack of assumptions we make on the models we evaluate as well as the scale of our evaluation. Specifically, on one hand, measuring robust to distribution or subpopulation shift (Oren et al. 2019 Santurkar et al.) 2020; Gool et al. 2020 Koh et al. 2021 requires scenarios with special structure (i.e., explicit domain csrruain/supopulaaiiin annotalions) as well as information about the training data of the models. On the other hand, measuring adversarial robustness (Biggio et al., 2013 Szegedy et al. 2014) requires many adaptive queries to the model in order to approximat worst-caso perlurbations, which are not feasible in this evaluation (Wallace et al. 2019a Morris et al. 2020). Finally, a recent. line of work has explored interactive human-in-the-loop adversarial evaluation ('Wallace et al. 2019b: Nie et al. 2020 Bartolo et al. 2020: Kiela et al., 2021). including work on red teaming models (Perez et al. 2022
Ganguli et al. 2022). which we believe is very relevant but difficult to scale for our purposcs.
Invariance. We evaluate how stable the model's predictions are under small, semantics-presorvve per- wwwpptraation--aeeeeee ontiffrmattoon/peruuratttoooooo
based paradigm has been widely explored to study model robustness (e.g. Ribeiro al., 2020 Goel et al., 2021 Wang et al. 2021a). with our implementation draw- ing significantly from NL-Augmenter (Dhole et al. 2021 The goal to understand whether corruptions that arise in real use-cases (c.g. typos) affect the performance of the model significantly. Thus, we re- strict ourselves to perturbations that are both natural and relatively mild-ea, e.g., capitalization, common misspellings- Figure 18 for an illustration and see Appendix D.1 for the full description. Since it is difficult to uniformly specify how the gold-standard should change for these perturbations in long-form text generation or language modeling, we restrict our measurement of invariance- robustness to text classification, question answering, and information retrieval scenarios.

Equivariance. To complement invariance, we also test how semantics semantics-altering perturbations influence model bohavior. The goal is to understand whether a model is sensitive to perturbations that change the target output and does not latch on irrelevant parts of the instance. Unfortunately, unlike invariance, spec- ifying purpose procedures for generating semantics- alttaniig perturbations (and the corresponding target output) is challenging. Thus, we rely Contrast Sets (Gardner et al. 2020), resource which consists

of transformed versions of existing datasets (generated by the authors of the original datasets), aimed to test equivariance through counterächtallyyanngnnndd data (Kaushik et al.] 2019). Since such contrast sets only exist for few datasets, we use contrast sets when they are available (i.e. the BoolQ question answering scenario and the IMDB sentiment analysis scenario). Moreover, we only consider transformations that change the target output (which is not necessarily the case for the original BoolQ contrast sets).

inter alia), including in the context of language technologies (e.g. Koenecke el al. 2020) Centering fairness
and equity as first-class aspects of evaluation is therefore essential to ensuring technology plays a positive
role in social change (Friedman & Nissenbaum 1996 Abebe et al. 2020 Bommasani et al. 2021 $5.1).
We operationalize fairness measurement in two ways following Khani Liang (2020): (i) counterfaclual
fairness (Dwork al.) 2012 Kusner et al. 2017 and (ii) statistical fairness or performance disparities. See
Appendix C.4 for more details.
Counterfactual fairness. By counterfactual fairness, we refer to model behavior counterfactual data that is generated by perturbing existing test examples (cf. Ma et al. 2021 Qian et al. 2022). akin to our approach for lesting model robustness to invariances
( 4.5; METRICS-RROBUIINSSS These perturbations cor- respond either to social groups involving either (i) the speaker who produced the data (e.g. African American English) or (ii) the subject of the text who is mentioned within it. We consider several perturbations, which augment the original test instances with additional instances that substitute specific group-related terms with alternatives (see Figure 19 In Appendix D.2 we provide the specific terms and probabilities of sub- stitution. Through these perturbations,
measure fairness for the speaker property of Standard American English vs. African American English well subject properties for race and binary gender 43 Akin to our approach for robustness, we restrict our measurement of counterfactual fairness to text classification, question answering, and information retrieval scenarios to better ensure the validity of the perturbations.
Performance disparities. While perturbation-base methods for counterfactual fairness afford both con- trol and scalability (to arbitrary scenarios), which facilitates evaluation across many scenarios, they are limited. Specifically, since the underlying distribution depends on one group's data (Le. the group whose data is being perturbed), they fail to reflect unfairness when the data distributions across groups differ in more complex ways. Consequently, we measure performance disparilies for scenarios where test instances are annotated with (pre-existing) group-level metadata by reporting how the accuracy on the subset of the test set corresponding to each group. Since these measurements depend on the availability of group-level metadata 44
we cannot produce such measurements for most scenarios. However, across the benchmark, we

Discussion. We additionally bring attention to the important question for future work of what the conven- tions should be for language technologies. In particular, our measurement of performance across dialects led us to ask if language models should (attempt to) speak in particular dialects (e.g. African American English), especially if they poorly model contral aspects these language varieties and other important dimensions of sociolinguistic variation these dialects. Further, should models (attempt to) match the language variety soaaddard/effuul variety that used
of the imput (or their interlocutor more generally) or should they have uniformly across all contexts? In this work, we do not scriously engage with this question, though believe answer (even implicitly) bears on the technical, social, and political dimensions of language lechnologies. We reiterate the point raised in Rauh et al. (2022) that the norms for language technologies need not be the same as those for humans: the interlocutor's perception of (and potential harm from) an entity's 's speech will depend on who (or what) they are interacting with. In this direction, Kasirzadeh & Gabriel (2022) have initiated discussion of the norms and values language agents should express; we believe understanding this dimension critical to ascertain the (un)fairness and (in)equity of language technologies.
4.7 Bias and stereotypes
Alongside fairness, social bias is central to the study of risks of language technologies (Bolkbbasi et al,
2016
Caliskan et al. 2017 Abid et al. 2021). In this work, in line with the recommendations of Blodgett et al. (2020), we explicitly define social bias as "a systematic asymmetry in language choice" (Beukeboom & Burgers 2019). As a result, fairness and (social) bias differ. Fairness refers to disparities in the task-specific accuracy of models across social groups. In contrast, bias refers properties of model generations, i.e. there is no (explicit) relationship with the accuracy the specifics given task.
We study bias in the context of model generations, where study two such asymmetries. First, we measure bias in demographic representation, referring to uneveness in the rates that different demographic groups are mentioned to identify erasure and oner-representation. These mcasures depend on the occurrence statistics of words signifying a demographic group across model generations. Second, we measure slereolgpical associations, referring to uneveness in the rates that different groups are associated with stereotyped terms (c.g. occupations) in socicty. In both cases, by uneveness we mean the extent which the observed rates diverge from the uniform distribution, i.c. all groups being mentioned or associated with equally, though metrics allow for alternative references to be considered (see Appendix C.5l.

These measures dependence on the cooccurence statistics of demographie words with these stereotyped terms across model generations (see Figure 20) We note that such count-based based measures can be brittle in several ways in general. Of specific importance for social bias, we emphasize the differential linguistic marking of social groups (e.g. "female murse" vs "male murse" may be differentially marked due to sociocultural presuppositions and stereotypes) (Rauh et al. 2022).
We report measures of binary gender bias and racial bias, though we encourage future work to explore measures of other social biases, especially given we release all model generations. Since these metrics are measured over model-generated text, we report these bias-related metrics for all core scenarios involving text generation. In Appendix C.5] we provide the formal definitions of our metrics inspired by Bordia & Bowman
(2019), as well as our word lists drawing on prior work (Bolukbasi et al. 2016 Garg et al. Bommasani
2018
et al. 2020 under the recommendations of Antoniak & Mimno (2021)
4.8 Toxicity
Whereas the biases study reflect distributional properties of text, take toxicity to be instance-leved property of text. Models have been shown to generate toxic text when prompted (Gehman et al.) 2020
even when this text itself is not toxic (Gehman et al.) 2020 Dhamala et al. 2021). and including hateful text directed towards specific groups (e.g. Muslims; Abid et al. 2021). Toxicity itself is a complex construct; here we use the term as an umbrella for related concepts like hate speech, violent speech, and abusive language
(see Talat et al., 2017 15 The notion of toxicity better addressed with greater context. (Pavlopoulos el al. 2020) and with clarity on who is determining toxicity (Sap et al.) 2219aa] Gordon al. (022), which we lack in our broad-coverage evaluation. In line with the recommendation of Rauh et al. (2022), recognize that this work fails to articulate more precise (operationalized) definition of toxicity, in part because toxicity measurement is conducted uniformly across disparate scenarios to ensure scalability Selbst et al. 2019) However, in line with the recommendation of Diaz et al. (2022). we believe this work makes important progress in grounding toxicity ovaluations the context use cases, though we do believe there is ample room for improvement, especially for evaluations grounded in concrete deployment settings.
To operationalize toxicity measurement, we use the Perspective API Lees et al. 2022 content in model generations. See Figure 21 for example; further details are deferred to Appendix C.6]

Published in Transactions on Machine Learning Research (08/2023)
The Perspective API widely used in the toxicity literature with extensive analyses (Hede et al, 2021 Lees et al. 2022), including direct critiques (Rauh et al. 2022). We chose to use the Perspective API because it has been strenuously analyzed and its limitations are well-acknowieddeed, preferring it for these reasons to newer stato-of-the-art toxicity detectors (e.g. the top models on hate speech detection leaderboard: (77 That is, we prefer to use the toxicity detection system with extensive lesting and clear measurement of its limitations as opposed to other (potentially better but largely unproven) toxicity detection methods.
Since these metrics are measured over model-gencrated text, we report these toxicity metrics for all core scenarios involving text generation. Further, since we release all model generations, we hope to directly facilitate future work that explores how the qualitative conclusions drawn regarding toxicity depend on the specified toxicity detection mechanism.
4.9 Efficiency
Efficiency is another important dimension to evaluate language models on, since expensive training and inference costs make models less usable and less accessible to wide swaths of users (Schwartz et al. 2020
Bender et al.] 2021: Henderson et al. 2020 Kaack et al.) 2021 Strubell et al. 2019 Lacoste et al., 2019 Bommasani et al. 2021 $5.3). For example, users might not want to spend 10x more in terms of time or money on training or inferencing a model if it only improves accuracy on a task by 0.1%. We evaluate the efficiency of language models across both training and inference, examining energy, carbon, and wall-clock efficiency as relevant.
4.9.1 Training efficiency
For each model, we report the energy cost (in kWh) of training as well as the CO2 emitted (in kilograms) to train the model as recommended by a growing body of work (Strubell et al. 2019 Lacoste
et al. 2019 Anthony et al. 2020; Henderson et al. 2020 Bender et al. 2021 Bommasani et al. 2021 $5.3).
Both of these metrics capture the number (for distributed training) and type of accelerators used, while the latter models the environmental impact and also takes into account the lypes of energy sources used to power model training, We do not report training runtimes for two reasons: (i) they are not widely reported, and (ii) they do not capture the number of accelcrators used (i.c. more accelerators could theoretically be used to decrease the training time), which likely varies greatly across model creators.
For energy cost and emissions, we use model creators' reported numbers when available at face value. Where numbers are not reported, we approximate energy cost and emissions with the following calculation if details about the hardware used and training duration are available:
= RGPU PUE
eCOs =
eCregion
For simplicity, we assume that the accelcrators used for training are GPUs, but the above calculations are similar for other accelerators like TPUs. e is the energy used in kWh, RGPU is the mumber of GPUs used for distributed training (necessary to train the large LMs considered in this work), WePU is the average power draw single GPU in kilowatts over the course of training, and trainn is the training time in hours. PUE or Power Usage Effectiveness (Strubell costs as well other energy costs beyond the GPU's 's energy draw itself, and is set to 1.1 similar to previous work. eco, is then the estimate of carbon emissions; Gregion is the carbon intensity (kgCO, per kWh) of the datacenter in which the model was trained. We use the U.S. national average carbon intensity when the datacenter location is not available. All numbers are approximate due to underlying estimation errors and assumptions, but should be of the right order of magnitude. While others have discussed how the estimation methodology used here might be error-prone (Henderson et al. 2020 Cao et al.) 2020), we do not have enough information to use a more fine-grained approach. [Strubell el al. 22019). Bender el al. (2021) and Patterson et al. (2021) use similar estimation methodologies but cover different model than this work. We outline detailed calculations in Appendix
al. 2019) represents the overhead from datacenter cooling

We compute two metrics: denoised inference runtime and idcalized inference runtime. returns the runtime of encoding a prompt of given size, and the runtime of generating each additional output token for the given model.
For models, like the AI21 models, do not have enough information to make reliable estimate. We believe model creators being transparent about details on how they trained their models would make it easier to compare models more holistically across multiple dimensions.
4.9.2 Inference efficiency
For inference, would ideally want to do something similar by reporting total emitted CO2 kWh for each inference request; this is not immediately tractable, however, since the hardware used to serve the requests is not public information.
One alternative is to report per-request runtime, which is what users using deployed systems experience in their applications. Per-request runtime, however, cannot be used to compare models and model providers due disparitics in how these models are servod. For example, two model providers' deployments can differ on:
Hardware: both type accelerator and number accelerators.
Software implementations and optimizations.
Amount of performance variation due to contention, which can load requests spending time queues waiting for resources become available as opposed on computation.
These are unfortumately not fundamental to the model itself, and consequently do not allow us to compare models on a level footing, which is the objective this work. To be able compare models more fairly, we designed two metrics:
Denoised inference runtime. The runtime using the same hardware and software implementation as the original model provider, but with the noise from performance variation factored out.
Idealized inference runtime. The runtime using uniform optimized hardware and software im- plementation, allowing for the inference efficiency of models to be directly compared against each other.
We present both of these metrics since we believe both are important: denoised runtimes give estimate for how long queries will take for end users using deployed interfaces such as OpenAl's API in the best case, while idealized runtimes allow models to be more fairly compared and can be used to understand efficiency-capabiie tradeoffs. We present denoised runtimes for every model, and idealized runtimes for all models with publicly available model architecture information. practice, we measure idcalized runtimes on NVIDIA A100 GPUs using Megatron (Shoeybi al. 2019), since we believe these are optimized hardware and software stacks (at the time of writing) with features like model parallelism that needed to serve

large LMs. Figure 22 shows visual comparison between these different inference runtime metries, and also briefly explains how the denoised and idealized runtime metrics can be estimated.
We can also derive idealized energy and idealized emitted CO2 metrics from the idealized runtime, since we control the hardware on which the idealized runtimes are estimated. Note that this cannot be done for the denoised runtimes since we do not know the hardware used by the model provider.
5 Targeted evaluations
In 33 CORE-SCENARIOS) we prioritized user-facing scenarios, where progress could confer direct social utility. Given the growing development and deployment language models, holistic evaluation of model performance for such scenarios aims to track the impact models will have. However, as Bommasani et al. (2021 $4.4) describe, evaluation serves multiple functions and the relevant function can depend the stakcholder (e.g. researchers have different evaluation needs from policymakers). While the preceding evaluation provides clarity on the practical utility of existing models, it is less effective at providing fine ane-grained scientific insight on primitives of interest. To address this, we supplement the evaluation with a deeper analysis of these primitives.
Akin to how we explored the structure latent in the space of scenarios systematically, we identify further structure in designating set of components that help determine the benefits and harms of language model. On the side of capabilities, the side of harms, the space of harms of language models is more nascent, we follow the recent. laxonomies of [Bommasani et al.] (2021] $5), /Weidinger et al. (2022), Bender et al. (2021) and Rauh et al. (2022). Specifically, we focus on disinformation and copyright as first-order concerns that are espocially concerning when language models are accessible to malicious actors. These concerns foreground the dual use risks of such general-purpose technologies. Further, we extend our discussion of bias and toxicity with analytic assessments to supplement evaluations in the context of use-cases. Overall, our evaluation aims to build understanding on the practical utility of language models for society well the fundamental scientific components that shape model behavior.
consider the canonical primitives of language, knowledge, and reasoning. On
5.1 Language
To measure model's understanding of the English language, evaluate it on two types of scenarios: language modeling and minimal pairs 48 Both approaches have extensive traditions in linguistics: the former has been widely studied in incremental processing in psycholinguistics (Hale 2001 Levy 2008), where the performance at predicting the next word clarifies how well models or humans have learned the distribution of language use in a domain. The latter approach of minimal pair comparison is a dominant methodology employed throughout linguistics (Chomusky 1957) that helps to tease out fine-grained understanding of specific linguistic phenomena. Together, the two approaches jointly provide a cohesive characterization of linguistic understanding at different resolutions.
5.1.1 Language modeling
Problem setting. In language modeling, the input is an English text sequence that the model assigns a conditional log probability for each token the sequence that can be summed to assign a (log) probability to the full sequence. More precisely, since we compare models that use different tokenizers, we use bits per byte our main metric because of its invariance to tokenization schemes following Gao et al. (022aa).
Datasets and selection process. Among all existing language modeling benchmarks, we select the following: VikiText-103 (Merity et al.) 2016), The Pile (Goo et al.] 2021a). TwitterAAE (Blodgett et al. 2016), and ICE (The International Corpus of Fnglish; Greenbaum 1991). We include WikiText- 103 as a long-standing and well-studied benchmark for language modcling that covers English Wikipedia data and The Pile for its broader domain coverage. WikiText-103 a collection of verified articles from

Wikipedia used for language model benchmarking, The Pile is compilation of 22 different sub-corpora, of which we prioritize 5 corpora to ensure coverage of different domains: arXiv, BookCorpus2, Enron Emails, PubMed Central, and Wikipedia (en).
To these, we add TwitterAAB and ICE to evaluate language modeling across a range of English varieties. These corpora, addition to extending our coverage of English text for evaluation, serve to measure per- formance disparities in a model's understanding of different English varieties. [Bodgett et al. (2020), taking African American English (AAE) as example, argues that deficits in language technology performance for AAE are inherently harmful because they risk reinforcing a stigmatization of AAE that has historically and continues to deny social opportunity to the speakers of that language. Given the well-doeumented center-periphery domination between English as a Native Language (ENL) varieties and English as a Sec- ond /Foeeig Language (ESL/EFL) varieties (Kachru et al. 2009), we expect that disparities in language modeling capacity between those two groups of regional Englishes could be similarly harmful.
WritterAAB contains over 50 million social media messages from Twitter ("Lweets") labeled with demo- graphic proportions predicted using geolocations of the users. Similar to Blodgett et al. (2016), sample 50,000 examples from the 830,000 tweets with the highest African American proportions and the 7.3 million tweets with the highest White proportions for the corresponding demographic group. ICE is a set of cor- pora designed for comparative analysis of 12 regional regional/national national varieties of English across the world. Of these twelve, we use the subsets from Canada, Jamaica, Kenya, Hong Kong, India, Ireland, Singapore, the Philip- pines, Tanzania and the USA. These, in line with the two dominant classifications of world Englishes the Three Circles model and the Dynamic model (Kirkpatrick) 2020 coontiiute a representative grouping of English varieties.
5.1.2 Minimal pairs
Problem setting. A minimal pair is a pair of sequences that differ in a single loken, where one sequence is acceptable and the other is not. For each minimal pair, a model is deemed correct if it assigns higher probability to the acceptable sequence than to the unacceptable sequence.
Datasets and selection process. Minimal pair evaluation of language models was pioneered by Linzen 2016 lcading to several works that amassed minimal pairs to test linguistic understanding Linzen
ct al.
et al. 2016 Warstadt et al. 2020 Gauthier et al.) 2020 inter alia). Of these, we elect to use BLiMP (Benchmark for Linguistic Minimal Pairs; Warstadt et al.) 2020). which contains minimal pairs testing syntactic, morphological, and semantic knowledge. Drawing from syntax textbooks in linguistics to converge on set of core phenomena, it covers 12 linguistie phenomena and 67 paradigms where 1000 synthetic minimal pairs were programmatically generated for each paradigm.
5.2 Knowledge
To measure a model's knowledge, we evaluate the model through question answering [5.21 KNOWLEDGE QA and text completion 5.2.2 WAW.LEIGGE-AACTCOOMMETTOOO 10 Question answering enables us to re-use questions developed for assessing human knowledge (e.g, academic exams) that involve light linguistic understanding and reasoning, whereas text completion allows us to further isolate specific factual knowledge.
5.2.1 nnowledge-intenivve QA
To evaluate LMs' knowledge in a practical QA setting, we use existing QA benchmarks that require significant knowledge to solve.
Datasets. Among the QA datasets discussed in 333 QUESTION we focus on a subset that tests diverse forms of knowledge: HellaSwag, OpenBookQA, TruthfulQA, and MMLU. Of these, HellaSwag and OpenBookQA test general commonsense knowledge, with TruthfulQA further adding
49To be more precise, since are evaluating models text-to-text interfaces, this means knowledge that is currently used by the interface. other words, the knowledge need not he stored in the model and could, for example, stored in an external knowledge base that is accessed by a retrieval-augmented model (Lewis al. 2020c Vasunaga et al. 2021 2022a).

emphasis the factuality and truthfulness of knowledge. In contrast, MMLU tests specialized knowl- edge from 57 domains, ranging from the humanities to the social sciences to STEM (science, technology, engineering and math).
5.2.2 Fact completion
Here we aim to evaluate LMs' knowledge in setting that factors out knowledge-agnostie capabilities like language irisstaaninnrrrasoniii and we use simple prompts to test single facts. Specifically, we construct new dataset of such prompls based on facts from Wikidala, and evaluate LMs it.
Problem sctting. In fact completion, given a prompt that asks for a fact (c.g., "The capital of France is "), the lask is predict. the completion of the prompt (*Paris"). This task is a natural language equivalent of the classical triple completion task studied for relational data (Bordes et al. 2013). Given an incomplete entity triple consisting of (subject, predicate, ?), the goal is to predict the missing object entity, Our evaluation metric is 5-shot Accuracy@K (K= where Accuracy@K K indicates whether one of the system's 's top K predictions matches the ground-truth label.
Datasets. Our fact completion setup described above was inspired by the LAMA probe dataset (Petroni et al. 2019). LAMA was an carly work that established the method to probe LMs' knowledge through a fact completon prompt like "The capital of France is " However, the original LAMA dataset only covered 440 types of generic relational knowledge (e.g., place of birth). Here we curate more diverse dataset evaluate LMs.
Specifically, we identified 12 domains spanning the humanities (e.g., law), social sciences (e.g., economics), STEM (e.g,, biomedicine), and other general facts. For each domain, we manually identified 2-7 Wikidata relations and engineered a prompt template which converted the triple into a Bebburalllaguuae-coom/p task. We picked relations which captured factual information highly relevant to and reprosentative of the domain. This results in 86 relation types total. The full list of relations and their corresponding prompts is available in Appendix E.2 We then downloaded all triples corresponding to these relations (using the January 2022 Wikidata dump). We removed triples where either the subject object entity did not have Wikipedia page. We sampled 1000 triples for each property to use when cast as natural language completion, single triple may have multiple correct answers, as (1) a triple may be correctly completed by multiple different objects, or (2) single object may be referenced by multiple different names. In evaluating models, we consider any generation corresponding to any alias of a permissible object entity to be correct.
benchmark. We observed that
5.3 Reasoning
To measure a model's reasoning capabilities, evaluate it in both synthetic and rcalistic reasoning-centric scenarios. We specify suite of synthetic tasks that probe core reasoning primilives (non-ampliative rea- soning, ampliative reasoning, recursive hierarchy, state tracking; [5.3.1] PEASONING-PRIIMIIIVESS) largely isolating reasoning from language and knowledge. To build on these primitives, we then test models in realistic contexts (mathematical reasoning, code reasoning, legal reasoning, logical reasoning, structured data reasoning; [5.322 REALLSTIG-RRPASONNNGG that bring together these primitives. Put together, these approaches clarify the extent which models possess capacities crucial for reasoning and how this is of service in real use cases that depend on reasoning.
5.3.1 Reasoning primitives
While reasoning is usually assumed to involve transitions in thought (Harman 2013). possibly in some non- linguistic format, we typically assess reasoning abilities (e.g,, in adult humans] by means of explicit symbolic or linguistic tasks. Indeed, communication and argument may even be what reasoning is ultimately for (Mercier & Sperber 2017). In order to distinguish reasoning from language and knowledge as much as possible, we focus here on relatively abstract capacities necessary for sophisticated text-based or symbolic reasoning divided into four categories: non-ompliativee reasoning, amplialive reasoning, reasoning with recur-

non-ampliative reasoning involves conclusions that are in some sense already present in the premises, whereas ampliative reasoning involve conclusions that are only guaranteed if we accept further assumptions that were not explicitly given 5D The last two evaluate how generally the model can reason both recursively and over changing states.
sive hierarchy, and state tracking. The first division follows Peirce (1974)
These tasks involve only elementary language - in some cases mix of natural language and mathematical symbols and little in the way of factual world knowledge. Our assumption is that these abilities will be requisite for reasoning independent of what facts happen to hold, what (natural or artificial) language the model happens to be using. We emphasize these evaluations are intended to be representative but not exhaustive.
Non-ampliative Reasoning We first test two basic primitives for non-ampliative reasoning: pattern matching to identify relevant rule and variable substitution to apply the rule. To instantiate these primitives, we implement scenarios with abstract symbols following LIME (Wu et al. 2021). We further follow Clark et al. (2020) to test deduction that combines these primitives in natural language with simple words for variables and sentence templates for rules.
Ampliative Reasoning To measure ampliative reasoning, we use explicit rule induction and implicit function regression, which corresponds to making and applying claims about the likely causal structure for observations. For rule induction, we design and implement rule_ induct inspired by the LIME induction tasks, where we provide two examples generated from the same rule string, and task the model with inferring the underlying rule. For function regression, we design and implement numeracy_ numeracy_prediction lptprrppeepooonn.. which requires the model to perform symbolic regression given few examples and apply the number relationship (e.g. linear) to new input.
Recursive Hierarchy. To test. the ability of language models reason recursively over deep and long hierarchical dependencies, we use the generalized Dyck languages (Dyck, or Da). Dyck is the family of languages which embodies what it means to be language with hierarchical structure (Suzgun et al. 2019b). Although such structures are believed to be essential to natural language, similar nested hierarchies also arisc in other core reasoning domains (Dehacnc 2020 and involve a particularly subtle variety of pattern matching.
To instantiate a task with Dyck, we require the model generate the sequence of the closing brackets of Dn word without its last few closing brackets 6T By virtue of the task formulation, every input example (i.e. Dn prefix) has unique sequence of closing brackets. In our experiments, we limit our attention to a subset of the Dyck languages, D3, of well-nested strings over three pairs of brackets (vin., {a(", 9)", "I" qr, "{", "}"}) and consider 500 evaluation examples of varying lengths (between 52 and 100) under a two-shot prompting protocol. To measure model accuracy, we report strict exact-match results.
State Tracking. To further evaluate the reasoning and state tracking capabilities of models, we measure their performance on bAbI (Weston et al. 2015). bAbl features short stories about characters picking and dropping items while traversing rooms in a house. Each question has a single-word answer, and they require a variety of reasoning skills, spanning transitive inference, coreference resolution, logical reasoning (negation, conjunctions and disjunctions). spatial and temporal reasoning, deduction and induction, grouped into 20 different tasks. The inputs have 64 tokens per instance average, with significant variance in input lengths, with some reaching around hundreds of tokens.
5.3.2 Realistic reasoning
We also evaluate language models on more complex and realistic reasoning tasks that require multiple prim- ilive reasoning skills. These evaluations bridge the gap between understanding reasoning in very controlled
As paradigmatic instance of non-ampliative reasoning, we investigate deductive patterus in which the conclusion could not be false long as the premiscs true. For ampliative reasoning we investigate (what are often called) induction and adduction, which characteristically require tacit (e.g., statistical or causal) assumptions to justify conclusion. 51 A model capable of recognizing Dyck needs to emulate a discrete pushdown automaton (PDA).

and synthetic conditions and the type of reasoning required in practical contexts. In particular, they also help surface how the abstract property of reasoning, while decomposed into similar primitives across do- mains, takes on different textures based on the domain (e.g. the reasoning required in legal contexts is quite different from the reasoning required in code contexts). Further, these realistic scenarios are central to reasoning: in-the-wild reasoning requires the ability lo compose primitives in variely of ways. To opera- tionalize this measurement, we choose a diverse set of reasoning-intensin scenarios with clear ground truth, so that automated evaluation at scale is possible.
Mat hematical Reasoning. We use GSM8K (Cobbe al. 2020 and MATH (Hendrycks al. 2021c) to test model performance in the context of math exams of varying difficuliiss. Both datascts evaluate multi-step mathematical reasoning capabilities necessary to arrive at numerical answer given question. In their ground truth examples, the datasets include intermediate steps in natural language which lead to the final answer, which the language model then imitates.
Code Synthesis. We use HumanEval (Chen et al. 2021 and APPS (Hendrycks et al. 2021a), which contain 164 and 10,000 coding questions respectively. HumanEval contains handwritten programming problems that tests simple algorithms and mathematics, while APPS is curated from open-access program- ming sites and covers a wider range of difficulties. Since each full coding task example could be too long to fit multiple of them in the context window, we only perform zero-shot evaluation with models finc-tuned code already.
Legal Reasoning. For legal reasoning, we construct LegalSupport, a novel comparative legal entailment task. Lawyers often must determine which case most forcefully or accurately supports their claims. This is integral part of legal argument formulation, as lawyers must cite to the decisions made by previous courts (i.c. "precedent"). In particular, this allows one to (1) determine what the law says, and (2) persuasively argue for how a court should decide in pending dispute. In LegalSupport, a model is provided with an argument, and the legal conclusions of two court cases. The task to determine which case most persuasively supports the argument. The arguments and annotations are mined from actual legal opinions.
Logical Reasoning. We perform further evaluation on analytical reasoning questions from the Law School Admission Test (LSAT: Zhong et al. 2021), standardized test for prospective law school candidates, which are verbal versions of constraint sat problems (CSP) about assignments, groupings or orderings of elements in accordance with a list of requirements, like assigning several people to tables, or organizing classes in a schedule. The questions are of multi-answer format with 5 answers per question, where they either ask for the specific solution to the CSP, the cardinality of the solution space, or other derived properties and inferences about a given problem. The prompts have 170 tokens per example on average, and we provide 5 such examples in-context before asking the model to predict the answer a new exercise.
Structured Data Reasoning. We evaluate how well models can wrangle structured data a critical problem in enterprise data pipclines that has been studied in the data management community for over two decades (Golshan et al. 2017). We evaluate two classic data integration and cleaning tasks: entity matching and data imputation. Entity matching is the task of determining if two structured rows (often from different relations) refer to the same entity. Data imputation is the task of filling in a missing cell value from a structured row. For entity matching, we use the Beer, Abt-Buy, and iTunes Amazon (dirty) datasets from the Magellan benchmark (Konda et al., 2016). For imputation, we choose the Restaurant and Buy datascts from Mei al. (2021). For the tasks, we generate prompts following the random prompts from Narayan al. (0022).
5.4 Memorization & copyright
Recent works have demonstrated that language models are capable of memorizing and reproducing content in training datasets (Carlini et al.] 2019 Lee et al. 2022a Carlini et al.) 2022 Kandpal et al., 2022; Carlini et al.) (2021). The ability to memorize and plagiarize suggests potential legal risks from an intellectual property standpoint (Bommasani et al. 2021 $5.4). In this section, we provide an evaluation of this risk

through measuring the extent to which language models are able to reproduce copyrighted snyyrigghte/licenseel /licensed material in their training corpus with common sampling methods used in prior works (Carlini et al. 2021).
There are many situations in which training on, and generating, copyrighted material may be legally accept- able under doctrines like fair use {Lemley & Casey 2020). But the degree of acceptability depends on the use case of the language model, as well as factors including the transformativeness of the content and the amount of content reproduced. We refer the reader to other works discussing the legal subject matter (Sobel,
2017 Lemley & Casey) 2020; Burk] 2019. Gillotte
2019
Franceschelli & Musolesi 2022). Fair use is not
panacea, though. In the case of ComicMix (Index 2020
creators wrote a book based on Dr. Seuss's Oh, the Places You'll Go! titled Oh, the Places You 71 Boldly Go! The book mimicked the style of Dr. Seuss, but replaced the text and imagery with a story in a Star Trek theme. This case was not covered by fair use because the book was a derivative product in a similar market that matched the original work too closely, As in the Comic.Mix case, machine learning models can memorize and output derivative content that is not necessarily protectod by fair use. It is thus important to measure the memorization of copyrighted material in models to guide the investigative resources placed to address this risk.
Here, we introduce experiments to examine models' abilities to generate verbatim content. We emphasize that our numerical results do not (unconditionally) quantify the degree of legal risk. At a high level, given a model and a prompt. (typically some initial portion of a copyrighted/ serrighted/iceeseed material), we measure the extent to which the model is able to reproduce the completion. This is a simple test of models' regurgitation capabilities. Specifically, we compiled prompts from three sources: (i) 1k randomly sampled books from the BooksCorpus (copyrighted), (ii) 20 books from the BooksCorpus that also appear in a list of bestsellers (copyrighted) b2 and (ifi) 2k randomly sampled functions from the linux kernel source (GPL licensed) For (i), we took varying numbers of tokens at the beginning of randomly sampled paragraphs prompts. For (ii), we repeated the previous procedure- thiss time only considering the first paragraph of each bestseller. Lastly, for (iii), we took varying numbers of lines starting from the top of each function to form prompts. (i) and (ii) respectively test models' ability to reproduce the "average" content and content that is likely to be repeated in the training corpus. The comparison of the two is motivated by observations in past work that extraction of duplicated content is on average more likely (Kandpal et al., 2022 metrics measure both exact regurgitation (longest common sequence normalized by length of given prefix)
Our evaluation 54
and near-exact reproduction (edit distance and edit similarity (Lee et al. 2021 normalized by length of given prefix).
Due to token credit constraints, we only sample one completion per prompt to test extraction. Thus, the results here may be underpowered as idcally one would generate many samples for the same prefix to approximate the worst-case behavior. In addition, given that we only focus on extracting selected contents (books and linux source code), our results may not fully reflect the qualitative behavior of extracting other sources. Nonetheless, code, generate verbatim content in certain situations. Future work with black-box model access explore this further. We discuss additional muances of this evaluation in the appendix.

5.5 Disinformation
Disinformation refers to false information that is disseminated by an actor with the intent to deceive, mislead, or otherwise influence the behavior of the target. Disinformation is of social concern: it has been used to disrupt democratic processes, undermine public health campaigns, and incite genocidal violence (Partnership)
2021 Zarocostas 2020 Whitten- Whitten-Woodring Woodring et al. 2020 Structurally, effect ive disinformation relies on both
(i) convincing content and (ii) network behavior to propagate disinformation (e.g. via social media platforms)
[Benkler et al. 2018).
To understand disinformation, we begin by considering approaches used for disinformation that pre-date modern language models. Disinformation actors generally have two approaches outlined in DiResta et al.

2022.. One option is to hire people in-house, which is good for operational security, but these employees may lack the cultural or linguistic knowledge required to make effective disinformation. This is particularly relevant when discussing geopolitical disinformation that may involve parties of very different cultural/ /lin- guistic backgrounds (e.g. different nations). The other option is to hire freelancers in the target country; freelance authors have the cultural context to make effective disinformation, but can more easily compromise the operation's 's security.
Given the growing generative capabilities of language models, malicious use for disinformation is a specific risk arising from the potential dual use of language model. Specifically, several works have identified that language models can be a secure, efficient, and effective means for producing content for disinformation operations (Radford et al. 2019 Buchanan et al.) 2021] Bommasani et al. 2021 $5.2). Relative to exist- ing approaches, models can be created and stored in-house, matching the operational security of in-house operations, and can be trained on data, from the foreign population, providing the effectiveness of remote operations (sce Horvitz 2022).
Beyond existing approaches that may be bottle-necked by the speed of human authorship, machine- generated text is highly scalable. Furthermore, when teamed with human editors who iteratively edit the model's generations, refine their inputs, and fine-tune the system, language models may generate outputs that perform better than either the human or the model can manage by themselves (Buchanan et al. p Thus, the bottle-neck for using model generations for disinformation reliability: model generations need extensive human post-editing, the cost and risk of using them might be comparable to hiring humans to author text in the first place (Goldstein et al. Forthcoming
Problem Setting. In foundational work on the relationship between language models and disinformation, Buchanan al.] (2021) introduce taxonomy of six phenomena where language models may prove to be service. Of these six phenomena, we choose to focus on two: narrative reiteration and narrative wedging. We do because the thrcats posed by these specifically align most strongly with the settings that concern disinformation researchers (Peunycook et al. 2021), and because they prompt models for short generations, so larger number can be efficiently evaluated.
Narrative reiteration tests the ability of a language model to advance a specified narrative. We test this by adapting models to generate headlines that support a given thesis statement. this sense, narrative reiteration reuses core capabilities related to the ability to paraphrase and the controllability of a language model's generation.
Narrative wedging, on the other hand, lests the ability of a language model to generate messages that divide people based on group identity (e.g. race or religion). Such wedging can be clearly divisive, fragmenting or polarizing a community by exerting pressure on individuals' sense of belonging to their social groups. We test this by adapting models to generate social media posts to amplify social divisions as well as to encourage a certain group to take a certain action. Further, divisive language may be either overtly hostile or only implicitly hostile (such as code words, mieroaggressions, stereotypes, and dogwhistles; Fogal al.] 2018 Quaranto )022). Hence, we distinguish between covert and overt hostility in the models' generations.
Datasets. Since we follow Buchanan et al. (2021) , we begin by considering their dataset design for both reiteration and wedging. For reiteration, we choose deviate from their work because they use only single prompt in their evaluation. Instead, we use the Misinformation Reaction Frames dataset of Gabriel et al.) ( which provides headlines and theses on COVID-19 and climate change. From this dataset, we man- nally cluster 114 hcadlines about COVID and 147 headlines about climate change from the Misinformation Reaction Frames dataset into 38 and 49 clusters respectively. For each cluster, we write a thesis statement that all of the headlines in that cluster support (e.g. "COVID-19 is a man-made disease."). For wedging, we use the same 11 prompts introduced by Buchanan et al. (2021) These prompts encourage certain vot- ing behavior (vote Democratic, Republican, or not at all) targeting religious groups (Christians, Jews, and Muslims), as well encourage division (e.g. anti-Black racism).

5.6 Bias
In 84.7 METRICS- BIAS we discuss social bias measurement in the context of realistic use cases, namely in the context of model generations. We believe such measurement is most directly useful for measuring the bias-related harms associated with language models. However, most of the literature on bias mcasurement in NLP; which can be traced back Bolukbaasi et al. (2016), instead focuses on biases that are more intrinsic and less directly grounded in extrinsically relevant use cases. As we note in [4.7] METRICS-BAN BIAS the predictive validity of these mcasurements (that is, the extent to which they prodict biascs in downstream behavior) has been questioned in several works (e.g. Goldaabb-Tarran et al. 2021 Steed et al. 2022). As Bommasani et al. (2021 $5.1) describe, bias evaluation for foundation models can either target intrinsic properties of the model extrinsic behavior of the model once adapted for a particular downstream use case. Here, we complement our existing evaluation with a finer- grained assessment of bias, noting that this also helps ensure coverage of biases that may be pertinent even for tasks that involve minimal/no generation.
Dataset Selection. Nadeem et al. 2020 and Nangia et al. 2020 each introduced minimal pair evalua- tions for assessing the biases of language models. To date, these two datasets have been the primary datasets for evaluating biases in language models, as they provide significant control due to the minimal pair design (which is the same design used for the linguistic evaluations that we describe in 55.122 LANGUAGE-MINIMAL PAIRSh. However, Blodgett et al. (2021) provides an extensive critique of these two datasets, providing comprehensive evidence for their inadequate validity.
For this reason, we instead turn to the more recently introduced BBQ dataset of Parrish et al. (0022). We note that the BBQ dataset may still suffer from some of the concerns discussed by Blodgett et al. (2021) but we expect it is comparatively better than the other options 55 In particular, the BBQ dataset frames bias evaluation in the context of question answering, which also aligns with our more general approach of preferring evaluations that are more realistic and less syuthetic when discussing social harms. BBQ measures biases associated with nine demographic categories, following the US Equal Employment Opportunities Commission, of age, disability status, gender, nationality, physical appearance, race/ethnicity, religion, socio- economic status, and sexual orientation. BBQ uses data generated via templates, with attested biases (with documented evidence that establishes the bias), that are then vetted by crowdworkers Amazon Mechanical Turk.
Problem Setting. BBQ involves multiple-choice question answering, where each question is paired with context and three answer choices (two of which reference different social groups of the same demographic category, and the third of which is always "Unknown"). To facilitate bias measurement, each example in the dataset is associated with a 2 x 2 pattern of instances: questions appear in pairs (one which is negative, i.e. a social value in the US is violated and the bias it reflects is harmful to certain groups, and the other of which is negative) and contexts appear in pairs (one which is ambiguous, and one which disambiguating). Due to these alterations, in additional to measuring the exact match accuracy of the model on all data, the authors also introduces measures for the bias of the model both on ambiguous and disambiguated contexts.
5.7 Toxicity
In 8..8 METRICS-TOXICITY we discuss toxicity measurement in the context of realistic use cases, namely in the context of model generations. In these use cases, we empirically find very little incidence of toxicity, which we take to be a generally positive sign regarding the risks of toxicity-related harms arising from language model deployment. On the other hand, Abid et al. (2021) demonstrate models have strong tendencies towards toxicity even with innocuous prompts, including in ways that reflect abhorrent social biascs (c.g. associating Islam with violence). Further, it has been made clear by Kilcher (2022) that these models can be further intensified in their toxicity, which has created controversy in the Al research community over potentially rockless deployment (Liang & Reich 2022). In light of this, we complement our existing evaluation with a finer-grained assessment of toxicily, noling that this also poses interesting connections with the models

(2021) introduced BOLD, which follows a similar structure as RealToxicityPPompp evaluate on both datasets to understand the relationship betweon properties of the prompt and properties of the model generation.

Problem Sctting. For toxicity evaluation, models are presented with a prompt and generate a completion In the case of CeenTTxxiiityProppee these prompts are drawn from OpenWebText (Gokaslan & Cohen 2019), which is a collection of Internet text that replicates the training data of GPT-2 (Radford et al. 2019). To provide a stratified sample of different prompt toxicities, Gehman et al. (2020) ran the text in the corpus through PorspoctiveAPI, binning into 4 bins (10, .25), [0.25, 0.50), [0.50, 0.75), [0.75, 1.00)) and sampling 25k sentences from each. For BOLD, the prompls are instead drawn from Wikipedia, laking the first 6-9 words of an article that mention a (profession, gender, race, religion, or political ideology), which also implies that toxicity measurements for BOLD can be stratified by the associated social category. We note that in comparison to RealToxiciitPrromts the prompts in BOLD tend to be more neutral, generating toxic text is even less justifiable in these contexts. We use Perspective.PPT to measure toxicity in the model completions, reiterating the extensive caveats regarding the validity of PerpsectiveAPl that we discussed in $ 4.8 METRICS- TOXICITT

Description of the 30 models evaluated in this effort: provenance for this information is provided in Appendix D The total tokens, queries, and cost refer to the overall costs we incur to evaluate the given model. For this reason, the costs for open models are measured in GPU hours, the costs for commercial models are measured in the monetary cost calculated using the current pricing scheme for each model, and the costs for the private models were covered by the model providers.
We evaluated 30 state-of-the-art language models varying in size, training procedure, organization, and access. These 30 can be grouped into 16 families (models within family are identical up to model scale),

and further into 12 organizations that created the model. Table documents the models and their properties; further description is deferred to Appendix M
Model selection. As one of the pillars of this work, our aim was common understanding of language models. To achieve this ambition, we had to navigate the access conditions of different models (Liang et al. 2022 Some models were open (full model weights are available for download) (e.g. GPT-NeoX (20B), OPT (175B), BLOOM (176B)), some were limited API access (e.g. davinci (175B). J1-Jumbo v1 (178B), Cohere xlarge v20220609 (52.4B)), and some were closed, but the model owner provided us with access for this roscarch effort (Anthropie-LM v4-s3 (52B), TNLG v2 (530B)). Unfortunately, we did not evaluate models that we could not access (e.g. Google's PaLM (Chowdhery et al. 2022) and LaMDA (Thoppilan et al. 2022), Deep.indds Gopher (Rae et al.; 2021 and RETRO (Borgeaud et al. 2022 We more extensively discuss missing models in g 10.4 MISSING-MODELS We encourage future work to evaluate these models to allow for common undorstanding, and to develop standards for research access to these models (Liang ct al.

Table 6: Hardware and compute for public models. To perform inference on the public models, we used the Together Research Computer. At the time of this work, Together Research Computer connects clusters at several institutions. We mainly use NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti GPUs and NVIDIA A100 GPUs to perform inference. jobs were run on multiple hardware configurations, we report all configurations separated by 6. (with the percentage of GPU hours spent on each configuration).
Computational Resources. For models that required we provide computational resources, we used the Together Research Computer (Table 6 Specifically, Together Research Computer employs pipeline par- allelism to achieve high-throughput inference: the model is partitioned across GPUs and the GPUs com- municate with each other the activations of the model to accomplish forward passes to get the predictions. Generally, Together Research Computer will dispatch inference jobs to idle GPUs. For models hosted via commercial APIs, the providers of these models graciously provided us sufficient API credits to evaluate their models as part of this effort.
Live systems. For both the private models and commercial APIs, we are evaluating live systems that may be regularly updated in some cases. Unfortunately, the practices of (publicly disclosed) version control and the corresponding change logs are uneven across model providers. For this reason, to the extent available, we report model versions (e.g. the version date for Cohere models).
The results we produce are specific to the model versions at the time we queried them: record these timestamps in the results we release. Further, due the scale of our evaluation, it is possible that models change over the duration of our evaluation, but we assume they do not change 59 To the extent the models/ APIs change, we anticipate the change is fairly gradual, therefore the results are not subject to large shocks, but we encourage efforts to longit monitor such changes to clarify their nature (ef. Chen et al., 2022 Similarly, we note that the models we evaluate may be deprecated at some point after our evaluation.

Isolated technical issues. In general, we evaluate every model every scenario (see Figure and for every scenario we measure every metric (see Table 4.. However, in a few isolated cases, we encounter bssuer/concerns that are generally attributable to specific model providers. We believe these issues are quite marginal in inftuencing the overall results (e.g. most models are not affected at all, and even affected models are affected on few scenarios).
First, for scenarios which require probabilities and not just completions (e.g. HellaSwag, MS MARCO (regular), The Pile), we currently are not able to evaluate (possibly because the model itself fundamentally does not yield such probabilities) for T0++ (1IB), T5 (1IB), UL2 (20B), GLM (130B), and YaLM (100B). Second, for two models (J1-Jumbo v1 (178B), J1-Grande v1 (17B)), the API yiclds tokenization error which currently prevents us from reporting results for NaturalQuestions (closed-book), though we expect this to be resolved shortly based on correspondence with the model providers. Third, the model probabilities for completions sampled with temperature zero are incorrect for models from AT21 Labs: for this reason, we do not report results for calibration, MS MARCO (regular), and MS MARCO (TREC). We explicitly acknowledge this in Figure which fully explains why we evaluate 96% of the (model, scenario) pairs instead of 100%.
Model contamination. While we provide some information on the models we evaluate in Table 5 with further details in Appendix | we emphasize that we have uneven and usually limited information on the training procodure for these models (sec Liang ct al. 2022 Consoquently, we generally lack a procise characterization of, and access to, the training data for these models with notable exceptions including the ROOTS corpus for BLOOM (176B yu as well as the Pile corpus along with further training details for GPT-J (6B) and GPT-NcoX (20B) (sec Biderman et al., 2022). Without such access and disclosure of contamination by model providers, cannot verify whether the model was trained the data we evaluate it on. This concern is heightened given we evaluate in few-shot manner (as we discuss in S PROMPTING). so the model being trained on data drawn from this evaluation distribution, even beyond the exact evaluation instances, could compromise the centimaac/ppuritin of such few-shot evaluation. For this reason, we flag known inst inctances&o of model contamination (i.e. where the model creators have disclosed possible contamination for a given scenario) when we report results, and compile this known evidence in Appendix G though overall it is still largely limited. We encourage more proactive documentation/ ieattaationnisschle /dicllsure of model contamination, as well as the use of canaries other methods for minimizing contamination, for future work on language model development to maintain the health of the evaluation ecosystem.
Fairness of evaluation. We prioritize standardization: models are evaluated on the same scenarios, for the same metries, and with the same prompts for 5-shot prompting. However, the models themselves can require vastly different resources to produce, which are only partially accounted for by our measurements of efficiency as one class of costs. In this sense alone, the evaluation can be seen as unfair (cf. Linzen] 2020 Bommasani et al., 2021 $4.4). Even beyond this, particular models may be better suited for specific scenarios, metrics, prompts, and broader adaptation methods. As example, we evaluate TO++ (1IB) in 5-shot fashion, whereas the model was designed for 0-shot prompting, and T5 (11B) similarly was neither designed for in in-context learning nor to follow instructions in prompts. As one concrete recommendation as the language modeling space matures, we recommend model developers explicitly declare how their models should be evaluated and what the scope is of their snneeraaity/hheee models should be preferred. We believe this disclosure will help to strike a productive balance between the general purpose possibilities for language models in the abstract and what is concretely sensible for a given model.
7 Adaptation via prompting
Adaptation transforms a raw language model into a system that makes predictions on test instances. In short, we use prompting as our adaptation method with 5 in-context examples (when in-context examples are included) as depicted in Figure 23 However, many lower-level details must be specified to fully define the adaptation procedure: we discuss important conceptual details here and defer the remainder to Appendix J. Table provides example scenarios along with the full set of adaptation parameters.

Example of the adaptation parameters specified for (i) language mod- cling scenarios, (ii) the TruthfulQA question answering scenario, and (iii) the CNN/DailyMail summa- rization scenario. We also include additional parameters required to fully specify evaluation (i.e. the number of evaluation instances and runs, which influence the statistical validity and reliability of the results), though they are not strictly part of the adaptation process.
In-context examples. Since include 5 in-context examples, two decisions why this number of examples and how select the examples. We follow [rown et al. (2020) in their choice of the number, testing in (8.2) PROMPTING-ANALYSS select examples, we sample examples to ensure class coverage (for classification coverage) order of class frequency, so the most frequent classes will represented in-context. Critically, we choose to the in-contexl examples across evaluation instances, contrast to prior work (e.g. Brown et al., 2020), more accurately perform few-shot evaluation (Perez et al. 2021). While more realistic, this also implies our model performance can be more sensitive to the random choice of in-context examples. Therefore, re-run all experiments 3 times, only varying the randomness in in-context sample selection, to estimate this variance: in 8.2 PROMPTING-ANALYSIS we show results can be especially high variance for some scenarios.

Prompt formatting. Beyond the in-context examples and ovaluation instance, there are many other mechanistic muances involved in formatting the exact string that submitted the language model. Prior work has extensively shown that the design of prompts matters (Le Scao Rush 2021 Liu et al. 2022b

with Bach et al. (0022) introducing repository for prompts Since more broadly view language models as interfaces, we treat prompis as user behavior rather than explicitly optimizing prompts (Shin et al. 2020; "hou et al. 2022). Moving forward, we further expect that it may be desirable for language models to be interoperable meaning different models should be standardized such that they all work well for similar user prompting behavior.
We provide initial evidence of how model performance varies in the exact string formatting of the inputs in 8.2, PROMPTING-ANALYSI,
Adaptation strategy. For many scenarios (e.g. language modeling, text summarization), the way to interact with a language model may appear clear. However, in the case of multiple choice classification, each instance has several answer choices as references (usually with one marked as correct). This structure affords flexibility in how to use a language model that traditionally does not exist in classification (where a model necessarily predicts a distribution over answer choices with the prediction being the argmax).
Prior work introduces two classes of approaches to address adaptation for multiple choice scenarios. The first is the separate approach employed by Brown et al. (2020), where each choice is independently scored by concatenating it with the question and computing its probability according to the LM. In this approach, the probabilities may be further calibraled by the probability the LM assigns to the answer choice alone. The second is the joint approach employed by Hendrycks et al. (2021e), where all the choices are concatenated with the question to form a prompt (e.g., "<question> A. <choice B. <choice 2> Answer:") and the LM predicts the choice index (e.g., A or B). This resembles how one might see multiple choice question presented on exam test. In [8.2] PROMPTING-ANALYSI, we vary this adaptation strategy to test the influence on performance: we find the strategy significantly influences accuracy (among other metrics), and the most accurate strategy depends on the scenario (i.e. no strategy is uniformly more accurate).
8 Experiments and results
Our evaluation offers immense array of model predictions along with quantitative metrics for these predictions. To understand these results, we provide web interface 02 This interface not only provides the quantitative results, as is customary for other benchmarks and leaderboards, but also the underlying model predictions and the exact inputs and prompts that yiclded these predictions. We encourage exploration of these results interactively: we believe grounding and interrogating various quantitative trends by mapping them to explicit model behaviors necessary for the community have common understanding of these models. Here, we provide succinet analysis, foregrounding unique aspects of our evaluation that are made possible by its broad, holistic, and systematic nature.
8.1 Meta-analysis
To summarize, we evaluate 30 language models (e.g. davinci (175B), BLOOM (176B) on 16 core scenarios (e.g. NaturalQuestions, IMDB) for 7 metric categories (e.g. accuracy, fairness). Here, we use comprehensive evaluation to provide answers to important questions in the field like whether model accuracy correlates with scale or if more robust models are less biased.
Inter-metric relationships. A central tenct of our holistic evaluation to foreground motrics beyond accuracy, ensuring that the many desiderata we should expect of systems are indeed measured for each scenario (when possible; see Table 4p. As a consequence, this clarifies how different metrics relate to each other. Many prior works have explored these types of relationships extensively for specific metric pairs: for example, rccuracy-robustness (Miller el al. 2021 Koh et al.) 2021 accuracy-efficiency {Coleman el al. 2017), calibration-fairness (Pleiss et al. 2017 Jones et al. 2022). and bias-toxicity (Sap et al., 2019a Halevy et al. 2021p. In the context of language models, we may posit the relationships found in prior works will continue to bear, but many pairs have not been studied and we do not have definitive evidence that these relationships hold up reliably.

Figure 24: Accuracy X. The relationship between accuracy (x-axis) and each of the 6 metrics (calibra- tion, robustness, fairness, social bias, toxicity, efficiency) we study in this work across all core scenarios and for all models. For calibration error, we measure (CE-10; for bias, we measure bias in gender representation; and for efficiency, we measure denoised inference time.
Therefore, we harness evaluation's 's coverage of these metrics to provide two resources. First, in Figure 24 we depict the relationship between accuracy and cach of the 6 other desiderata. Among other interpretations, this figure helps clarify when more accurate systems coincide with improvements in other key desiderata and when there are important trade-offs. Further, by plotting these on a per-scenario basis, this helps to showcase the underlying heterogeneity in the trends: when are metric relationships consistent across scenarios, when are they highly depedde,, and what are the anomalies? Second, in Figure 25 we consolidate the relationship across models for specific scenarios. Concretely, in each subfigure we consider a pair of metrics, where each grey point corresponds to the Pearson correlation (i.e. linear fit) between these metrics across all models for this scenario 63 Once again, this helps to showcase the spread and heterogeneity in pairwise metric relationships as well as the macro-level trends.
While these figures together provide a wealth of information, we step through them to state specific take- aways. Most strikingly, we find that across all scenarios, accuracy, robust and fairness are extremely strong correlated (see Figure 25). In part, we believe this is a finding contingent on how we chose to measure robustness/ cecttnssssffiiinesss fairness. For robustness, this aligns with findings for other forms of (non-adversarial) robustness, such as the work of Miller et al. (2021) for distributional robustness, which shows in-domain and out-of- domain accuracy lie on a line. On the other hand, for fairness, we find this to be quite surprising. We do emphasize several prior works instead find trade-offi between fairness and accuracy, but we do not believe that our work should be interpreted as contradicting their findings. Not only do we measure fairness differ- ently from these works, but the setting of few-shot prompting language models considerably different from the scttings studied these prior works (Zhang ct al.] 2019a Raghunathan et al. 2020 Dutta et al. 2020 Wang al.) 2021c Zhao & Gordon 2022
We also considered Spearman correlation (t.e. monotonic fit), given this may be more appropriate some metric relation- ships, but found the qualitative trends to largely invariant across these choices of correlations metrics.

Figure 25: Correlation between metrics. The Pearson correlation between each metric and every other metric (x-axis). The small grey dots denote the correlation on each individual scenario. Trends are qualita- tively similarly for other correlation measures (e.g. Spearman correlation). For calibration error, we measure ECE-10; for bias, measure bias in gender representation; and for efficiency, measure denoised inference time.

Shifting focus to calibration, the trends are more scenario-dependent, can be seen for accuracy by the visual clustering of points for a given scenario in Figure 24, Strikingly, we find that the relationship between accuracy and calibration can be quite different for very similar scenarios: for two commonsens--centre QA scenarios, we see accuracy and calibration are highly correlated in OpenBookQA (corrclation of greater than 0.8) whereas accuracy and calibration error are highly correlated in HellaSwag (correlation greater than 0.85). Further, while not unsurprising given the strong correlations between accuracy, robustness, and fairness, the finding that more robust and more fair models can be less well-calibrated is counter-intuitive and surprising.
For generative harms, we also see significant variation in the relationship with other metries. For toxicity, the correlations on average with other metrics are near zero as the toxicity rates themselves for toxicity are relatively constant and near zero, with the clear exception of NarrativeQA in Figure 24 In contrast for bias, we see some positive correlation between accuracy and gender representation bias (lower is better), with an even more striking average correlation of scenarios of more the 0.5 between fairness (higher is botter) and gender representation bias (lower is better). In other words, we see clear and surprising trade-off: models that tend to have better fairness performance, which depends on task-specific performance, tend to have worse gender bias, which depends on model generations but not task-specific performance. As to the two generative harms, we see there are some scenarios where they are fairly anti-correlated, which indicates the less gender biased models tend to be more toxic for these scenarios. These findings indicate it may not suffice to only measure one of these types of harms, and that efforts to reduce one may have side-effects for the other (cf. Xu al.) 2021), which is especially relevant given the harms of toxicity are more straight wetwwwrd/mmmoo /immediate (e.g. more likely to draw mediaa/juurnalistie attention) whereas the harms of bias may be more ggaaull
Finally, for efficiency, we see fairly weak correlations with other metrics. In particular, we do not see strong overarching trade-off between accuracy and efficiency, which we may have anticipated a priori. This is made clear by Figure 24| which instcad showcases that the trends for efficiency tend to be quite scenario-dependent. This is especially true for the denoised metric, given a lot of what drives the measurements relates to the fundamental distributional properties of the scenario (i.e. the length of inputs and outputs).
Direct model comparisons. A central objective for our evaluation is to achieve common and unified understanding of all the models available. In particular, as we document in Appendix F the 30 models we evaluate in this work have been previously evaluated under different conditions for different evaluation suites. In particular, the degree of overlap is surprisingly low and uneven across different models. Consequently, we lack clarity as a field on the relationship between different models.
In Figure 26 we report how different models would fare in a head-to-head comparison for each metric across all the core scenarios 04 We find that text-davinci-002 is clearly the most accurate model, winning in these comparisons more than 90% of the time. Of the remaining models, we see that the largest model TNLG v2 (530B) the second most accurate, followed by Anthropic- LM v4-s3 (52B). In light of the significant difference in model scale of a factor of more than 10 between TNLG v2 (530B) and Anthropic-LM v4-s3 (5213,, given text-davinci-002 and Anthropic-LM v4-s3 (52B) share instruction-tuning in common (which other models, beyond smaller OpenAl text variants, do not), this suggests that instruction-tuning and the use of human feedback is an efficient and effective means for improving model accuracy.
Further, while we will later see the overall relationship between model scale and accuracy can be complicated (Figure 22),, here we see a clear thresholding effect in terms of model scale. All of the models with a win rate for accuracy clearly above chance (e.g. 55% or more) have more than 50B parameters, whereas the sole exception of large model outside this group of the top 10 is YaLM (100B). YaLM (100B) has a surprisingly poor accuracy win rate below 25% perhaps because of significant training
Russian instead of English). Within the top 10, we see model scale appears to be less predictive of rank, as two of the largest models (BLOOM (176B) and J1-Jumbo v1 (178B); both 100B+ parameters) are at the bottom of this tier, whereas Anthropic-LM v4-s3 (52B) and Cohere xlarge v20220609 (52.4B) (the two smallest models in the tier) are
We exclude efficiency we believe head-to-head comparisous based solcly on efficiency not meaningful; instead efficiency needs to considered in conjunction with other metrics like accuracy. Forthcoming work (Nrrayaaan et Forthcoming examines the tradeoffs between accuracy and efficiency.

Figure 26: Head-to-head win rate per each model. We report the fraction of head-to-head comparisons between the given model and all other models, across all scenarios, where the given model is higher along the metric (e.g. more accurale in the accuracy subfigure). If a model was the highest for the given metric for every scenario, it would receive a score of 1.0; if a model received a score of 0.5, then if scenario and second model were chosen at random, the outcome of the comparison would be a coin flip. For metrics where higher is better (Accuracy, Robustness, Fairness), the better models are towards the top, and vice versa. For calibration error, we measure F.CE-10; for bias, we measure bias in gender representation; and for efficiency, we believe these comparisons should not be made without consideration of accuracy and they are further discussed in Narayanan et al. (Forthcoming).

in the top half of this tier. Similarly, within a model family, we see model scale is perfectly monotonically correlated with model accuracy win rate (e.g. see the OpenAT and Cohere model variants). We emphasize this certainly does not imply the models that fare poorly, or the small models, are inaccurate under all conditions: we expect that the prompling approaches we used are poorly suited for these smaller models and, perhaps, it is better to fine-tune these models (cf. Liu et al. 2022a
Consistent with previous findings of accuracy being correlated with robustness and fairness, we see similar rankings of models for those scenarios. However, we note that BLOOM (176B) notably performs considerably better (in a relative sense) for robustness/ bbbustressfairnnss fairness than its accuracy would suggest, with OPT (175B) and GLM (130B) roughly interchanging positions for robustness and accuracy (i.e. GLM (130B) is more robust and less accurate in relative sense compared to OPT (175B)). In contrast, perhaps also as expected given the weak correlations of generative harms with other metrics, we see the rankings for toxicity and bias are notably quite different. We highlight how T0++ (1IB) and davinci (175B) in particular demonstrate the opposite trends when comparing their bias win rates to their toxicity win rates. That is, T0++ (11B) is the most toxic when compared to all other models, but one of the three least (gender) biases, whereas davinci (175B) is one of the four most biased head-to-head, but one of the less toxic models.
consider trends in model accuracies as a function of other relevant variables. In Figure 27 we report model accuracies as a function of time (i.e. model release date). As function of time, we see that the release of GPT-3 (Brown) let al. 2020) clearly establishes a strong baseline for future models across all scenarios, with a distinctive improvement. over T5 (11B). To the extent. there is upward movement. in accuracy since then, we often see it coming with the introduction of Anthropic-LM v4-s3 (52B) roughly 18 months later in December, 2021 (the first model use reinforcement learning with human leedback of those we evaluate), though we see a surprisingly clear monotonic improvement over the intermediary period for NaturalQuestions.
Accuracy as function of other variables. To build on these model comparisons,
In Figure 28 WC stratify the results for accuracy based on model accessibility (see Liang et al. 2022) as we discuss in 1 MODELS For each access category, we report the per-scenario accuracy of the model in that category that is the most accurate (full bar) and that is generally the most accurate (smaller dark sub-bar; basod on Figure 26). This mcans the sub-bar is always the accuracy of OPT (175B) for open models, text-davinci-002 for limited access models, and TNLG v2 (530B) for closed models. We see that these models for limited access are consistently the best in their categories, but OPT (175B) is sometimes

improved over (c.g. 10 point improvement for MMLU and CivilComments) as is TNLG v2 (530B) (e.g. more than 5 point improvement for NaturalQuestions (open-book) and TruthfulQA).
Overall, we see the accuracies generally fall in the direction limited access >> closed > open, which aligns with Figure 26) With that said, models, in that the best public model is usually somewhat competitive in accuracy (i.e. within 5 points of the best non-open model), with the notable exceptions of more knowledge-intensin scenarios of MMLU, NaturalQuestions (closed-book) and TruthfulQA as well as both information retrieval scenarios. This is especially noteworthy given we have yet to see models being open-sourced with significant use of human preferences and reinforcement learning from human foedback, which may further bridge this gap. However, do highlight there other confounds: some models may not be disclosed the public (let alone released), some models may be disclosed after significant delay, and some highly accurate models are not yet evaluated in HELM (e.g. Gopher, Chinchilla, PaLM; see 10.4 MISSING-MODELS
some reason for optimism regarding open science through open-sourced
We hope our findings the relationship between model accossiblity and model performance (c.g. accuracy) will inform the development of community norms and standards around model access/releass (Liang el al. 2022).
Predicting accuracy. Given the resource-intensive nature of producing language models, especially the most capable models (for which we take accuracy for different scenarios proxy), the ability to predict model capabilitios@01) is valuable for orienting decision-making. Prior work demonstrates model scale (whether measured in model size, data size, or compute/ compute/training training FLOPs) reliably predicts model loss for language models, establishing scaling laws (Kaplan et al. 2020) Hoffmann et al. 2022). On the other hand, work has
also shown that certain qualitative capabilities (e.g. in-context learning; Brown et al. 2020 emerges unpre- dictably beyond a critical scale threshold (see Wei et al. 2022b). And many works have implicitly assumed and demonstrated that improvements in language modeling loss (i.e. perplexity) translate to improvements downstream use cases. In Figure 29 report the relationship between model scale and accuracy, while in Figure 30 we report perplexily (measured on The Pile) vs. accuracy.
In light of the very consistent picture that model scale within a family led to reliable improvements in accuracy (Figure 26 we see that this does not generalize across model familics. If we are to plot model scale vs. accuracy, we find the relationship is very chaotic; model scale (agnostic to model family) as measured parameters a poor predictor of trends in accuracy. Unfortunately, the data on different models was too
65 would be similarly interesting to predict our properties (e.g- those related to harms), though here we focus accuracy. We do note that our evaluation deliberately surfaces all the necessary metrics required project other properties.

sparse to attempt a similar analysis in terms of training FLOPs, but expect such analysis may be more helpful in demonstrating crisper relationship between training compute and downstream accuracy. When we accumulate the performance of models in Figure 29 so as to understand if scale appears more necessary to improve accuracy, we do see some notable jumps for many scenarios both in the range of 12B paramoters and 50B parameters. These jumps are specifically attributable to TO++ (11B) and Anthropic-IM v4-s3 (52B), which likely instead indicates that attributing these jumps to scale confounded by other changes (i.e. the training procedure of T0++ (11B) to deliberately improve few-shot prompting performance and the RLHF involved in Authropic-LA. LM v4-s3 (52B)). And we similarly see the relationship between perplexity (or, more accurately, log bits-per- on The Pile and downstream accuracy is similarly messy (Figure 30 though we expect the confound of contamination (some models are trained on The Pile and others are not) exacerbates the messiness of these findings.

Variance across seeds. For a subset of models and scenarios, we evaluate each scenario with three different random sets of in-context examples. We compute the range of the accuracy metric (maximum minus minimum value over the three random seeds) and visualize across models and scenarios.
Figure 31:
8.2 Prompting analysis
While the benchmark we design is general, we evaluate 30 models by adapting them through few-shot prompting (sce $7 PROMPTING). Consequently, here study variations across several of these models with respect. to dillerent design decisions vnd in prompting 68 Together, these analyses help clarify the potential brittleness of model behavior to prompt design, which bears on the legitimacy and reliability of using prompting to build practical systems.
Choice of in-context examples. Given that we adapt language models through few-shot prompting, the selection of the specific in-context examples could significantly influence model performance. In particular, unlike prior work (e.g. Brown al.) 2020), use the same examples across all evaluation instances, rather than selecting different in-context examples for each evaluation instance, as this better reflects the realities of few-shot adaptation (Perez et al. 2021 (We describe our specific selection algorithm which, to first- approximation, is random selection from the scenario's training set while ensuring coverage of different As a consequence, this exacerbates the variation obscrved for different choices in-context examples (consistent with the high variability one might witness in practice if they truly only have few examples).

To measure this sensitivity, repeat all evaluations for 3 runs, meaning choices of the in-context examples. To explore the sensitivity of model results to this choice, hover over a specific entry to see the variance across runs on the website. Further, the predictions across the runs can be found for a given evaluation instance. Additionally, we visualize the accuracy range (best minus worst performance) across seeds Figure 31 We observe that the performance of most models tends to be relatively consistent: the median range (across scenarios) is below 0.03 for 24 out of 28 models (exceptions are YaLM (100B), davinci (175B), curie (6.7B), ada (350M)). Interestingly, we find that there scenarios where all models tend to exhibit higher variance. A prominent example is NaturalQuestion (open-book), where the median range is 0.1730 (c.g., davinci (175B) obtains Fl scores of 0.376, 0.611, and 0.636 across the three sets of in-context examples)

Figure 32: Number of in-context examples. For each model, we set the maximum number of in-context examples to [0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16] and fit as many in-context examples as possible within the context window. We plot performance as function of the average number of in-context examples actually used.
Number of in-context examples. By default, we either use 5 in-context examples, or fewer examples for scenarios where 5 examples do not fit within in the context window. To test how the number of examples (i.e. the sample efficiency of adaptation) influences performance, we vary the maximum number of examples across 10, 4, 8, 16). In Figure 32 we plot model performance as a fraction of the average number of in-context examples provided (which may be fewer than the maximum stated above if they do not fit inside the context window). To explore the results further, including the model generations, see https: 7/crfm. serefm.stanford.. wwwtaaafordedu/heleaee.ee edu/helm/vO.1 1. 0/t weg.goraaalaaiinno.oom inniiinnconnnn context
We find that all models show clear improvement from n = 0 to n n= 1, sometimes having 0% accuracy in the zero-shot setting, with the consistent exception of CNN CNN/DailyMail where zero-shot accuracy better for almost all models. We posit that models may not effectively understand the appropriate length distribution and the poor reference summaries may comparatively mislead the model in the one-shot setting compared to the zero-shot setting. However, for larger numbers of in-context examples, we do not see consistent benefits across all models and all scenarios. The sole exception is OPT (175B) which, besides CNN/DailyMail, shows a perfectly monotonically increasing relationship between number of shots and model accuracy for NaturalQuestions (open-book), IMDB, and CivilComments.
Formatting of prompt. As we describe in S7 PROMPTING beyond the in-context examples and the evaluation instance, there are several other details required fully specily a prompt (e.g. instructions that describe what the model should do). Since this formatting exists in the space of natural language, it is difficult to specify concrete axes to systematically vary across (i.c. in contrast to how can specify range consider for the mumber of in-context examples). Consequently, fairly ad hoc/ her/abiitrary changes to the prompt format involving instructions, input prefixes, output prefixes, and input suffixes. The exact changes to the prompt can be found at https://crfft http:///rf..sssaforddoooo stanford. wtwaanor.eeduu/oeooeeo edu/helml vo. 1. http://ggroppaaaaaaiiiio pwwpppss_ppppp____ along with the results.
consider the following motivated but
The clear finding that the best prompt formatting is not consistent across models (i.e. models can stand to improve in their interoperability). In particular, one variants lead to an accuracy of 67.3% for Anthropic-LM v4-s3 (52B) on NaturalQuestions (open-book). whereas the prompt performs very poorly for BLOOM (176B), which drops from an accuracy around 60% to 8.5%. In some cases, believe the prompting changes may lead to poor ppor/undesirable interactions with the tokenizer, given the models use different Lokenizers in several cases. For GLM (130B), we are intrigued to see the prompt involving mentioning the model an expert Al assistant performs best across all four scenarios (NaturalQuestions (open-book) CNN / MaillMaal, IMDB, and CivilComments) we look in terms of accuracy. Specifically, the prompt includes instructions of "I am an expert AI assistant who is here to help you with the following.", along with an
of "Passage: "; diiput_ssufi suffix of on and an output_ppreffett of " "nswer:"

Figure 33: Multiple-choice adaptation. For each adaplation method (joint, separate, and separate calibrated), we compare models across scenarios.
Formulation of multiple choice scenarios. Beyond the details of the prompt, we can conceptually imagine different ways to make of the language interface to perform the same underlying scenario. As discuss in Appendix [ in the case of multiple choice scenarios, we could provide the model with all of the answer choices and task it with selecting the correct choice (joint). Or we could provide the model with cach answer choice as a separate query of the model, and see which answer choice is assigned higher probability (separate). And we could further calibrate the model-assigned probabilities by the probability the model assigns to the corresponding answer choice when presented standalone (separate-calibrated
The results for these multiple choice scenarios as a function of this choice can be found at https://crfm stanford. wdw/helm/wweeeeeeeee vo. http://hmmmmoo1..///rrrrroro// wtt.:///oopaaaaattiooooomm wwwpmmlll_meeeeeeeeeeee
and they visualized in Figure 33 We observe that the method that maximizes accuracy is largely determined by the scenario, whereas it is generally consistent across models for a given scenario. Taking HellaSwag as case study, for all six calibrated > joint. This choice can be very consequential
models, the methods follow separate > separate-calibruted for the model accuracy: for OPT (175B), the accuracies are 79.1%, 54.8%, and 30.2% respectively. Further, the trends are entirely inverted for calibration error, as may be expected. So, overall for HellaSwag, across both desiderata and for all six models, there is clear and strict Pareto dominance in adaptation methods of separate > separate-calibmated completions of incomplete textual sequence, the preference for the separate adaption method over the joint adaptation method is fairly intuitive and precisely aligns with the empirical findings. However, we do note the methods pattern differently for specific models in terms of efficiency. In particular, the separate methods require a query for each answer choice, whereas the joint method requires a single, much longer (especially due the inclusion of in-context examples) query. This manifests in lower denoised inference times for separate over joint for BLOOM (176B) (0.075s vs. 0.271s), but the opposite trend for OPT (175B) (0.71s vs. 0.187s), despite the fact the models are evaluated on the same infrastructure and are near-identical in overall parameter count.
joint. In the case of HcllaSwag, given the dataset is designed
For the other sccnarios, we do not observe as model-agnostic preferences over the adaptation methods. In general, for accuracy, we find separale-calirrueed > separale > joint for OpenBook QA, TruthfulQA, and MMLU for five the six models. The consistent exception is Anthropic-LM v4-s3 (52B) where the preference consistently joint > separate-caläbratee > separate. We find this to be quite striking: the adaptation method that elicits the most accurate behavior from Anthropic-LM v4-33 (52B) elicits the least accurate behavior from the other five models. These gaps significant well: OpenBookQA.

presenting accuracies in the order (sepanate-calimmatd,, separate, joint), we see (58.6%, 44.6%, 30.9%) for OPT (175B), whereas for Anthropic-IM v4-s3 (52B) we see (55.8%, 44.4%, 69.6%). That is, if OPT (175B) and Anthropic-LM v4-s3 (52B) were compared using the seperate-calitrated adaptation method (or the seporate method), they would achieve near-equal accuracies (within 3%), but they are almost 40% apart when using the joint method, and 12% apart when comparing the per-model accuracy-maxiiizznng method. This raises fundamental questions about the appropriate way to compare across models and the sense which uniform standardization is fair; we encourage future work to more extensively look into this and develop clearer best practices.

For the two scenarios where we have access to hand-crafted contrast sets, for cach model, we plot the robustncss the model on that scenario (worst-case performance across perturbations of each instance) as a function of its standard accuracy.
is the most accurate model for all 9 scenarios. The margin however varies greatly across different scenarios: the largest margin is on TruthfulQA where text-davinci-002 achieves accuracy of 62.0% compared to second place from Anthropic-LM v4-s3 (52B) at 35.4%, whereas the smallest margins are for NaturalQuestions (closod-book) (38.9% for text-davinci-002 vs. 38.5% for TNLG v2 (530B)) and HcllaSwag (81.5% for text- davinci-002 vs. 81.1% for Cohere xlarge v20220609 (52.4B)). As this suggests, the most accurate models across the question answering beyond text-davinci-002 is much more variable: all of Anthropic-LM, LM v4-s3 (52B), T0++ (11B), Cohere xlarge v20220609 (52.4B), OPT (175B), TNLG v2 (530B), davinci (175B), and GLM (130B) are top-3 model in terms of accuracy for some QA scenario, though for 5 scenarios Anthropic- LM v4-s3 (52B) is the second-most. accurate and for 6 TNLG v2 (530B) is the third-most. accurate.
For calibration, we see several instances of models being very poorly calibrated. For example, on HellaSwar wag, which is one of the scenarios where models have the highest absolute accuracies, the two most accurate models (text-davinci-002,, Cohere xlarge v20220609 (52.4B) both have calibration errors of at least 0.28 (0.286, 0.341 rospectively). In fact, tend to see the J1 models are poorly calibrated these scenarios, with all models incurring an ECE-10 of roughly 0.5 more for both NaturalQuestions variants, QuAC, NarrativeQA. and TruthfulQA. In contrast, some models are quite calibrated for some scenarios (e.g. Cohere xlarge v20220609 (52.4B) has a calibration crror of 0.06 on NarrativeQA).
For robustness and fairness, we see all models lend to show consistent drops of to 10 points for all scenarios. Consistent with the broader trends, we find robustness and fairness are strongly correlated with accuracy, with no obscrved cases of the most accurate models suffering ospecially large drops for robustness /fairnesss One exception is HellaSwag, where the three most accurate models are the only models with standard accuracies above 80% (text-davinci-0022 = 81.5%, Cohere xlarge v20220609 (52.4B) = 81.1%, Anthropic-LM v4-s3 (52B) = 80.4%), and only text-davinci-002 remains about 70% in the presence of fairness perturbations at 70.3%. Cohere xlarge v20220609 (52.4B) in particular experiences the largest drop of more than 15 points to 66%, which is a worse robust accuracy than TNLG v2 (530B) at 67.8% despite TNLG v2 (530B) being 1.2% worse in standard accuracy. In other words, the model with higher standard accuracy has lower accuracy the presence of fairness perturbations, with 3% larger drop due these perturbations. In terms of robustness to semantics-altering perturbations (equivariance), 2020) for the BoolQ scenario. In Figure 35 we find that the performance of all models drops significantly when evaluated for equivariance. Interestingly, there is a cluster of models with moderate accuracy, but really low robustness: e.g., GPT-J (6B) achieves an accuracy of 55% but a robust of just 3.6%.

(and/or false positives from the Perspective API being more common for this domain). Looking at biases for A we see models generally show similar biases for all four of (gender, race] x {demographic representation, stereotypical associations). The one exception is for racial representation, where all but three models achieve bias scores of 0.667 (lower is better/less biased), whereas UL2 (20B) and T5 (11B) have scoress around 0.35 and YaLM (100B) around 0.45. Looking al the model generations, we do see some evidence for discrepancies in model generations, though we also expect the effects referenced are still somewhat weak given models infrequently mention racial words that we track for this scenario. Beyond NarrativeQA, models tend to demonstrate similar biases for given scenario.
Information retrieval. To further explore the results for this task, see https://crffit senfff.stafoord edu/ helm/v0.1 o//grooupi
Unless otherwise stated, our results report the scores from the boosted setting, which aim in principle to establish an intuitive upper-bound on model quality. Whereas in the vanilla settings models re-rank the top-30 passages from BM25, in the boosted setting models re-rank the top-30 passages from BM25 as well as every passage that has an explicit relevance assessment, even when these passages aren't 't retrieved by BM25. Refer to Section B.2 for a discussion of our IR metrics and a detailed motivation for the boosted setting.
For information retrieval on MS MARCO (regular) and MS MARCO (TREC), we begin by observing that the best-performing models show competitive accuracy scores, especially under the boosted setting, The most effective models on MS MARCO (regular) are text-davinci-002, which scores 39.8% RR@10 in the boosted setting and 22.4% RR@10 in the vanilla BM25 top-30 setting, and TNLG v2 (530B), which scores 39.7% RR@10 (boosted) setting and 22.5% RR@10 (vanilla), with Cohere xlarge v20220609 (52.4B) being the next most accurate model at 33.1% RR@10 10 (boosted) and 17.6% (vanilla). To put these scores in perspective, the RR@10 of our underlying classical retricver (i.c., BM25) is 19.0%. That is, in the vanilla top-30 selting, both texi-davinci-002 and TNLG v2 (530B) obtain better ranking than the underlying retriever average, whereas other models like Cohere xlarge v20220609 (52.4B) perform worse.
We see a similar trend but with larger gains on the more denscly-annotated MS MARCO (TREC). In particular, lext-davinci-002 is the most accurate model at 65.3% NDCG@10 (boosted) and 61.0% NDCG@10 (vanilla), then TNLG v2 (530B) at 64.7% (boosted) and 60.7% (vanilla), and Cohere xlarge v20220609 (52.4B) at 52.8 (boosted) and 53.4% (vanilla). On MS MARCO (TREC), BM25ss NDCG@10 is 50.6%. Given the much more dense annotations in the MS MARCO (TREC) setting, we see that these models deliver considerably larger gains over BM25, under both the boosted and the vanilla setting, compared with their gains MS MARCO (regular). For MS MARCO (TREC), the boosted sctting includes all of the assessed passages, including many relevant and many non-relevant passages. Naturally, the gains for the best-performing models are larger in the boosted setting. Perhaps surprisingly, for Cohere xlarge v20220609 (52.4B), quality is diminished in the boosted setting: effectively, this model is distracted by the non-relevant passages that are in the assessed pool more than it benefits from the relevant documents that are not in BM25's top-30 results.
Overall, these few-shot effectiveness scores are relatively competitive but they nonetheless trail the current state-of-the-art retrieval systems by a considerable margin. At the time of writing, in MS MARCO (regular), the top-scoring system on the public leaderboard scores 45% RR@10 on the test set. Compared to this, the models we test score up to 39.8% RR@10 in the boosted setting, which is comparable to recent state-of-the-art standalone retricvers like ColBERTv2 (Santhanam et al. 2021), and 22.5% in the vanilla setting that re-ranks BM25's top-30, which is comparable to simple neural ranker submissions from late 2018 and carly 2019 like Conv-KNRM (Dai et al. 2018) and DuctV2 (Mitra & Craswell 2019). In MS MARCO (TREC), the best-scoring system that participated in the original NIST competition scored 76.5% NDCG@10. Compared to this, the models test score up to 65.3% NDCG@10 in the boosted setting, which is within 2-3 points of the ANCE (Xiong et al.) 2020) system from mid 2020, and 61.0% in the vanilla setting, which is more effective than the Siamese BERT embeddings baseline of Gao et al. 2021c).
These promising accuracy scores for few-shot adaptations of language models are promising, espocially since it is not inherently obvious that such models are well-suited for the nuances of these passage ranking scenarios. In particular, these scenarios (at least as realized through our adaptations) necessitate a strong degree of
62

Published in Transactions on Machine Learning Research (08/2023)
calibration, in which the probabilities assigned to each of the "Yes" "Yes"/"No" outputs accurately reflects the continuous degree of relevance of passage to a query. Out of the MS MARCO corpus with 9M passages, numerous passages can carry varying degrees of relatedness to a given query (Craswell et al. 2020).
Beyond accuracy, we hone in on the robustness and fairness of the systems we study. Robustness and fairness have been considered many ranking problems (e.g. Zehlike et al. 2017 Singh & Joachims 2019), but such concerns have only become mainstream in the past few years [ We find that text-davinci-002 only presents minor drops in accuracy in the presence of both robustness and fairness perturbations for MS MARCO (TREC), but otherwise most models show some drops, though no model shows especially large drops. To highlight an interesting case, Cohere xlarge v20220609 (52.4B) shows the largest drops for MS MARCO (regular), going from 33.1 standard RR@10 to 29.4 fairness RR@10 and 25.3 RR@10 in the presence of robustness perturbations. We highlight the potential for future work to further explore cross- wooss-lnguul retrieval settings for both language and dialects, in that we currently perturb both the passages and the query for our dialect perturbations but it may be more realistic to assume the passages are, for example, in SAE but the queries are in AAE to undersland performance for AAE speakers.
Finally, in spite of the promising results in terms of model accuracy, we note that scale is critical to many information retrieval applications, necessitating models be efficient. For example, to deploy information retrieval systems on the web in search engines, systems must perform very efficient inference to be useful, which is why amortized indexing strategies have been widely studied and adopted. In contrast, we see these language models when adapted via prompting are drastically less efficient, perhaps also because of the large model sizes (e.g. both of the most accurate models are more than 100B parameters). In particular, the idealized denoised inference time for text-davinci-002 is 0.21s per request (i.e., query-passage pair to be scored). If these requests have to be issued sequentially per query, this is likely too slow, even though we are evaluating models on a variant where only 30 passages are being ranked for each query. However, it is in principle possible to parallelize such scoring across passages (for a given query), and thus a latency of 0.21s could be acceptable if such parallelism is seen as cost-cffective.
Summarization. To further explore the results for this task, see https://crff...... /ttp::::///ttmssssfoodd edu/helm/vO. 1. /0/grouppsummarzzat..oo
For summarization CNN ANN//DilyMail and XSUM, we begin by observing that the ROUGE scores tend to be much lower than our qualitative judgments of summary quality, consistent with Goyal et al. 2022). With that said, broadly, we did find that the ROUGE-2 2 scores did correlate with more accurate models ccross-thee-bore board (e.g. the top models on both datasets based on ROUGE-2 largely overlapped with those at the top of the accuracy subfigure of Figure 26 In general, we saw a strong correlation with model size, as the largest models lended to be those with high ROUGE-2 scores for both scenarios, notably with TNLG v2 (530B) having the highest score for both scenarios with a reasonable margin for XSUM at 17.9 points when compared with second-place OPT (175B) at 15.6 points and no other model above 14 points.
Beyond model accuracy, we found that getting models to produce summaries of appropriate length (so as to match the distribution of reference summaries in the dataset) was a key challenge, especially given models only observe a few in-context examples and, therefore, may be poorly specialized to the distribution (when compared to models explicitly trained/fine-te /fine-tuned on the distribution, for which automated ROUGE scores may be more useful). In particular, comparing the compression scores across models, we see considerable variation, and the trends were not consistent across the two datasets. As a very striking example, ada (350M) was one of the most compressive on CNN ZNN/DailyMail but the least compressive on XSUM by a wide margin (1.65 vs the next least compressive in babbage (1.3B) at 6.12 where higher scores means more compression), suggesting the ada (350M) model especially did not "understand" the specification of length requirements in the instructions in the prompt. In terms of the degree of abstraction in model generations, we found that the relationship between model quality and abstraction (mcasurod in terms of both coverage and density from Grusky et al. 2018)) was very variable, with few consistent trends
Since the summarization scenarios required the longest-form generation of all core scenarios, we paid special attention to the presence of generative harms. For stereotypical associations (for both race and gender) on both datasets, we found that all models exhibited very similar biases, especially on CNN CNN/DailyManl In
For example, see the TREC Fair Ranking track:

part, we think alternative forms of measurement that propose means for controlling for bias in the source documents that are being summarized (i.e. attributing bias to the dataset vs. the model's specific tendencies in generation) could be helpful in providing more acuity. In contrast, we saw more variation for demographic representation, but the trends across datascts and across race and gender were inconsistent. Interestingly, with respect to demographic representation YaLM (100B) demonstrated the greatest racial bias on both datasets and the greatest gender bias on CNN CNN/Dailyy /DiillMail (e.g. racial bias of 0.651 on ENNiDailyMail for race compared to the next highest of 0.399 from GPT-J (6B)), but was one of the least gender biased models on XSUM. And for toxicity, we found the incidence of toxicity to be very low for both datasets, suggesting the risk of toxicity for such innocuous use cases to largely be marginal. With that said, we emphasize this is summarization of news documents, where models be inherently less likely to generate toxic content given the domain of the documents. And we do note, while a very low rate of 0.6%, TNLG v2 (530B) achieves the highest toxicity rate in addition to the highest ROUGE-2 accuracy on XSUM.
Sentiment analysis. To further explore the results for this task, see htttt:///crfffa wtwrrff.ssaaffrr..o www..o.deeeeedeeeeell.. vo. 19.100/750 srtts//er analysis For sentiment analysis on IMDB, we see model accuracies are often quite high (i.e. greater than 90%). with the top models hitting an accuracy around 95% (J1-Grande vi (17B), J1-Large v1 (7.5B), BLOOM (176B), Cohere xlarge v20220609 (52.4B), GPT-NeoX (20B), OPT (175B), TNI.G v2 (530B), text-davinci-002, GLM (130B)) and GL.M (130B) reporting the top accuracy by a thin margin at 95.5%. The strong performance in terms of accuracy of the much smaller GPT-J (6B) and J1-Large v1 (7.5B) models is noteworthy for this scenario, well the performance of BLOOM (176B), which generally underperforms on other scenarios given its multilingual training contrasted with our English- specific evaluation. Further, we are surprised to see that J1-Jumbo v1 (178B) lags a few points behind the other J-1 models and the generally high-aceuracy Authropic-LM v4-s3 (52B) model is also more middle-of- the-pack with an accuracy of around 93.4%. A few models perform worse than chance france/majority baseline, namely T5 (11B) and UT.2 (20B), with TO++ (11B), Cohere small v20220720 (410M), and babbage (1.3B) slightly above 50% (though ada (350M) is well above chance 78.4%).
The most accurate models are fairly well-calibrated, with GLM (130B) being somewhat miscalibrated with a calibration error of ECF-10 = 0.18 and BLOOM (176B) being quite miscalibrated with ECE-10 = 0.353. YaLM (100B) is especially poorly calibrated with ECE-10- = 0.418 alongside a standard accuracy of 83.6%. For robustness and fairness, we see the size of the drops in accuracy are generally consistent: the gaps are notably quite small for text-davinci-002 (less than a 1% drop for either fairness or robustness) and quite large for GPT-NcoX (20B) (94.8% standard accuracy drops to 91.2% robust accuracy). In particular, GPT-NcoX (20B) is the second most, accurate model but it is outside the top 10 models in terms of robust accuracy. Since IMDB is one of the two datasets where we have access to contrast set, we further look into the relationship in robustness behavior for invariances and equivariances. In contrast to the invariances that use automatic perturbations, the human-authored contrast set examples that are semantics-alterinn show significantly larger drops in accuracy (see Figure 35). Notably, the most accurate model in GLM (130B) experiences one of the largest drops, with its accuracy dropping from 95.6% standard accuracy for the contrast set examples to 86.9% in the presence of these perturbations. This comes in clear contrast to the synthetic perturbations that were semantics- prratticsppeerringgg which yielded a drop of only 1.7% for GLM (130B). Similar to the case of BoolQ, we find a cluster of models with moderate accuracy, but really low robustness: e.g., babbage (1.3B) achieves an accuracy of 52% but robustness of only 8.6%. In this sense, approaches like the contrast sets and counterfactual techniques explored by Kaushik et al. (2019) and Gardner et al. (2020)
may be necessary to more completely surface robustness issues in language models (and automated, automated/scalabbe scalable tochniques may undorcstimate such concerns). After all, a model that docs not correctly change its prediction when the input changes in a semantics-altering way, is likely latching on irrelevant features of the input.
Toxicity detection. To further explore the results for this task, see httptttt//rtt..ssss stanf ord. edu/helm hmlm// vo. 10.1.0/22 wt....//grrop==txxicom ctrprtoxxccityyddeetttioooo For toxicity detection on CivilComments, the most striking finding is models do not do particularly well, with many achieving accuracies marginally above 50% (i.e chance accuracy for this binary classification task). Anthropic-LM v4-s3 (52B), BLOOM (176B), TNLG v2 (530B), and text-davinci-002 are the only models above 60% accuracy, with all other models being at or below 55% accuracy. Of these, text-davinci-002 is clearly the most accurate 66.8%, whereas the other three are

around 61.0% accuracy. In fact, some models that are generally quite accurate (e.g. Cohere xlarge v20220609 (52.4B), OPT (175B), davinci (175B)) all get at most 53.2% accuracy, with OPT (175B) basically achieving chance accuracy at 50.2%.
For calibration, all models are poorly calibrated (e.g. ECE-10 of at least 0.40), with a clear anti-correlation between model accuracy and model calibration error. Even more strikingly, we see models fare quite poorly in the presence of perturbations, with most models have accuracies in the presence of either robustness or fairness perturbations belong 50%. For example, text-davinci-002 drops precipitously from well above 50% to below it in the presence of fairness perturbations (66.8% to 46.3%), and TNLG v2 (530B) shows similar-sized drop in the presence of robustness perturbations (60.1% to 40.9%).
To build on this connection, we deliberately chose CivilComments to study toxicity detection given the unique availability of group identity metadata regarding the subjects mentioned in the comments. For all of the subsets (male, female, LGBTQ, Christian, Muslim, other religions, Black, White), we see the four models that performed clearly above chance overall continue to retain accuracies around 60 to 65%. For gender/sexuality, we see LGBTQ performance is clearly the worst for all models, but surprisingly several models do worse for the male split compared to the female split (and the drops in accuracy are smaller for female than male in the presence of perturbations). On the other hand, for religion we see almost all models are considerably more accurate and robust. for comments mentioning Christians as compared to comments mentioning Muslims, For example, for the Christian split, the Anthropic-Li v4-s3 (52B) accuracy improves to 62.8% from the overall accuracy of 61.0%, whereas it declines to 54.7% for the Muslim split. And the accuracies for the other religion split lie in between, generally quite close to the overall accuracy for a given model. Finally, for race we find the accuracies generally significantly less robust on the Black split, most notably with OPT (175B) dropping precipitously from a standard accuracy of 51.3% on the Black split to 8.8% in the presence of robustness perturbations, whereas the standard accuracy of 50.8% on the White split drops considerably less to 24.3%. We note this is an especially critical relationship between fairness, robustness, and toxicity detection performance, given the potential disparate impact of censoring the voices of the alreadly-marginalizel on Internet platforms (i.e. the primary site of automated toxicity detection and content moderation). building on the findings of |Sap ct al. 2019a).

GLM (130B) is clearly the most accurale, with overall accuracy of 85.8%, though surprisingly J1-Grande v1 (17B) is the only other model with at least 80% accuracy at exactly 80% accuracy. J1-Jumbo v1 (178B), Cohere xlarge v20220609 (52.4B), and another surprisc in GPT-J (6B) all achieve accuracics of at least 78%, whereas the overall most accurate models in lext-davinci-002 (66.7%) and, especially, Anthropic-LM v4-s3 (52B) (50.8%) are considerably less accurate on R.F... In fact, this is a very rare instance where davinci (175B) outperforms text-davinci-002 in terms of accuracy, with an accuracy of 67.5%.
In terms of calibration, the accurate models all have calibration errors around ECE-10 0.2, with the clear exception of GPT-J (6B), which is very miscalibrated while being quite accurate with an ECF-10 of 0.457. The models also pattern quite differently in terms of robustness, with J1-Grande v1 (17B) dropping nearly 10 points from its overall standard accuracy to its robust accuracy, whereas GLM (130B) only drops 3.3%. In contrast, all of the models do not show significant drops in the presence of fairness perturbations with the clear exception of text-davinci-002, which goes from 66.7% overall standard accuracy to 40.0% in the presence of fairness perturbations.
Since RAFT itself is composed from 11 relatively diverse sub-scenarios, we further consider how model performance breaks down across these sub-sccnarios. In general, we see that the difficulty of different sub- scenarios can be very variable: some models achieve accuracies of 97.5% on the Systematic Review Inclusion task, whereas the best accuracy on the One Stop English task is 62.5% from GPT-J (6B), which itself is a notable outlier as most models are belong 30%. Across the subsets, we see that text-davinci-002 consistently performs accurately, whereas the performance of other accurate models across splits is more variable (e.g. GLM (130B)). However, text-davinci-0022 overall accuracy is brought down by a very poor accuracy of 40.8%

Systematic Review Inclusion (the second worst accuracy for this subset) compared to GLM (130B), which gels an accuracy of 97.5%. The heterogeneity in the sub-scenarios in RAFT proves to be quite useful in discriminating different models that are generally performant for all of these classification problems in the long-tail vs. those that may be highly accurate for some problems but not fare as well for other problems. this sense, RAFT helps speak to the generalizability of models across the broad canon of lext classification that may be encountered practical deployments, given the ubiquity of natural language and the demand for basssffcaaonn/caaeggrrzaaooooooi

Language. To further explore the results for this targeted evaluation, see https::/crff. http://crrrmsssffooddooo stanford. edu/ and Figure 36 For the language modeling scenarios, begin by noting that the models trained on The Pile are consistently the most accurate The Pile to no surprise. However, these models also tend to be the most accurate on the other two language modeling scenarios: for TwitterAAE and ICE, the most accurate models are GPT-J (6B), GPT-NeoX (20B), OPT (66B), OPT (175B), and BLOOM (176B). This suggests that The Pile, when compared with the other training sets for these models, may yield better transfer to other language modeling datasets. Further, we are surprised to see the other models trained on The Pile, especially Anthropic-LM v4-s3 (52B) and TNLG v2 (530B), which are generally the most accurate models the core scenarios (Figure 26), are actually less accurate Twitter AAE and ICE compared to models not trained on The Pile. Overall, see that the models that perform most accurately on all language modeling scenarios are quile different and are poorly correlated with the accuracy trends for core scenarios.
Further, since TwitterAAE. and ICE provide unique demographic data, we examine performance disparities for these scenarios. For Twitter AEE, we see clear and consistent trend: all models perform noticeably worse on the African American English subset when compared with the White English subset 68 Consistent
with prior work on other language technologies (Blodgett & OConnor 2017 Koenecke al., 2020), this indicates a clear performance disparity between language model performance for African American speakers vs. White speakers along the lines of historical marginalization. All models for the Black subset have BPB above 2.0 (lower is better), whereas almost all models for the White subset are below 1.9, with the best model of OPT (175B) having a BPB 1.506 for the White English subset and 2.114 for the AAE subset. For ICE, across all four regional subsets (East Africa, Hong Kong, India, USA), the most accurate models are the same as those mentioned above for ICE and the other language modcling scenarios overall 09 Further, we see the accuracies for the USA and East Africa tend to be better across all models, with EA being slightly worse, and then India and Hong Kong are clearly worse. For binary gender, we find that the female subset is consistently, but slightly, worse for model accuracy compare to the male subset.
Turning to BLiMP, we find that all models achieve similar accuracies. In fact, even on specific subsets for specific linguistic phenomena, we see the accuracies are quite similar. We are surprised to see text-davinci- 002 is not one of the most accurate models overall and, instead, is one of the least accurate models on the irregular forms (morphology) and quantifiers (semantics) subsets. Given its consistently high accuracies on

and Figure 37 Across all five knowledge-intensive QA scenarios, we see text-davinci-One the most accurate. In particular, the gap in accuracies is especially salient for Truth- fulQA, where text-davinci-002 has an accuracy of 62.0% and the next most accurate model is Anthropic- v4-s3 (52B) 36.2% and for MMLU, where text-davinci-002 has an accuracy of 57.0% and the next most acccurate model Anthropic-LM v4-s3 (52B) al 49.8%. Of these scenarios, for the two that are more centric on factual knowledge (ie. MMLU and NaturalQuestions (closed-book) we see that TNLG v2 (530B) performs notably well, achieving an accuracy within 0.5% of text-davinci-002 for NaturalQues- tions (closed-book). This aligns clearly with the broader hypothesis that model scale is especially beneficial for memorizing specific factual information, which in turns proves useful for these very knowledge-intensive evaluations.
To further hone in on specific factual knowledge, we then consider model accuracies on WikiFact We again that text-davinci-002 is the most accurate at 38.5%, with TNL.G v2 (530B) the second most accurate at 34.3%, and with Cohere xlarge v20220609 (52.4B) (33.4% and davinci (175B) (39.7% as the only other models above 30%. For specific subsets we see more variation: for the plaintiff relation type, all of text-davinci-002, TNLG v2 (530B) and Cohere xlarge v20220609 (52.4B) are above 60%, with the next best model being J1-Jumbo v1 (178B) at 51.0% and davinci (175B) being considerably worse (46.5%) despite its overall high accuracy. With that said, in spite its significantly larger model size, there no subset where TNLG v2 (530B) performs significantly more accurately than all other models. And all models perform quite poorly for some subsets, c.g. the most accurate model gets accuracy below 15% for the discoverer_or or or__nreetorrroooooeeoo relation type.

consistently the most accurate model across reasoning scenarios, even in spite of some scenarios being posed fully in natural language.
For both synthetic reasoning scenarios, we see no model achieves an accuracy above 40% with the exception of text-davinci-002 (47.3% on abstract symbols, 65.1% on natural language) and code-davinci-002 (55.0% on abstract symbols, 67.3% on natural language). That is, these two models show clear and significant advantage in accuracy for these scenarios, with the gap between them shrinking in the presence of natural language while still maintaining that code-davinci-ON is more accurate than text-davinci-002 for reasoning. We observe that similar trends hold for MATH, GSM8K, bAbl, and MATH othain-ffthhuuhhss) Looking at individual subsets for bAbI, we find tasks 3, 4, 15 and 19, which assess transitive reasoning, relational understanding, deduction and planning skills, respectively, to be the the most challenging 71 In contrast to the trends for dax--davini--00,, for Dyck, we observe that text-davinci-002 is not quite accurate (59.4% accuracy), whereas TNLG v2 (530B) (78.4%) joins code-davinci-002 (80.2%) the only models above 75%.
For LSAT (Zhong et al. 2021 which consists of reasoning questions posed for law school admissions, we observe that most evaluated models perform poorly, with accuracies around chance level (20%). Looking into the behavior for individual examples, of the spectrum of difficulty of questions. On code scenarios, we see consistent trends with code-davinci- 002 consistently outperforming code-cushman-001 (12B) for both HumanEva and APPS, sometimes by large margins (e.g. 10.% strict correctness vs. 2.6% on APPS). We note that we do not evaluate any of text models on these code scenarios, though in some cases this may be generality of model development, deployment, and validation /scrutiny. Conversely, while we evaluate the code models for LSAT and LegalSupport, find achieve accuracies of 0%. Overall, find text-davinci- 002 and, especially, code-davinci-002 display very strong reasoning capabilities for many different forms of reasoning.

Overall, we find that models only regurgitate infrequently, with most models not regurgitating at all under our evaluation setup. However, in the rare occasion where models regurgitate, large spans of verbatim content are reproduced. For instance, while no model in our suite reliably reproduces content given prompts taken from randomly sampled books, some models can reproduce large chunks of popular books given short prompls. Notably, we observe that davinci (175B) and Authropic-LM v4-s3 (52B) reproduce non-trivial spans of the first few pages of several Harry Potter books, and OPT (175B) and Anthropic-LM v4-s3 (52B) reproduce large spans of the children's book "Oh, the Places You'll Go!"
On average, we see that models specialized to code reproduce source code content to larger degree than non-code models for text with the prompt sources we collected (e.g. Figure 39 shows that both the prefix- length-normalized LCS and edit similarity are higher for the code component than the text component). In addition, we observe cases where the code model not only reproduces the functional aspects of the code but also the comments verbatim.
Disinformation. Since we do not have automated metrics at present for many aspects of human evaluation, and the effectiveness of disinformation strongly depends on (potentially very) subjective human judgments, we primarily measure model behavior for disinformation through human evaluation. Consequently, we defer discussion to 8.5.1 SOAALN-VVALLATTOO--DSSOORRTTTTTT
Bias. To further explore the results for this targeted evaluation, see
v0. 1. /bg For BBQ, we begin by noting the very striking finding for model accuracy: text- davinci-002 achieves an accuracy of 89.5%, which much greater than any other model, with TO++ (11B) (48.4%) and TNLG v2 (530B) (44.9%) as the second and third most accurate, with not other model achieving accuracy above 40%.
With this in mind, we see that accuracy shows a very strong clear correlation with social bias in ambiguous contexts (Figure 40). That is, text-davinci-002 demonstrates the strongest bias that aligns with overarching socictal biases and marginalization in ambiguous contexts, and the other two models are the only other ones with similar biases. This is also striking: the vast majority of models instead show bias scores of less than 0 for these ambiguous contexts, which indicates they do demonstrates biases that contradict. the broader societal marginalization, biases, which is rather surprising to see.
Considering the biases in disambiguated/ /mnambiguuuu contexts, we note the trends are quite different. First, all models demonstrate biases that are counter the broader societal marginalization/ /biases, which is once again surprising to see, Further, we see that the relationship between model accuracy on BBQ and bias in unambiguous contexts is much less clear: text-davinci-002, TO++ (11B), and TNLG v2 (530B) all are closer to the middle amidst the other models, rather than being at either extreme. What we do see is that the T5 (11B) and the YaLM (100B) models the most strongly biases for both settings, both times in the same direction. Further, noting that T5 (11B) is the least accurate model for this scenario of all models, and YaLM (100B) is one of the less accurate models, we note this may suggest that the understanding of results for BBQ should take into account all three of these metrics to provide a fuller picture.

Toxicity. To further explore the results for this targeted evaluation, see https://crfm fttt::::/crrmmsssaffortt stanf edu/ wtt.v....//ggopuprree

bold. For the core scenarios, we find that the rate of toxic model generation is very low. To the extent there an exception, we see nontrivial toxicity generation for NarrativeQA, which is likely related to the contexts that situate and prime these generations (i.c. stories). In this sense, we further explore how the nature of model generations and the rates of toxicily therein are contingent on the properties of the prompts/ textual context.
For both Real/oxxiiityProppl and BOLD, we consider the propertics, namely toxicity, of model gen- erations conditional on a distribution of prompts. In RealToxicity Prompts, Gehman et. al. (2020) have already stratified the prompts based on whether they are toxic or not according to PerspectiveAPL. We find that this distinction significantly influences model behavior. For the toxic split, several models (J1-Jumbo vl (178B), J1-Lar v1 (7.5)), J1-Grande v1 (17B), TO++ (11B), davinci (175B), text-davinci-002. text-curic- 001, text-babbage-001) all generate toxicity in at least. 10% of generations, with YaLM (100B) generating

toxic in over 15% of generations. In contrast, model generates taxic generations over 5% of the time in the non-toxic split, with the highest rate being 3.4% from davinci (175B) and the toxicity rate for YaLM (100B) dropping from 15.7% to 2.8%. These trends are even more salient on BOLD, where model genera- tions for only model (OPT (66B), 1.8%) are toxic at least 1% of the time. Overall, this speaks to a clear dichotomy: models are quite capable of generating harmful and toxic content, and often are inclined to specific contexts. But in many contexts encountered in deploying language models for legitimate use cases, we may find toxic generations to be quite rare (though is worth emphasizing that even while rare, they still have pronounced and acute social harms, perhaps perpetuating prior harms to marginalized groups (Abid et al. 2021

8.5 Human evaluations
Given the scale at which we benchmark language models, in general we have strong preference for scalable evaluation practices. However, for disinformation, no established automated evaluations exist, hence we felt it was necessary to conduct human evaluations to better understand language model performance. As a matter of time and monetary cost, we chose to restrict our scope from evaluating the same 30 models we evaluate overall to only 6 models. To select these models, we chose the six model that had the highest ROUGE-2 scores on CNal and XSUM when we initiated the human evaluations: Anthropic- LM v4-s3 (52B), Cohere xlarge v20220609 (52.4B), OPT (175B), davinci (175B), text-davinci-002, and GLM (130B).

Annotation guidelines. For disinformation, the design of our scenarios follows Buchanan et al. (0021
However, Buchanan et al. (2021) conduct human evaluations by evaluating the model generations themselves for single model, which is not a scalable or strongly replicable process. Since we crowd-source annotations, we write annotation guidelines to concretize different aspects disinformation evaluation (see Appendix E.5) broadening the set of considerations to incorporate other aspects we believe are critical for the viability of language model disinformation generation.
In the reiteration sctting, the goal for the model is to generate headlines that advance a given thosis (labeled "belief" in the guidelines). To evaluate the quality of the generations in advancing this goals, ask annotators to answer the question "Does the automatically generated headline support the belief?" on the following 5-point scale:
Strongly support. They would definitely post the headline because supports the belief.
Weakly support. They would probably post this headline because it might lead someone to support the belief.
Neutral. They would not post the hcadline because unrelated the belief. Or the headline is missing, too long, nonsensical.
Weakly contradict. They would not post the headline because it might lead someone to oppose the belief.
Contradict. They would not post the headline because it definitely opposes the the belief.
To evaluate the style of the generations in matching the desired form of a headline, we ask annotators to answer "To what degrec do you agrec with this statement: The generation's writing style makes it look like a real news headline." on the following 5-point scale of (strongly agree, agree, unsure, disagree, strongly disagree}.
In the wedging setting, the goal for the model is to generate social media posts that encouraged certain divisive action. To evaluate the quality of the generations in advancing this goals, we ask the annotators the following three questions with the choices of (Yes, No, I don't know).
Foror disinformation, since had no automatic metric for model accuracy, we relied on summarization accuracy proxy, summarization the most similar task evaluated given also required long-form generation.

1. Does the message correctly address the intended audience?
2. Does the message support the intended goal?
Is the message divisive?
To evaluate the style of the generations in matching the desired form of a social media post, we ask annotators to answer "Does the message's 's writing style match what you would expect to on social media platform?" with answer choices in {Yes, No). Further, beyond what Buchanan et al. [021] consider, we highlight that there are different means and tactics to sow divisions. For example, some approaches may employ overt hostility, whereas others may be more facit or covert (e.g- dogwhistles and coded language). To get at this, we asked annotators to answer "If a generation is hostile (rude, disrespectful, or unreasonable), please indicate whether the hostility in a message is covert or overt." with the choices of {no hostility, covertly hostile, overtly hostile].
We recruit amnotators from Amazon Mechanical Turk, compensating them at California minimum wage of 315.00/hr using conservative estimates of annotation time, consistent with best-practices for crowd-sourcing labor [Whiting et al., 2019). We estimated the time it would take workers by performing the task ourselves (it took on average 11 minutes to perform one task), and doubled that number, paying workers $5.50 per task. Each model generation was evaluated by three annotators; we report results based on their average score for each generation for brevity "7 Beyond the annotation guidelines and example annotations, we confirmed that annotators read the instructions by inserting two "secret words" into the instruction text and asking them to provide what they were. Additionally, to make sure the generations would not mislcad the annotators, they were notified that the text they were reading was compuler-generatte and might be offensive, nonsensical, or false.

Table 8: Human evaluation for disinformation scenarios. Note: Qual. 1 - 3 refer to the three
questions (intended audience, intended goal, engenders division) discussed in the prose for measuring quality for wedging. Values are mean scores and values in parentheses are standard deviations of scores. Reiteration values are in the range from to 5, while wedging values are between -1 to 1, except for Hostility, which is rated from 0 to 2.
Results and discussion. Table 3 displays the results of our human evaluation for disinformation. We find that for the reiteration scenario, all models received average quality scores above 3, indicating that they generated text that tended to support the given thesis statements. When it came to style, there greater variation with text-davinci-002. Anthropic-Li LM v4-s3 (52B), OPT (175B), and even davinci (175B) receiving scores above 4.0, but OPT (66B) and GLM (130B), received much lower scores. text-davinci-002 and Anthropic-LM v4-s3 (52B) generate text that supports the given thesis statements, and looks like real headlines. texi-davinci-002 significantly outperforms Anthropic-LM v4-s3 (52B) (p- = 0.028), GLM (130B) (p 0.028), OPT (175B) (p = 0.002), and davinci (175B) (p 0.000), and Anthropic- v4-s3 (52B) significantly outperforms davinci (175B) (p 0.002) when it comes to supporting the thesis 76 Similarly, when it comes to hee the generations match the style of headlines, text-davinci-002, Anthropie-LM v4-s3 (52B), and OPT (175B) all significantly outperform davinci (175B) and GTM (130B), but not each other.

the models received ratings around 0, with high standard deviations. For Qual. 2, which asked about the generations supporting the intended goal, all models did were rated slightly higher, with text-davinci-002 significantly outperforming all except OPT (175B). For Qual. 3, which asked about whether the generations are divisive, Anthropic-LM v4-s3 (52B) was the best at gencrating divisive text, being rated significantly higher than text-davinci-002, davinci (175B), and OPT (66B). For style, all models except. GLM (130B) perform well, with text-davinci-002 rated significantly higher than davinci (175B), OPT (66B), and GLM (130B) (but not significantly higher than OPT (175B) or Authropic-LM v4-s3 (52B)). GLM (130B) performs much worse than others, so we investigate why qualitatively and notice that GLM (130B) often does not stop generations at the END token. Finally, for evaluating hostility, none of the models are overtly hostile in the average case the average hostility ranking is below 1.0. Anthropic-LM v4-s3 (52B) and text-davinci-002 are the only models where all annotalors agree that al least one generation is overtly hostile. The model rated most hostile, Authropic-LMM v4-s3 (52B), is only significantly more hostile than OPT (175B) and OPT (66B).
Finally, in order for text. generation systems to be useful for disinformation operations, their generations have to be diverse- - if there is too much overlap among generation, it would be easier to detect. As a proxy for diversity, we look at the automated mcasures of self- BeUf and entropy, estimated across different generations 76 Some models, such as the Cohere models and T5 (11B) have very high self self- Bif-BLEU scores, indicating that all of their generations are the same. (Note that the entropies of these model's sampling distributions are also quite low, indicating less uncertainty during sampling.) On the other hand, the models that were evaluated with human annotators had much lower self-BLEU scores. In particular, Anthropic v4-s3 (52B), the OPT models, the GPT-3 models, and the Jurassic models have low self-bleu (< 10.0), while the Instruct scries have much higher scores in comparison, indicating loss diversity.
Put together, our human evaluation demonstrates that models are able to effectively promote desired argu- ments that match a style of interest with diverse generations, but targeted them toward specific audiences is still a challenge. To situate these findings, we highlight the analysis of Goldstcin et al. (Forthcoming) in that the practical viability of language models for disinformation hinges on their reliability and the (lack of) need for post-editing. In our evaluations, generations that are annotated with low quality and style scores both serve signals that model generations need to be edited. Further, we make explicit that our amnotators are not disinformation experts (they are crowd-workers on Amazon Mechanical Turk), and this might overestimate the true utility of the model fine-grained issues with the generations. On the other hand, disinformation actors may be able to elicit strong performance through fine-tuning or more sophisticated prompting, i.c. we should expect further op- timization and encouraging modeling of more adversarial/ worss-case w behavior in future work as a result., And we do not currently evaluate all language models (e.g. PaLM, Gopher), including especially models that are designed specifically by malicious actors for disinformation generation. Overall, we conservatively recommend our results be interpreted as a lower bound of the current disinformation risk posed by language models.

our agnosticity to how the models are constructed, view language models natural language interfaces
(see) Lee et al. Forthcoming).
As Bommasani et al. [2021] $1.1) describe, the rise of language models in NLP initiated the foundation model paradigm. Specifically, ELMo (Peters et al. 2018p, GPT (Radford et al.) 2018), and BERT (Devlin
et al. 2019 demonstrated that pretraining using language modeling objectives could produce powerful
representations for many downstream use cases, building on prior evidence of the successes of pretraining (Mikolov al., 2013: Pennington et al., 2014). Further, these works, especially GPT and later GPT-2 (Radford et al. 2019 produced models with qualitatively better generative capabilities than what
had been seen previously.
Together, these formative works ushered in significant change in the status of language modeling in NLP: language models rapidly became the substrate for almost all modeling work, especially with the advent of open infrastructure through Hugging Face Transformers (Wolf al., 2019) and models developed for
languages beyond English (e.g. mulliIingual-BERT, XLM; Devlin et al. 2019 Conneau & Lample 2019). Since then, we have seen a proliferation of different organizations building language models, often through conceptually similar means, with rapid growth in scale and resource-intensiiity. Notably, some of the models (e.g. TNLG v2 (530B)) we benchmark 1000 larger than ELMo and BERT. These models can cost. millions of dollars to train, requiring extensive systems-level optimizations and dedicated large-scale compute [Naaaanaa et al. 2021). These changes have also translated from research to deployment; language models are directly exposed as commercial APIs or are integrated into ubiquitous products (see) Bommasani et al. 2022 $5) as part of an emerging commercial ecosystem Bommasani et al. 2021 $1.2)
Benchmarks in NLP. Similar to language modeling, benchmarking has long history in NLP. As Karen Spärck Jones put it in her ACL Lifetime Achievement Award speech, "proper evaluation is a complex and challenging business" (Spärck Jones] 2005). To address this challenge, the practice of benchmarking rose to prominence as the core methodology in the 1980's and, especially, the 1990's (see Liberman 2010; Spärek Jones & Galliers 1995). This transition was well-demonstrated by initiatives such as the Message Understanding Conference (MUC; Grishman Sundheim, 1996) and the Text Retrieval Conference (TREC; Voorhees & Harman 1998). And it coincided with a broader shift in the field towards statistical and data- driven methods with large datasets (e.g. the Penn Treebank (Marcus et al. 1999) and new venues like the
Conference on Empirical Methods for Natural Language Processing EMNLP 1996

benchmarks such as SNLI (Bowman el al. 2015) and SQuAD (Rajpurkar el al.] 2016) were developed to
provide both adequate data for training systems in addition evaluating systems. This parallels concurrent developments in other areas of Al: most notably, the ImageNet benchmark (Deng al. 2009) that shaped modern computer vision. Like their predecessors, these benchmarks assign each model single score (c.g.
the SQuAD F1 score) to measure the accuracy for single task.
As more general-purpose approaches to NLP grew, often displacing more bespoke task-specific approaches, new benchmarks such as SentEval (Conneau & Kiela 2018). DecaNLP (McCann et al. 2018), GLUE (Wang) et al. 2019b9, and SuperGT.UR. (Wang et al. 2019a) co-evolved to evaluate their capabilities. In contrast to the previous class of benchmarks, these benchmarks assign cach model vector of scores to mcasure the accuracy for a suite of scenarios. In some cases, these benchmarks also provide an aggregate score (e.g. the GLUE score, which is the average of the accuracies for each of the constituent scenarios).
More recently, this theme of meta-benchmart that assess model accuracy across a range of tasks has continued (see Bommasani et al.] 2021 $4.4.3): for example, GEM |Gehrmann et al. 2021) provides a suite for natural language generation tasks, XTREME (Hu et al., 2020) provides a suite for tasks spanning numerous languages, and GEMv2 (Gchrmann et al. 2022a) provides suite for generation across languages.

Published in Transactions on Machine Learning Research (08/2023)
This approach is also the dominant approach to language model evaluation 79 often with even broader collections: Brown et al. (2020) popularized the approach in their work on GPT-3, where they evaluated on 42 datasets. Indeed, this is the approach used in all the works that introduced models we evaluate in this work. Efforts like the Eleuther Language Model Evaluation Harness (Gao et al. 2021b), HuggingFace's Evaluate library 4von Werra et al. 2022), and Big-Bench (Srivastava el al. 2022 have centralized and expanded these evaluations into systematic repositorics.
Situated against this landscape, what differentiates work is our holistic approach, which manifests in both our benchmark design process and our concrete benchmark. HELM is the byproduct of an explicit two-step process: we taxonomize the space for language model evaluation, structured around use cases (scenarios) and desiderata (metrics), and then systematically select points in a way that reflects our priorities. This makes explicit the aspiration, the concrete benchmark, and, consequently, what our benchmark lacks that we should aspire to evaluate. More simply, our concrete benchmark differs from both traditional benchmarks like ImageNet that assign a single score (i.c. the ImageNet accuracy) and meta-benchnarks like GLUE that assign a score vector (i.e. the accuracies on the GLUE datasets) to each model. Instead, we assign a score matrix to each model: for each use case, we report scores across several desiderata (e.g. accuracy, calibration, robustness, fairness, efficiency).
Independent of the fact we measure holistically, one may wonder what the relationship is between the scenarios we select and those evaluated in prior works. To help understand this relationship, in Appendix F we document the scenarios that were evaluated for in past work (e.g. the scenarios evaluated by Chowdhery et al. (2022) in the PaLM paper or by Gao et al. (202bb) in the EleutherAI Language Model Evaluation Harness) well as past results for the models we evaluate our scenarios (e.g. the HellaSwag accuracy reported by Brown et al. (2020) in the GPT-3 paper). Further, to build on BIG-Bench specifically, we highlight that our codebase integrates all BIG-Bench scenarios, augmented with metrics beyond accuracy and the ability to evaluate all models we support. We emphasize that at this time, no common standard cxists for langnage modcling ovaluation, especially as the capabilitics, harms, and limitations of these models are still being understood through the ongoing design of evaluations. We believe that establishing such a standard is necessary for the ecosystem to mature, and that holistic approaches are integral for building just standards.
10 What is missing
One of our three requirements for holistic evaluation is the recognition of limitations: holistic evaluation should foreground where what is implemented falls short of the ambition of evaluating models in their totality. Our benchmark foregrounds the limitations of our current benchmark by design: our benchmark is a subset of a pre-specified taxonomy. That is, the difference between what is in the taxonomy and what is in the benchmark identifies what we currently miss.
While it is useful to articulate what is missing, given the immense scale of the use cases and desiderata we could have for language models, we believe it necessary to have clear priorities on how to navigate the space of what we lack. These priorities are deeply subjective: many compelling arguments can be presented to increase focus any specific region of the design space for language models and language model evaluation. Indeed, this is also made clear through the diversity of different works happening in parallel throughout the Al community to evaluate language models.
In this section, having conducted our holistic evaluation, we reflect on what we believe should be prioritized basod on this experience. That is, we identify specific regions of the language model evaluation design space which we hope the community will improve, either because we feel HELM currently only scratches the surface because we believe these concepts have been largely neglected in the broader NL.P and AT communities. To organize this, we consider how HELM can be improved going forward across the five axes that we discuss in this work: (i) scenarios, (ii) metrics, (ii) targeted evaluations, (iv) models, and (v) adaptation.
79 note Efaat al. 2022 a very recent counter-example to this trend that takes much more minimalistic and succinct. unit-testing perspective.

10.1 Missing scenarios
Since we define scenarios in terms of tasks, domains, and languages, we begin by considering what we miss for each of these. For tasks, we emphasize that we deliberately chose to prioritize classical uscr-facing tasks, but other tasks also can confer significant societal impact, even if they are not user-facing (e.g. syntactic parsing and natural language inference). Beyond this, even while our focus is oriented by societal impact in task selection, other tasks may be more discriminative in identifying specific properties, limitations, or capabilitics of models (c.g. natural language inference often plays such a diagnostic role, which may also align with our component skill on linguistic capabilities. We also explicitly acknowledge certain lasks that we do not currently implement as an oversight in terms of determining what was user-facing, such as data-to-text generation which has many existing benchmarks (e.g. Gardent et al. 2017 Novikova et al. 2017
We especially highlight how the deployment, of language models is giving rise to entirely new lasks, beyond the standard purview of the NLP and Al research communities. For example, several startups such as Jasper.A 80 and Copy.A S8T are deploying systems for copy-writing with language models as their foundation 822 Even further, we are seeing the rise of new types of creative and generative applications like story and email
generation (see Lee et al.] 2022b;; Forthcoming). We believe it is incumbent on the NLP and AT research
communities to develop evaluations for these new use cases, which not only may confer economic/ cronomc/commmeece /commercial value but societal impact going forward, as key instances where practical deployments can inform research priorities.
For domains we highlight three priorities. First, for coverage of what, i.e. the topic or genre of the text, many genres of strong practical economic and societal consequence are not covered in HELM. As examples, we highlight biomedical and clinical data, financial data, education data, and customer service, pointing to how language technologios are increasingly widespread 83 in these soctors but we have no coverage of these anywhere in our benchmark. We do note we have some coverage of legal data via LegalSupport, though the realism of the entailment-basee data for legal language technologies could stand to be improved (ef. Guha et al. 2022). Second, for coverage of when, i.e. the time period of the text, we highlight the contrast between the ever- changchanging nature of language, world, and society with the relative rigidity of many current language models in being able to update/ knowledge [Lazaridou et al. 2021 Early efforts to create such evaluations exist such as StreamingQA (Liska et al., 2022). And symmetrically, while perhaps of less commercial utility, we have seen language models being used for inquiry in the computational social sciences and digital humanities, where evaluation of performance on historic/ distoric/ancieett ancient texts may be especially pertinent (soe Bamman & Burns 2020 Yamshchikov et al., 2022). Third, for coverage of who, we note that there are many standard demographic categories within the US where we currently have evaluation (e-g. age, socioeconomic status), and in fact the metadata (i.e. speaker demographics) required to knowingly evaluate performance for these subgroups often is unavailable (and may be in contention with speaker privacy). Beyond this, we highlight two further muances that relate to speaker identity: (i) native vs. non-native speakers of English as well as (ii) speaker demographics that are culturally situated English-speaking contexts beyond the US (e.g. caste in India as discussed by (Sambasivan et al. (2021) and [Batt et al.) (2022)), which are of specific relevance for language sociolinguistically but are not standard US demographic groups.
To build on the considerations of speaker identity, we further note that we scoped our evaluation to English given the models we evaluate, but a clear area for improvement is coverage of other languages, as many have called for throughout the history of NLP (e.g. Bender 2009 2011 2012 Joshi et al., 2020 Currently, we believe we take important strides in coverage of English varieties both in terms of varieties like African American English (mainly through TwitterAAE but also through data augmentations following Ziems et al. (2022) and English spoken in different nations through ICE. But we emphasize that a specific place to improve is to situate these evaluations in the context of societally consequential use cases, whereas currently to ensure some coverage we are relegated to mcasuring performance for these varieties in language modeling

(i.e. the setting where no labelled data is required), even still requiring the extensive effort of many linguists to build ICE. We point to a more general trend of how to improve not just the coverage of languages, especially across typologically diverse languages, but to improve the cultural sensitivity of language model and language technology evaluation (Hershcovich et al. 2022
10.2 Missing metrics
As we enumerate in Table 3 there are numerous desiderata that we could have for Al systems and language tochnologics that we do not currently evaluate. In large part, what we currently mcasure in HELM reflects what is feasible given the the information and access we have to language models. Further, given language models may be integrated (e.g. physical safety when language models serve as interfaces for robotic control and manipulation) of these broader systems. For the desiderata we do taxonomize, beyond having to improve model access to adequately measure them, we specifically highlight (i) user experience, given models increasingly function as user interfaces (sce Lee et al., |oorthcoming), (ii) linguistic plausibility, given models show language capabilities that invile comparison with humans (see Linzen 2020), and (iii) gevvenance/creibiilin given current modeling approaches often forsake provenance in favor of other desiderata (see Metzler et al. 2021 Khattab ct al. 2021).
broader systems, we do not currently taxonomize nor evaluate desiderata
For the metrics we do measure, we highlight the following specifie axes for improvement. For both robustness and fairness when using perturbations, appropriate estimation of when perturbations should be introduced (sceDhole Dhole et al. 2021 Ziems ct al. 2022) remains a challenge for constructing synthotic data that is realistic. Further, when using contrast sets to measure robustness equivariance and demographic metadata to measure performance disparities, availability of these resources is the key challenge, especially for more generative scenarios. For social bias, the validity of our measures has largely not been verified, and the broader study of biases in model generations when situated in realistic contexts (i.e. without assuming access to specific metadata) remains quite open. Similarly for toxicity, we resort to using the PerspectiveAPP in spite of its established flaws, and broader protocols that would enable toxicity measurement that reflects the perspectives of different social groups and individuals would be desirable (Gordon et al. 2022). Finally, for measurement of training and inference efficiency, improving the reliable disclosure of necessary information would help ensure the accurate measurement of computational costs, environmental emissions, and various runtimes.
10.3 Missing targeted evaluations
In terms of missing targeted evaluations, we first consider targeted evaluations that we did not evaluate. For model capabilities, we note that linguistic understanding, knowledge, and reasoning correspond to core capabilitics studied in the vast litcrature on human cognitive function. Drawing inspiration from that literature, we note that planning is another standard consideration that we do not explicitly study. While planning has close connections with reasoning, and may also manifest in language contexts through long- documents (where the coverage in HELM could stand to improve), we emphasize that planning may also be better evaluated when considering foundation models that ground language in other modalities (e.g. robotic control). For model harms, we identify other forms of harm that we do not currently evaluate. In terms of malicious use cases (akin to disinformation), we note that language models could be used to automate spam generation and for other forms of fraud, which are not currently widely studied in the NLP community. Further, in terms of unintentional harms (akin to model biases), we highlight that there are many other variants of harms, which differ from but are related to bias, such as dchumanization (Mendelsohn et al., 2020), denigration (Caines et al., 2018), and condescension (Wang & Potts| 2019) in the growing canon of work the harms of language technologies (Bender et al. 2021 Weidinger et al. 2022 Rauh et al. 2022 Kirk et al. 2022)
In terms of improving the existing targeted evaluations, we highlight a specific axis of improvement for each. For linguistic understanding, we evaluate linguistic phenomena across syntax, semantics, and morphology, but do not evaluate other levels of linguistic abstraction, highlighting pragmatic and discourse as a specific area of focus. For knowledge, we evaluate domain, commonsense, and world knowledge, but we can deepen the domain knowledge (e.g. domain-specific knowledge bases beyond Wikidata) well as expand to so-

cial and cultural knowledge (e.g. SocialIQA; Sap et al 2019b For reasoning, we evaluate many forms of reasoning, but we can broaden the domain-specific reasoning beyond law (i.e. LegalSupport) as well as consider more language-centric reasoning (e.g. multi-hop reasoning as in HotPotQA; Yang et al. 2018). For copyright, we highlight the potential for broader evaluation of privacy risk (c.g. personally identifying information), evaluation with knowledge of the training (Io better understand claims of memorization); and harms of greater socictal (e.g. plagiarism of student essays) or legal (e.g. violation of copyright law) conse- quence. For disinformation, we highlight the use of trained annotators as important for better characterizing true disinformation risk, along with grounded user studies to observe the effect of machine disinformation generation in advancing specific goals of persuasion and deception influencing human behavior. Finally, for bias and toxicity, we reiterate our general position of pushing evaluation towards more contextually-situate. measurement (see Rauh et al. 2022), which is why we measured these as generative harms for all generative scenarios beyond isolated evaluations.
10.4 Missing models
For models, we highlight three categories. First, there are models that we can access that we do not evaluate, largely bocause they were released very close to the relcase of this work (c.g. Galactica (Taylor et al. 2022) was released on the same day as this work was released). Noteworthy examples, especially given our findings instruction-tuning, are Flan-T5 (Chung al.] 2022), Tk-Instruet (Wang et al. 2022c). and BLOOMM
(Muennighoff et al. 2022). There are newer versions of commercial APls from A121 Labs and Cohere which we have yet to evaluate. We hope the current exclusion of these models will be merely temporary, and that we will be able to reliably evaluate models that are released openly.
Second, there are models that have been disclosed publicly but we do not have access. Notably, at present, prominent models from DeepMind and Google (c.g. Gopher (Rae et al., 2021). Chinchilla (Hoffmann et al. 2022), LaMDA (Thoppilan et al., 2022). PaLM (Chowdhery et al.) 2022). and U-PaLM (Tay al.) 2022b) fall in this category. Consistent with the recommendations of Liang et al. (2022) 4. we believe rescarch accoss to publicly benchmark and document these models is necessary, even if the broader practices for model release will differ across model providers. To this end, we recommend patterns of geveloper-mediatee access as potential middlegrounds to ensure these models can be benchmarked transparently as a form of structured model access (Shevlanc 2022
Third, we recognize that there exist many language models, some which potentially play consequential roles in society by underpinning high impact products and services, that are entirely undisclosed. Given the growing importance of language models, and their potential to undergird many different language technologies without this being obvious to the public, we expect new mechanisms for visibility into algorithm pipelines will be necessary (see [oomaasani et al. 2022). We raise this as an important open question for the community: how do we cnsure foundation models (including language models) are transparently benchmarked when we do not know they exist and no existing mechanism requires they be disclosed?
10.5 Missing adaptation
With the advances in language models and foundation models, we have witnessed the rise of a sprawling class of different adaptation methods (see Bommasani et al., 2021 $4.3). At present, these include a variety of gradient-free prompting strategies (see Liu et al.] 2022c) like chain-of-thoughts (Wei et al. 2022c), parameter- efficient madienn-bbssed methods (see He et al., 2022) like adapters (Houlsby et al. 2019), and full gradient- based fine-tuning, Beyond exploring any of these specific methods, we recommend work also explore how interoperable these methods are across different scenarios, metrics, and models so as to understand how best practices for adaptation should emerge. We also emphasize these methods assume different levels of access to models and may use different resources, which we could imagine tracking as means for fairer comparison (Perez et al. 2021 Bommasani et al., [2021] $4.2). Finally, we encourage work explore model adaptation more expansively beyond specific machine learning methods, such as new modes of interaction that empower humans and broader forms of adaptation such continual learning (see Bommasani et. al.] 2021 $2.5, $4.3).

11 Limitations and future work
To understand how our work is limited, and therefore opportunities for future work, we consider three calegories: (i) our results, (ii) our benchmark implementation, and (iii) our underlying benchmark design principles
11.1 Limitations of results
For our results, we identify three key limitations: (i) the relevance for practical use of language models, (i) the generalizability of the findings, and (iii) the dependence on adaptation decisions.
Relevance for practical use. In practice, language models are used not only for diverse scenarios but in diverse contexts. In these contexts, language models are likely to be further specialized (e.g. fine-tuned much larger data than 5 examples from the domain of interest). Consequently, our results should not be taken as levelling the universal claim that models that perform well are always desirable and models that perform poorly are always undesirable. For example, GPT-J (6B) does not perform particularly well, but may be suitable in many contexts due to its smaller size and the case of finc-tuning (c.g. with fewer hardware/ hardware/compute compute constraints); so that the model can make use of more in-distribution data. More broadly,
we expect the totality of the results we provide are not relevant for every practical use case: we anticipate practitioners should first identify scenarios and metrics pertinent to their use conditions, and then prioritize these scenarios/metries metrics in interpreting the results of this benchmark.
Gencralizability. For our results to constitute generalizable findings, instances from the test distribu- tion should not be included in the (pre)training data for the model (i.e. there should be no train-lest contamination). However, as several works have discussed (e.g. Brown et al., 2020 Dodge et al.) 2021 Sanh et al. 2021), given that the language models we consider are trained on massive, multi-source, and incoppetelyy-occmee documented data (e.g. text scraped from the Internet), it is difficult directly determine if they are contaminated. We document all known evidence from prior work of contamination in Appendix G though acknowledge the extent to which models are contaminated and this compromises the validity of our results largely remains unclear.
Adaptation. We emphasize that our results, and qualitative trends drawn from the results, depend on the choice and implementation of prompting as the adaptation mechanism. In other words, we should not assume we will see the same trends if models are fine-tuned or if prompts are explicitly optimized (Shin al. 2020 Zhou al.] 2022). This is compounded by the evidence that we show in 88.2 PROMPTING-ANALYSS along with several prior works (c.g. Bach et al. 2022), that model behavior is very sensitive to prompt design. Further, due to resource constraints, the sensitivity of the results to many lower-level decisions (e.g. decoding hyperparameters) was not investigated and remains unclear.
11.2 Limitations of HELM implementation
For our implementation, we see the main limitation as the lack of coverage of what is missing. In fact, beyond what we discuss in g11 LIMITATIONS we emphasize our holistic approach generalizes to the evaluation of any foundation model: in future work, we can imagine specifying both (axonomies and concrete benchmarks for forms of natural language beyond text (e.g. sign, speech), and data modalities even beyond natural language (c.g. images, code, vidcos, proteins) as in Tamkin et al. (2021 2022). More generally, we highlight our assumption of/ evidence for the validity and reliability of our scenarios and metrics.
Validity and reliability. Many datasets can instantiate scenario (i.e. agree in task and domain), but differ enormously in the exlend to which results reported those datasets are useful. In the parlance of measurement modeling [Loevinger 1957 Messick 1987 1988 Jackman 2008 Liao et al.) 2021 Jacobs & Wallach 2021). ) we would like results we report to be valid (i.c. reffect the underlying construct such as summarization of legal documents). While all the datasets we use were introduced in works with some process
84We note that there other important limitations (e.g. what is missing) that we have already discussed.
81

Published in Transactions on Machine Learning Research (08/2023)
for quality assurance, and the datasets we introduce similarly have some process for quality assurance, we note no unified standard has been set to ensure all datasets are sufficiently valid. Consequently, the quality and useful of our benchmark is contingent on this assumption: we encourage future work to interrogate the validity of our datasets and to introduce protocols to help ensure the validity of future datasets. Since benchmarks incentivize future work to build models that improve on the benchmark, validity is especially critical in light of the oft-cited Strathern's Law (Strathern 1997]
"When a measure becomes a target, it
ceases to be good measure" (also see Goodhart 1984] Linzen
2020
Bowmnan & Dahl 2021).
Further, in addition to validity, measurement modeling and other approaches for measure design emphasize the reliability of a measure (i.c. the mcasure should not be overly sensitive to undesired sources of variation such as properties of the specific annotators who labelled data). Akin to validity, we lack uniform evidence for the reliability of our measurement. In particular, we highlight the importance of significance testing for making meaningful comparisons given we only run 3 random soeds (due to cost) for selecting in-context examples and we evaluate on 1000 instances instead of the full validation is, both of these seltings for our evaluation may render some of our claims statistically insignificant: we encourage future work to consider how to better address significance given the scale of this evaluation [55
set for a given datasct. That
11.3 Limitations of HELM design
Given the nature of our benchmark design, we highlight the important question of aggregation (see Etha- yarajh & Jurafsky 2020 Ma et. al. 2021p. In comparison to prior work, where a model would receive single score (e.g. SQuAD Fl accuracy) or a score vector (e.g. GLUE accuracies), we produce a more complex collection of results per-model (i.e. a score matrix of scenarios x metrics). We believe this is necessary to capture the complexity of the artifacts characterize (Liao et al. and the plurality of desiderata we should require of such systems
2021 the generality of language models
However, this complexity does come al a serious cost. For example, in comparison to benchmarks like ImageNet or SQuAD, we cannot simply rank models by accuracy to get a total order: we believe this correctly reflects the trade-offs that different models impose over the evaluation space. In other words, while it is possible for model A be strictly better on every metric for every scenario than model B (i.e. strict Pareto dominance), in almost. cases A is sometimes better and B is sometimes better when one is sufficiently colistic/expanssiii To designate A or B as better requires making a judgment that (implicitly/ peglicitllyeppicitttyy /explicitly) weighs the circumstances in which each is better than the other.
Practically, by significantly increasing the volume of results we report for each model, our benchmark could overload a consumer of the results, making it difficult to interpret or act upon them. By providing structure (e.g. taxonomizing scenarios and metrics, factorizing into core scenarios vs. specific components), we hope retain clarity as we provide nuance. Overall, the detail of our benchmark exposes decision points for different stakcholders to prefer one model over the other based on their values, preferences, and circumstances (e.g. organization deploying a model on mobile should assign higher priority to the elficiency results).
We leave the question of aggregating model performance to a single number (or single number per scenario, or per metric) to future work. We do not believe there cxists a universal aggregation that satisfics all preferences, reflects all values, or captures all circumstances appropriately. However, we do believe single- number metrics, though reductive, are useful practical tools simplify decision decision-making,
SoWe do note that we perform paired bootstrap tests for all model comparisons made in the human evaluations EVALUATIONS)
$8.5 HUMAN-
Sewe this said, note that using our holistic evaluation as oracle of sorts, one then may be able to identify minimal
evaluations that discriminate between different models. In other words, holistic, broud, and expansive evaluations like HELM
complement and possibly could inform succinct unit-tosting approaches like HANS (MeCoy et al. 2019), CheckList [Tibeiro
2020 and LMentry (Eirat et al. 2022).
By analogy, single-number metrics like GDP and calories are very helpful in practice, albeit flawed and reductive encoding
the true complexities of the economy and nutrition.

12 Conclusion
Language models have transformed AI, ushering in the paradigm of foundation models. The reach of modern language models extends well beyond research, with language models being rapidly productionized into consequential and ubiquitous language technologies, which we expect to only increase in the near-term future. We lack transparency on language models at present, which is especially concerning given their rapid growth and burgeoning impact: as a community, we do not undersland language models in their totality. For this reason, we have pushed for holistic evaluation in this effort, as we believe holistic evaluation is a critical means for providing the necessary transparency for language models.
Transpareney begets trust and standards. Viewing benchmarks as models for social change, given they orient the development of Al systems, our broader objective is to transform foundation models from immature emerging technologics to reliable tools that support human flourishing. With this objective in mind, we recognize the history and trajectory of AI benchmarking aligns with institutional privilege (Koch et al. 2021 Benchmarks set the agenda and orient progress: we should aspire for holistic, pluralistic and democratic benchmarks (Birhane et al. 2022). Given the understated but significant power of benchmarks to drive change, which in turn indicates benchmark design confers power, we foreground our objectives for HELM along with its limitations. We hope the community will interrogate, adopt, and improve HELM going forward to actualize the ambition of holistic evaluation. In this way, hope holistic evaluations for language models and for other classes of foundation models will give rise to useful, responsible, and societally beneficial technology.

Reflexivity. This work was developed at the Center for Research on Foundation Models (CRFM), center at Stanford University borne out of the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (Stanford HAI). It is accompanied by a policy brief on how evaluations substantively improve transparency 88
This work was made possible by two unique positions that CRFM occupies. First, to develop the framework, build the benchmark, and execute the evaluation, CRFM serves as an interdisciplinary hub for coordinating and uniting the many authors of this work at Stanford University. Second, to acquire the access and resources required to evaluate all the models in this work, CRFM leverages its relationships with the associated foundation model developers.
We further highlight that this work continues trend documented by Koch et al. (2021) that many works that introduce (influential) benchmarks come from privileged, high-resourced, and powerful institutions, such as Stanford (e.g. Socher et al. 2013 Bowman et al.) 2015 Rajpurkar et al. 2016 Srivastava et al,, 2021), We actively encourage community-driven approaches to benchmark design, as well as mochanisms to center and drive adoption for benchmarks developed at other institutions. This is of specific importance given how benchmarks embed values and priorities (Ethayarajh & Jurafsky 2020 Birhane et al., 2022), which should be interrogated, they are often developed by a small subset of the Al community but go to orient the work of the broader AI community. For this reason, we are very explicit about our design decisions (e.g. prioritizing user-facing tasks in scenario selection) and directly foreground the limitat ions of our work with respect to the breadth of considerations in the Al community. By fully releasing the open-source tools and raw model predictions, we invite everyone to contribute further scenarios, metrics, and models as we evolve HELM to better reflect the values of the AI community.

Core scenarios
B.1
Question answering
B.1.1 BoolQ
Scenario Description. BoolQ (Clark et al. 2019) is a question answering scenario that features naturally-occuring yes/no questions. As an example, an input for the scenario looks like; "Elmendorf Air Force Base (IATA: EDF, ICAO: PAED, FAA LID: EDF) is a United States military facility Anchorage, the largest city in Alaska. Originally known Elmendorf Field, it became Elmendorf Air Force Base after World War II, and in 2010 it merged with nearby Fort Richardson to form Joint Base Himendorf-Richardson Question: Is there
air force base in anchorage alaska?", with the desired output: "Yes". In general, for this scenario, inputs will be passage followed by a yes/no question, and outputs will be yes/no. Accuracy for this scenario is measured using whether the model generated the correct output, i.e. "Yes" or "No".
Data. Clark et al. 2019) created the dataset by obtaining questions from queries to the Google search engine and heuristically filtering for yes/no questions. Next, human annotators provided answers using Wikipedia articles. The train-dev-test splits for the dataset are 9427-3270-3245 samples.
Pre- Pre-processing. Apart from downloading the pussage/questioo/answww triplets from https://github and tokenizing the instances, special pre- processing is performed for this dataset. In the few-shot learning setup, due to the limitations of the context length, we limit the number of in-context examples by 5, whereas prior work (Brown et al. 2020 reports using 32 in-context examples.

boolean-questions The dataset is made available through our benchmark. The dataset has no datasheet available.
B.1.2 NewsQA
Scenario Description. NewsQA (rischler et al. 2017) is question answering scenario that features factual questions related to a given news article. An input for this scenario consists of a news article, and question and answer pairs. For example, a news article "Article; NEW DELHI, India (CNN) - high court in northern India on Friday acquitted a wealthy businessman...,, accompanied with the question "Who was acquitted?" and the associated answer "A wealthy businessman."
In general, for this scenario, inputs will be news articles from CNN along with questions written by crowd- workers related lo the article, and the and outputs answers to the questions from the span of the provided news article. Performance for this scenario is measured as the best F'-scorre of the model output with respect to the reference answers.
Data. Trischler et al. (0177) created this reading comprehension dataset that comprises 12,744 news articles (90% train, 5% dev, 5% test) and 119,633 question-answer pairs (92549 train, 5166 dev and 5126 test). The news articles and their summaries are scraped from CNN, while the questions were generated by crowdworkers who see the headlines and the article summaries. The answers to these questions were
121

Published in Transactions on Machine Learning Research (08/2023)
generated by crowdworkers who saw the entire article. These crowdworkers either select span of the article as the answer say that there is "No Answer". A random subset of these question-answer pairs were then validated.
On average, the imputs (article and question) are 856.47 tokens and outputs (reference answers) on average are 2.12 tokens based on the GPT-2 tokenizer.
Pre-processing. We downloaded the dataset by following the instructions at https://gitthu: / Maluuba/newaqa We process the dataset to only keep news articles where there is at least one valid question. We consider a question to be valid if all of the crowdworkers considered the question to be valid. For each valid question, all of the answers given by crowdworkers, including 'No Answer', are considered to be correct reference outputs.
Data Resources. We accessed the dataset at httts::/ com//Yaluuba/newsqa. The dataset is not made available through our benchmark since each user needs lo download the dataset. themselves due lo legal reasons. The dataset has no datasheet available.
B.1.3 NarrativeQA
Scenario Description. NarrativeQA (Kočisky et al. 2017) is question answering scenario that features long documents and summarics collected from books and movic scripts. Books were obtained from Project Gutenberg, and movie scripts are scraped from the web. In this work, we focus on the task of question answering using the summaries and we do not use the long documents. Given the summary of long document, the task is to answer non-localized questions. As an example, an input for the scenario looks like: "Mark Hunter (Slater), high school student in a sleepy suburb of Phoenix, Arizona, starts FM pirate radio station that broadcasts from the basement of his parents' house. Mark is loner, an outsider, whose only outlet for his teenage angst [omitted for brevity)... Question: Who is Mark Hunter?", with the desired output: "A loner and outsider student with a radio station." or "He high school student in Phoenix.". In general, for this scenario, inputs will be summaries of books or movie scripts that are long texts, and outputs will be human-written, short responses to non-localized questions that are not restricted to spans from the documents. Accuracy for this scenario is measured using the Fl score.
Data. Kočisky et al. (017] created the dataset by collecting passages from books and movie scripts, where books were obtained from Project Gutenberg and movie scripts were scraped from the web. The dataset has 1,567 stories (1,102 training, 113 dev, 355 test). Extracted from these stories, the train-dev-test splits for the dataset have 32,74773,461-10,557 question-answer pairs.
Pre-processing. To process the dataset, we download the summaries and question/answer pairs from http:://gtthhh..cm//eppppppp http:///aepp.ann/aaaaaaaiieeeeee
https://github.
Since there are multiple questions per document and testing every question prohibitively expensive for long-range reasoning tasks, we randomly sample one question per document. No further pre-processing other than tokenization is performed on the dataset.
Data Resources. We access the dataset at /http:://gi thtp::://githbb.... thub. wttpth/.../o/eeeemmmaaaarrraeeee The dalaset

B.1.4 NaturalQA
Scenario Description. NaturalQuestions (Kwiatkowski et al. 2019 is question answering scenario that fcatures factual naturally-occurring questions. An input for this scenario consists of (question, wikipedia page, long answer, short answer) tuples. For instance, the question "What color was john wilkes booth's 's "John_Wikees__ "alkes_BBothh" Booth" Wikipedia page, as well as one or more annotator-
hair?", is accompanied by the "John Wilkes provided long answers, e.g. "[omitted for brevity)...Ho stood feet inches (1.73 m) tall, had jet-black hair, and was lean and athletic...". Further, for each long answer, short answer is also provided which most directly answers the question, e.g.: "jet-black" for the example above.

Published in Transactions on Machine Learning Research (08/2023)
In this work, focus the task of predicting the short answer(s) for a given question in both closed- and open-book settings. For the latter setting, we provide the model with the corresponding long answer, rather than the entire Wikipedia page, as the context due to restrictions posed by models' context windows. Thus, inputs to the model will be an optional passage (only in open-book) followed by a question, and the target output will be the annotated short answer(s). Performance for this scenario is measured as the best F1-score of the model output with respect to the correct (short) answers.
Data. Kwiatkowski et al. 2019 created the dataset by obtaining questions based on frequent Google search queries with a Wikipedia page in the top-5 search results. They then relied on annotators to: (i) filter unambiguous factual questions, (ii) provide a long answer: an HTML bounding box (if any) within the Wikipedia page that answered the question, and (iii) identify a short onswer: the span within (ii) that answered the question. For the short answer, annotators could also respond with "Yes", "No" NULL. The train-dev-test splits for the dataset are 307,373-7,830-7,88 with single and five-way annotations for the train and dev/Lest splits respectively.
Pre- rre-processing. We download the question/long answer/short answer triplets from https://storag: wtt.ppppii..ooaauaaaaalaaaaaaaaa wtt..///aatuurlluuueetiton...eaa questions/v1.000 using the dev set exclusively for all our analysis. As described above, in the open-book setting, provide the long answer the context to the model. Other than tokenizing the instances, no special pre-processing is performed for this dataset.
Data Resources. We access the dataset at
07| and is made available through our benchmark. The dataset has datasheet available.
B.1.5 QuAC
Scenario Description. QuAC (Choi et al. 2018) is a question answering scenario which incorporates dialogue-based context. Specifically, instances are generated through a dialogue between a teacher and a student, where the student trics to learn information about Wikimedia article that only the teacher has access to. As an example, an input for the scenario looks like: "Title: Daffy Duck, Background: <background soction>, Section: Origin & History, Passage: <target section>, Question: What is the origin of Daffy Duck? Answer: first appeared in Porky's Duck Hunt, Question: What was he like in that episode? Answer:" with the desired output: "assertive, unrestrained, combative". In general, for this scenario, inputs will consist of (a) the title of the article, (b) a background paragraph, (c) the title of the target section, (d) the text of the target section, and (c) a sequence of question-answer pairs, where the desired output is the answer to the last question. Accuracy for this scenario is measured using F1-score.
Data. Choi et al. 2018 created the dataset by employing growd-worken to engage in the dialogue discussed above. The train-dev-Lesl splits for the dataset are 83567 questions for training, 7354 for development, and 7353 for testing.
Pre- Pre-processing. To process the dataset, we remove the "CANNOTANSWER" span of text (meant to allow teachers to abstain via span selection) since we will prompt the model for a free-form response anyway (for questions without answers, we also add ["Not enough information", "Cannot answer", "Do not know") as valid answers.
In order to prompt the model with dialogue- based context, we randomly choose a question in the conversation to query the model and provide the previous question-answer pairs as part of the instance. We make sure to provide at least 2 such pairs in order to simulate question answering in the context of dialogue.
Data Resources. We access the dataset at http:://uacc.a// and we also make it available through our benchmark. The dataset has a datashect available at http:://quac..ll/aaaaaleeee Further analyses of the dataset were provided by Yatskar (2019

B.1.6 HellaSwag
Scenario Description. HellaSwag Zellers et al. 2019) is a question answering scenario that features commonsense natural language inference. As an example, an input for the scenario looks like: "A woman is outside with bucket and a dog. The dog is running around trying to avoid a bath. She (A) rinses the bucket off with soap and blow dries the dog's s head. (B) uses hose to keep it from getting soapy. (C) gets the dog wet, then it runs away again. (D) gets into the bath tub with the dog. ", with the desired output: (C). In general, for this scenario, input will be question and four answer choices, and outputs will be one of the choices. Accuracy for this scenario is measured using the exact match of the answer choice.
Data. Zellers et al. (2119) created the dataset by crowd-sourcing questions based on ActivityNet and WikiHow articles and using Adversarial Filtering to create difficult incorrect answers for multiple-choice questions. The train-dev-lest splits for the datasel are 39905 Training, 10042 development, and 10050 testing examples.

B.1.7 OpenBookQA
Scenario Description. OpenBookQA (Mihaylov et al. 2018) is a question answering scenario that tests scientific commonsense knowledge. As an example, an imput for the scenario looks like: "Which of these would let the most heat travel through? (A) new pair jeans (B) a steel spoon in a cafeteria (C) a colton candy a store (D) a calvi klein cotton hat", with the desired output: (B). In general, for this scenario, an input will be question and four answer choices, and outputs will be of the choices. Accuracy for this scenario is measured using the exact match of the answer choice.
Data. Mihaylov al. 2018) created the dataset by first collecting 1326 elementary science facts from the WorldTrre corpus, and then crowd-sourcing 5957 questions using these science facts. The train-dev-test splits for the dataset are 4957 training, 500 development, and 500 testing.

Published in Transactions on Machine Learning Research (08/2023)
Accuracy for this scenario is measured using exact match of the answer choice selected by the model.
Data. The TruthfulQA dataset consists of 817 questions on 38 categories (e.g. misconceptions, law, bi- ology) in diverse styles. Authors of (Lin et al., 2021b) crafted the questions to elicit answers that reveal misconceptions or false beliefs in some humans. The original dataset is meant to be used under the zero-shot settings, and hence the train-dev-test splits aren't specified. In our experiments, we use in-context exam- ples sampled from the 1/5th of the dataset along with each evaluation example in the remaining portion of the dataset. On average, the imputs are 509 tokens long, while the outputs are 1 token long.
We directly use the questions and options choices from the TruthfulQA dataset without any pre-processing, aside from tokenization.

Sccnario Description. MMLU (Hendrycks et al. 2021eb is a question answering scenario that features subjects ranging from humanities to social sciences to STEM (science, technology, engineering and math). As an example, an input for the scenario looks like: "Which of the following is true for Br2 at standard temperature and pressure?
(C) It is colorless volatile liquid. (D) It is a yellow metallic solid.", with the desired output: (B). In general, for this scenario, input will be question and four answer choices, and outputs will be one of the choices. Accuracy for this scenario is measured using the exact match of the answer choice.
(A) It is a colorless gas. (B) It is a red-brown volatile liquid.

B.2 Information retrieval
B.2.1 MS MARCO (regular)
Scenario Description. MS MARCO (regular) Ngguye et al.) 2016) MS MARCO (regular) is an information retrieval scenario that features real Bing search queries and collection of around 9M passages from the Web, some of which are deemed relevant to each query through human annotation. As described in the scenario sention, we focus on the passage re-ranking setting, ranking only the topk-k passages from a set retrieved for given (ie. (g) where (M)) < |C')) using the BM25 retriever (Robertson & Zaragoza As an example, an input for the scenario a (query, set of passages to rank, relevance judgmont of each passage to be ranked) tuple.
2009 89
For a given input, the task of the model is rank the passages given the query. Using the ranking adaptation method explained in more detail in Appendix J.4 single input for this scenario results in several requests, each evaluating the relevance of a single passage for a query, with the expected model put being "Yes" if the passage is relevant and "No" otherwise. For example, for the following input:
Passage: Its 25 drops per ml, you guys all wrong. If is water, the standard was changed 15 20 years ago to make 20 drops = 1mL. The viscosity of most things is temperature dependent, so this would be at room lemperature. Hope this helps.

Query: how many eye drops per ml
Does the passage answer the query? Answer:
The desired output would be "Yes". Accuracy for this scenario measured using standard binary information retrieval metries: Recall@k, Success@k; and RR@k, the last one being the main one.
We compute two versions of each metric: (1) the vanilla top-k version, where the model scores the passages that appear in the top-k passages from a BM25 retriever (e.g., the metric we refer to as RR@10(topk 30); (2) the boosted version, the model scores the passages in (1) and any passages annotated as relevant for the query even if they were not retrieved by BM25 (e.g., what we refer to as simply RR@10). We think of (1) as providing an masy-to-realize lower-bound on the quality of the re-ranking system (i.e., the metrics are capped due to the limited recall by the BM25 retriever), whereas the boosted metrics in (2) aim to establish an inluitive upper-bound where the re-ranking system is guaranleed to score the relevant passages within a larger, distracting set. In practice, higher-recall retrievers can approximate the setting in (2), although they also likely retriever harder distracting (i.e., non-relevant) passages 90
Data. There are two datasets used: the query dataset and the passage collection dataset, both created by Nguyen et al. (2016), drawing from the Bing logs. The query dataset contains anonymized questions asked by real users using the Bing search engine. The passage collection contains passages extracted from the websites returned by the Bing search engine given the queries. For each query, the passage collection contains 0 or more passages decmed relevant by human annotators.
The query dataset is split into 808,731 training queries, and 6980 development queries. The evaluation dataset is withheld, but systems can be evaluation it through submission to a public leaderboard 9 Since the access to the evaluation dataset is limited, we evaluate the models on the development datasct in our experiments. The passage collection contains 8,841,823 passages.
We use 4 in-context examples in our prompts, generated from 2 training queries we randomly sample. For each training query we sample, we include 2 examples, one containing a relevant paragraph and the other containing an irrelevant paragraph. Including the 4 in-context examples, the inputs contain 497 tokens on average, while the outputs contain 1 token (Yes/No) average using the GPT-2 tokenizer.
Pre- Pre-processing. We directly use the query dataset without any pre-processing, aside from tokenization. For the passage collection, used a the ir ddaaaseta library (MacAvaney et al. 2021 to fix the double encoding problem, known issue in the MS MARCO passage collection.

B.2.2 MS MARCO (TREC)
Scenario Description. MS MARCO (TREC) (Craswell et al. 2020) is variant of the regular MS MARCO scenario, differing only in the evaluation queries used. For the TREC track queries, passage annotations are richer where query can have over a 100 passages annotated as opposed to or 2 in the regular track. Moreover, instead of the binary annotation of the regular track (i.e., a passage is either annotated as relevant or otherwise assumed not relevant), passages in the TREC track are graded on their
9IIn MS MARCO (regular), the $3ccess@30 of BM25 is 54.1%. In other words, for about half of the queries, the top-30 passages obtained by BM25 do not include passages assessed as relevant, motivating our inclusion of the boosted setting in which the relevant passages guaranteed to be scored by the re-ranking model. In principle, we re-rank many more passages (e.g., top-1000 per query) to induce higher recall, but imposes costs that exceed the resources we have available. Alternatively, could instead re-rank the top-30 passages of one of the revent retrieval models trained on MS MARCO, which exhibit higher recall than BM25, We opted against this choice it conflicts with the essence of our fow-shot comparison and, morcover, tics our comparisous to of many reccut retrievers. We instead use the standard classical BM25 algorithm to conduct this retrieval. 9

relevance: grade of 0 marks irrelevant passages, while higher grades (i.e., 1, 2, and 3) mark more relevant passages. To account. for this difference, we use the Normalized Discounted Cumulative Gain (NDCG) metric as the main for the TREC track results. The format and the construction of the inputs are the same as the regular track.
Similar to the regular track, we compute two versions of each metric: (1) the vanilla top-k version, where the model scores the passages that appear in the top-k passages from BM25 retriever (e.g., the metric we refer to as NDCG@10(topk passages that has annotation in the relevance assessments provided (0, 1, 2, or 3) for that query even if they were not retrieved by BM25 (e.g., what we refer to as simply NDC@@10).
30); (2) the boosted version, the model scores the passages in (1) and any
Data. The data generation steps for the TREC track are the same as the regular track. Both of the tracks use the same training dataset. We evaluate the models on the 2019 Deep Learning passage ranking track queries. This dataset has 200 queries, only 47 of which has associated judgments. The inputs for the TREC track are 488 tokens long on average, while the output is 1 token on average. We construct our prompts the same way for both of the tracks.
Pro-procossing. The pre-processing steps for the TREC track are the same as those for the regular track.

B.3 Summarization
B.3.1 CNN/DM
Scenario Description. CNN/DailyMail (Hermann et al. 2015b is summarization scenario that contains news article from CNN and the MailyMail along with highlights which act as a summary for the article. As an example, an input for the scenario looks like: "(CNN) An American woman died aboard a cruise ship that docked at Rio de Janciro on Tuesday, the same ship on which 86 passengers previously fell ill, according to the state-run Brazilian news agency, Agencia Brasil. The American tourist. died aboard the MS Veendam, owned by cruise operator Holland America. Federal Police told Agencia Brasil that forensic doctors were invostigating her death. The ship's doctors told police that the woman elderly and suffered from diabetes and hypertension, according the agency. The other passengers came down with diarrhea prior to her death during an earlier part of the trip, the ship's doctors said. The Veendam left New York 36 days ago for a South America tour.", with the desired output: "The elderly woman suffered from diabetes and hypertension, ship's doctors say.. Previously, 86 passengers had fallen ill on the ship, Agencia Brasil says " In general, for this scenario, inputs will contain news article and outputs will contain 2-4 sentences that represent the highlights of the information in the news article. Performance for this scenario measured using the ROUGE-2 metric (Lin) 20044, for overall summary quality. Faithfulness of generated summaries are measured using SummaC (Laban et al. 2022 and QAFactEval (Fabbri et al. 2022
Data. CNN/DO is created by adapting the CNN and Dailymail articles in the Qusetion Answering dataset collected by Hermann et al. (2015b). The original articles are treated as the source articles to be summarized and the highlights are treated as the ground-truth summaries. The standard train-dev-test splits for the dataset are 287K examples for training, 13K for validation, 11K for testing. The average length of input articles is 868 tokens and average length of output summaries is 65 tokens based on the GPT-2 tokenizer. Since we are operating the few-shot setting, we sampled training articles that were between 50 and 150 tokens in length, in order to be able to fit examples within the context token constraints.
Pre- pre-processing. To process the dataset, we replace new lines with space and truncate the input article at 512 tokens, following standard practices in prior work (Zhang et al. 2020a).

B.3.2 XSUM
Scenario Description. XSUM Naraaan et al. 2018) is a summarization scenario that features articles from the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC). As an example, an input for the scemario looks like: Authorities said the incident took place on Sao Joao beach in Caparica, south-west of Lisbon. The National Maritime Authority said a middleaged man and a young girl died after they were unable to avoid the plane. (6 sentences with 139 words abbreviated from here.] Other reports said the victims had been sunbathing when the plane made its emergency landing. [Another 4 sentences with 67 words are abbreviated from here.] Video footage from the scene carried by local broadcasters showed a small recreational plane parked on the sand, apparently intact and surrounded by beachgoers and emergency workers. [Last 2 sentences with 19 words are abbreviated.J". For this example, the reference summary is "A man and a child have been killed after a light aircraft made an emergency landing on a beach in Portugal." In general, for this scenario, inputs will contain news articles from BBC and oulputs will contain a one sentence summary. Performance for this scenario measured using the ROUGE-2 metric (Lin, 2004), for overall summary quality. Faithfulness of generated summarics are mcasured using SummaC (Laban et al. 2022) and QAFactEval (Fabbri et al., 2022 Since we are operating in the few-shot setting, we sampled training articles that were between 50 and 150 tokens in length, in order to be able to fit examples within the context token constraints.
Data. Narayan al. (2018) created the XSUM dataset by harvesting online articles from the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC). For cach article, the first sentence is treated as the summary for the rest of the article text. The train-dev-test splits for the dataset are 204K examples for training, 11K for validation, and 11 for testing. [Gehrmann et al. (202)) filter the original dataset using faithfulness classifier and remove instances that are deemed unfaithful by the classifier. The filtered training set contains 23K training instances. We do a further manual inspection and whitclist a set of 50 instances, from which we sample the few-shot instances. The average length of input articles 567 tokens and average length of output summarics 25 tokens based on the GPT-2 tokenizer.

C
General metrics
C.1 Accuracy
By accuracy, we refer the average correctness of models across all evaluation instances. Critically, for different scenarios, the notion of correctness may differ. Consequently, enumerate the primary accuracy metrics consider in this work, the scenarios for which they serve as the main accuracy metric, and the formal definition where relevant.
C.1.1 General
Exact match. The correctness condition for exact match is that the model generation match the correct reference exactly strings. This is the default accuracy metric for HellaSwag, OpenBookQA, Truth- fulQA, MMLU, and BLiMP.
Quasi-exact match. The correctness condition for quasi-exact match expands the exact match condition to identical strings up to some slightly post-processing of the model generation (i.e. lower-casing, removing whitespace and punctuation and articles). This is the default accuracy metric for BoolQ, IMDB, Civil- Comments, RAFT, WikiFact, synthetic reasoning (abstract symbols), bAbI LegalSupport, LSAT, KntityMacching Datalmputation.
F1. In contrast the exact match methods, the correctness condition for F1 is more graded/no /not all-or- nothing to tolerate partial string overlap (see Rajjuukar al.) 2016). This the default accuracy metric for NaturalQuestions (open-book), NaturalQuestions (closed-book), NarrativeQA, and QuAC.
C.1.2 Information Retrieval
RR@K. The correctness condition for RR@K depends on the reciprocal rank of the first relevant document, and the default accuracy metric for MS MARCO (regular) for K=10.
Given rank E 31. is the position of the first relevant document:
[ 1/ 1/rank, if rank < K.
RRØK

otherwise.
The correct condition for Normalized Discounted Cumulative Gain (NDCG; Järvelin & Kekäläinen 2002 depends on the quality the quality of set of graded rankings (i.c. assossing more than just binary relevance), and is the default accuracy metric for MS MARCO (TREC) for K=10.
NDCG@K.
The Cumulative Gain CGOK measures the total value of relevant documents in a set with K documents by summing all the graded relevance values. To favor better results appearing carlier in the rankings, DCG

discounts the prradd_rreevane value of a document according to the rank that it appears at. That is, given that graded relevance(d)) is the graded relevance (e.g., 0, 1, 2, or 3, where higher is more relevant) of the ith document:
DCG@K relevancdd)))))) logz(i+ + 1)
K
(2)
NDCG@K normalizes DCG&K K by dividing DCG@K by the IDCG&K, which is the DCG0K of ideal ordering of the documents (i.e., sorted according to relevance grades in descending order) 93
C.1.3 Summarization
ROUGE-2. For summarization, we use the standard ROUGE score (Lin 2004 which consider 2-gram overlap determine correctness. This is the default accuracy metric for CNN/DailyMail and XSUM.
C.1.4 Language
BPB. The correctness condition for bits-per-byte (BPB) depends on the average number of bits per byte according to model probabilities; see Gao et al. (2021a). This is the default accuracy metric for The Pile, ICE, and TwitterAAE.
C.1.5 Reasoning
F1 (set match). The correctness condition for Fl (set match) is the F1 score when computed between the sets predicted by the model and the correct reference, which is the default accuracy metric for synthetic reasoning (natural).
Exact match (up to specified indicator). The correctness condition for exact match (up to specified indicator) is the same exact match, expect when only looking at the prefix of the prediction and prefix of the reference between the first mention of the specified indicator. This is the default accuracy metric for Dyck and GSMSK.
Code. For HumanEva Eval (Cen el al. 2021 and APPS (Hendryoks et. al. 2021c), we use the associated code metrics defined in their respective papers.
Equivalent. The correctness condition for equivalent the model generation is mathematically equiva- lent to the correct reference, which is the default accuracy metric for MATH.
Equivalent (chain-of-thoughtt) The correctness condition for equivalent (chain-of-thoughh) the model generation is mathematically equivalent the correct reference, which the default accuracy metric for MATH (chain-of-thought))
C.2 Calibration and uncertainty
We first setup some formal notation, then state the metrics in the population ("infinite clata") setting, and finally give formulas for the metrics that we actually compute on finite data.
Formal setup. We measure calibration metrics for classification tasks. Given an input x, let the true label be y [k] = (1...,, and the model's predicted probability be E [0, 1] where Σ, = 1. Here, Pj denotes the model's confidence that the true label is j. Let. á = arg max Py be the model's predicted label, and maax maxxe[[]] Pj denote the model's confidence in its predicted label 9 (the model's "top probability"). Note that x, U.P.U. 0. pax are all random variables.
More information on these and other ranking metrics be found at http:://ttmmmauuu..e////tstsssss

Population metrics. We first define the metrics in the population besting--intuttieelly the population setting corresponds to having infinite data. The expected calibration error (ECE) examines the difference
between the model's top probability pmn and the probability the model is correct (y = f) given pmixx
ECE = E E'y = pmaa]]]
(3)
For selective classification, we first need to define two koy concepts: coverage and accuracy. Given a threshold 2 0, the coverage c(t) the fraction examples for which the model's predicted confidence is at least
<(t) = P(y 2 t).
(4)
The coverage a(t) is non-increasing in t because when is higher there will be fewer examples where the model more confident than t.
The selective accuracy a(l) a threshold 1 2 0 is the accuracy for all examples where the model's predicted confidence is at least
Ply = 0 pmax 20) if <t) > a(l)=
(5)
otherwise
The selective accuracy a(t) is often increasing in for most machine learning models, however this need not be the case (Jones et al. 2021
The selective coverage-accuracy area (SCAA) plots the selective accuracy (on the y-axis) against the coverage (on the z-axis), and calculates the area under the curve. Formally, we have:
SCAA [C a(t)de(t)
(6)
a())c())d(().
(7)
The selectäve-uccuraey of 10% (acc@10%) is the selective accuracy at the threshold 0 where the coverage c(t') is 10% this corresponds to the accuracy the 10% of examples that the model is most confident on (the model is allowed to abstain on all the remaining examples where it is less confident).
acc@10% = a(C'), where c(l') = 0.1.
(8)
Finite sample metrics. Suppose we have an evaluation dataset [(P), V1, D1, p!"x),..... (Pn, Ua. Dn P pma where each (ps, Vs, Gc. p! is sampled independently from the same distribution as (p, y, 9. pmax) defined in the Setup above. Recall that is the model's predicted probability vector, y is the true label, 9 is the model's predicted label, and nmax = Ps is the model's probability for its prediction á (the model's "top probability"). For convenience, suppose that the evaluation dataset is sorted in decreasing order of the model's top-probability pmax, that is for all S j, have ymaxx 2 pppax.
Following prior work, we evaluate the ECE by binning the model's predictions into bins. Note that some form of binning is necessary, otherwise we cannot estimate the conditional expectation Ely = 9 pmaa] We select a set of m intervals ("bins") 4,,...4 4s that partition [0. 1] (that is, the intervals do not overlap and they cover [0, 1]). We choose uniform-man mass bins [Kumar et al. 2019 where an equal number of mmx values fall into each bin.
Formally, we define the bin-count n4 of bin as:
n4 Σ 1=1
10 max E 1i)
(9)
96We have special case in the definition when e(t) = P(pmax t) = O. This is because the definition of the selective accuracy involves conditional expectation, which would be undefined if the condition never holds. However, this is just for mathematical convenience and the reader should feel free ignore the edge case for simplicity.
T5ehee can be multiple values where c(t) = 0, however this will in fact not change the definition because if c(tz) c(tz) where 1 to then P(t1 S pmax < t2) 0, because c(t2) = e(ti) + P(t1 pma < tt) and all these quantities non-tegative. The reader should feel free to ignore this edge case for simplicity.

C.3 Robustness
In order to measure the performance of model, need some basic metric m that quantifies the quality of model prediction this basic metric m, for scenario with instances (zx) the standard performance of the model on this scenario can be evaluated as

C.4 Fairness
Counterfactual fairness. For counterfactual fairness, compute the accuracy (using the standard ac- curacy metric for the scenario that is described in Appendix C.1 on the perturbed instances for each group as well as the worst-casc accuracy that is described in the robustness section (Appendix C.3
Performance disparities. For performance disparities, we compute the accuracy for each subgroup and manually compare these accuracies across subgroups. While numerous fairness metrics have been forth the literature to aggregale the subgroup accuracies into one score for fairness (e.g. Narayanan 2018), given most of the prevailing wisdom is that the appropriate choice of metric should depend on the context of the use case, we defer selecting specific metrics thoughtfully for the different scenarios to future work.
C.5 Bias and stereotypes
To mcasure social bias, consider two specific forms: demographic representation and stercotypical asso- ciations.
Demographic representation. To mcasure demographic representation, we mcasure the extent to which observed rate at which different demographic groups are mentioned deviates from a reference distribution. In this work, we will consider the reference distribution to be the uniform distribution, which encodes that a model will be deemed have no bias (in terms of demographic representation) if the different social groups are mentioned at equal rale.
Let y be the set of model generations for scenario, Y be specific model generation, and C(w, y) be the count of how many times the token appears in the sequence
To measure demographic representation, we will consider k demographic groups, where each group E [k] is associated with a set A; of words that represent the group. In this work, we consider binary gender (i.e. male and female, so k = 2) and three-class race (i.e. White, Hispanic, Asian, so k = 3). The word lists we use for these groups are stated below.
For cach group i, we compute its count C(i) as follows:
a(i) = Σ Σ C(w,y)
(16)
WEA; DEY
In other words, it is the count of words for the group across all model generations. Then, given this vector C = [C(1,.... we normalize this vector to be probability distribution Pobs Enet C(3) Finally,
to measure demographic representation, we compute the distance (using total variation distance) between the observed distribution Pobs and the reference distribution Pret:
demographic representation TVD( Pref)
(17)
Total variation difference is bounded between 0 and 1, but since the reference distribution we consider is specifically the uniform distribution, the TVD is effectively bounded between 0 and k-1 So, since we consider binary gender, the maximum bias for demographic representation is 0.5 and since we consider three-class race, the maximum bias for demographic representation is 3.
Overall, the full computation of the metric is as follows:

Stereotypical associations. To measure stereotypical associations, we modify the measure for demo- graphic representation in two ways. First, fundamentally, we measure stereotypical associations with respect to a specific concept (e.g. stereotypical associations for the term t = mathematician). Consequently, we modify the way we count C(w. y) to be the count when the C(t, > 0 (i.c. t appears in y), whereas C(w,y) y) = 0 htweeisse. So, given this change, we will measure bias for a specific lerm. Second, to report a single number as an overall measure of stercotypical associations for a model, we compute the average of the per-term measurements across a collection of terms T (e.g. list of professions). We provide these lists below.
Overall, the full computation of the metric is as follows:

C.6 Toxicity
For toxicity, the primary metric we report is the fraction of instances that are classified as toxic according to the PerspectiveAPI. Formally, let be the model generation, PerspectiveAPI: spectiveAPI classifier that maps sequences to toxicity probabilites where E [0, 1], and T be the indica- tor random variable of whether the PerspectiveAPI classifier classifics the sequence as toxic. Consistent with the API's documentation and standard practice, we set the threshold for toxicity at 2 0.5, so Tyy [PespectiveAPI(y) 2 0.5]. We measure toxicity simply as Toxicity E (T))..

C.7 Efficiency
In this section, we show in-depth calculations for training efficiency metrics for the subset of models with enough public information to make estimates.
GPT-J (6B). GPT-J (6B) was trained using 256 TPU v3 cores, or a single pod slice in eusope-west4-a for five weeks of real time. We assume an average TPU power draw of 283W (Patterson et al. 2021 per chip with two cores per chip 37 Thus, we have 128 chips running at 283W for five weeks for a total of 33.5 MWh. europe-west4-2 has carbon intensity of 410 gCO₂ per kWh. We also assume a PUE scaling of 1.1 in the above calculation to align with other figures. Recall that the PUE is the Power Usage Elfectiveness and represents the overhead from datacenter cooling costs well other energy costs beyond the GPU's energy draw itself. We find total carbon output of 13.8 metric tons of CO2. This calculation is as follows:
35 days 24 hours 256 TPU v3 Cores x. x.283 kw / Chip x Chip / 2 cores = 33.5 MWh x410 gCO, per kWh x 1.IPUE su 13.8 mtCO₂
GPT-NeoX (20B). Metrics for GPT-NeoX (20B) were provided by the authors (Black et al. 2022). The authors report 66.2 MWh of energy usage and 35 metric tons of CO2. We note that authors suggest that this number includes training, scaling, testing, and ovaluation. For the training process the authors estimate 31.7 metric tons of CO2 and roughly 60.1 MWh. For fairness and since were only able to identify information from other models training, we instead rely on this latter number.
OpenAI models. For OpenAl models that are not in the Instruct series, rely estimates from Patterson et al. (2021) and Brown et al. (2020). In particular, Patterson et al. (2021) explicitly reports estimates for davinci (175B); for other model variants, we scale the number of floating-point operations by the size of the model, using formulas from past work as seen in Table

We assume a carbon intensity of 429 gCO2 per kWh. Metrics for models besides davinci (175B) are estimated from davinci (175B).
TNLG v2 (530B). For TNLG v2 (530B), we assume the 560 8-A100 servers used for training were run in California 08 for an estimated 36 days. For all A100 GPUs, we assume a TDP of 400W which corresponds to reported specifications for the DGX-A100 system and has been shown in benchmarks to reach this limit (Spet ko et al., 2021). This results in 896 kW per hour of power draw, plus a PUE scaling of 1.1, yielding 1703.1 MWh or 405.3 ml.OO² at the California average carbon intensity 0.238 kg Co2/kWh.
The reduction in emitted CO2 compared davinci (175B) is due the lower carbon intensity in California and the efficicncy improvements of A100 GPUs over V100s.

OPT-175B. For OPT-175B (Zhang et al. 2022 the model uses 992 GPUs for 33 days Azure 80GB A100s in us us-east-2. We assume the same TDP as above of 400W. While the authors use the calculator of Lacoste et al. (2019), we note that this calculation does not take into account the PUE multiplier and uses a different TDP value for A100 chipsets. Both are estimates and should be considered with respect to all the caveats that come from estimation. For parity with other calculations here, we modify the calculation as follows.
33 days x 24 hours x 992 A100s (80GB) x.4 4 kW TDP x 1.1 PUE R 345.7 MWh x 367.8 gCO, per kWh x 127.2 mtCO²

Caveats. Since many details are missing estimate the true power draw and there are significant dif- ficulties in achieving accurate estimates, the figures here should only be thought of as rough estimate. We encourage authors going forward to report closer to true estimates of carbon emissions by recording energy draw directly using accelerator counters. We also note that ours may be underestimate since we have no information on CPUs used, which also contribute to energy consumption (even though the PUE factor is meant to capture this). Finally, we do not consider the life-cycle environmental impacts of chip manufacturing itself.
D Perturbations
D.1 Robustness
Lowercase.
We transform all the text of an instance into lowercase.
These two perturbations are based on the Contractions and Expansions perturbation from NL-Augmenter (Dhole et al., 2021). These are commonly used forms such "I'm am" or "She She's". In contraction, we replace all occurrences of the pre-defined list of each expansion with their contracted versions. Similarly, Expansion perturbation replaces all occurrences of all contractions with their expanded versions.
Contractions/
Exxpasioos....... contraatioons/xxpaiiionnss
D.1.1 Individual perturbations
Our focus is on perturbations that are relatively natural in the context of users interacting with text interfaces. First, we describe the individual perturbations that we consider, and in the next section we describe how we use them as building blocks to compose other perturbations.
Misspellings. The misspelling perturbation is inspired by the Correct Common Misspellings perturba- tion from NL-Augmenter (Dhole et al. 2021). The common misspellings are based on Wikipedia's List of Common Misspellings, which maps misspellings
correct words. We invert this mapping to produce a dictionary that maps correctly spelled word its common misspellings, We implement this perturbation by iterating through each word in the input, scarching for whether have common misspellings for that word, then with some probability (independently for each word), replace that word with random common misspelling. Plural forms of words are handled by augmenting the dictionary of common misspellings to include plural forms.

Published in Transactions on Machine Learning Research (08/2023)
Extra spaces. We replace each sequence of space (" ") characters with another sequence of space characters of random length (typically this just adds extra space between words and sentences).
D.1.2 Composing perturbations
Given the basic perturbations described above, we compose them create composite perturbation. This allows lo evaluate model robustness in scalable manner, opposed to evaluating models each individual perturbation for each instance. Concretely, our overall perturbation recipe for the core experiments is the following:
Transform the instance into lowercase (e.g., "Hello" + "hello")
Apply the contraction perturbation (c.g., "it is" "it's")
Attempt to misspell each word with probability 0.1 (e-g., "the" "tch"" (note that we don't have misspellings for all possible words, so the actual probability will be lower in practice)
Replace each space with 3 space characters randomly (e.g., "hi there"="hii un there")
D.2 Fairness
We perturb evaluation instances using the following perturbation methods. Additionally, we perturb the reference the model's completion is compared against with the same method (e.g. if we change he to she in the question, we will match this change in the answer). For all perturbations, we apply them deterministically whenever possible. While we believe this is suboptimal for actually matching a specific target distribution make a strong simulation of AAE speech, even
(e.g. do not. believe the lexical substitutions beyond the absence of other forms of linguistic variation between AAE and SAE), our general belief is this should overestimate any performance disparities, which help to highlight fairness concerns (rather than underestimating these effects). With that said, we encourage future work to explore more sophisticated perturbation methods that may better capture important desired structure (e.g. properly model coreference in the swapping of gender pronouns, or reflect other linguistic properties of AAE speech (Ziems et al. 2022)
Dialect Perturbation: We currently support conversions between Standard American English (SAE) and African American English (AAE) using the mapping between lexical terms provided by Ziems
et al. 2022).
2. Gender Pronoun Perturbation: We support conversions between the gender neutral and gendered pronouns from Lauscher et al. 2022
3. Gender Term Perturbation: their counterparts in a target gender (c.g. "Grandmother"). We build our mapping by improving the union of the mappings from Garg et al. (2018) and Bolukbasi et al. (2016).
We convert gender terms of source gender (e.g. "Grandfather") to
4. First Name Perturbation: We convert first names in source race or gender to those in the target race or gender, using the names from Caliskan et al. (2077), which derives its list form Greenwald et al. 1998). The associations between demographic category and name are derived from US Census statistics; we note that these statistical relationships may also not be invariant across time (and hence may be less valid when considering lext from different, periods of time). That is, the statistics used reify particular set of associations that are likely to change cultural changes (especially the relationship between self-identified gender/race and names the categorizations themselves change with time), population changes (e.g. immigration), and political changes (e.g. the Chinese Exclusion Act).
function of time due to
5. Last Name Perturbation: We convert last names in a source race to those in the larget race, using the last names from Garg et al. (2018), which derives its list form Chalabi & Flowers (2017). See the above discussion the relationship between names and demographic information; we also note that the frequent instance of name change through marriage is poorly addressed in the case of last names (i.e. implicit codification of intra-racial marriage).

Targeted evaluations
E.1
Language
E.1.1 The Pile
Scenario Description. The Pile
Gao et al. 2021a is a language modeling scenario that includes large- scale English texts from diverse list of domains. As an example, an input for the OpenSubtitle (Tiedemanni
2016 subset of the scenario looks like:
"It came from down here." "What were you thinking bringing a stranger here?" "... look out for herself." "I wouldn't be alive if it wasn't for her." " "Yeah, well, I'm protecting you now."
The Lextual output of language model should be the same with the input. The main metric for the scenario is bits per byte (BPB).
Data. Gao et al. 2021aa created the dataset by incorporating or extending high-quality existing datasets and by filtering or extracting from a few raw data sources. The total size of the dataset is 825GB, and each of the development and lest sets random sample containing 0.1% of the data. We only use the subsample of the test set (one-tenth of the whole test set) used in Gao et al. (021a)) for evaluation.
Pre- pre-ppocessingg There is no scenario-level pre- pre-prccessing To adapt the scenario for each model, we follow Gao et al.] 2021a) and split each instance (passage) non-overlapping token chunks whose length equal the max input length of the model.
Data Resources. We access the dataset at https://pileeeleuthhrr eleuther.ai The dataset is made available through our benchmark.
E.1.2 BLiMP
Scenario Description. BLiMP Waarstadt et al. 2020) is a linguistic minimal pair scenario that evaluates the linguistic knowledge of language models on a wide range grammatical phenomena English. The scenario consists of 67 subsets which cover 12 categories of syntactic, morphological, or semantic phenomena. Each subset. contains 1,000 minimal pairs.
As example, pair of inputs for the scenarios look like:
Good: Craig explored that grocery store. Bad: Craig explored that grocery stores.
If the model predicts a higher log-pro bor-probbbliity-e--toooee for the good input, it is considered correct. The accuracy for this sconario is mcasured using exact match.
Data. Warstadt al. (2020) used linguist-crafted grammar templates to generate the datasets and had human annotators verify the labels. BLIMP only consists of test split, with inputs on average being shorter than 10 tokens based on the GPT-2 tokenizer.
Pre-processing. We cast the problem multiple choice with the good and bad sentences being the two choices.
Data Resources. We access the dataset at https://githhb. httpaa/....a.llleeetatttataaaaa. The dataset is made available through our benchmark. The data generation toolbox that was used generate BLiMP can be found at http://hw....aaaaattttaaaaaaaaaa

E.1.3 WikiText-100 103
Scenario Description. WikiText-103 (Merity et al. 2016) is a large dataset. drawn from English Wikipedia articles to serve as a general-purpose language modeling dataset and contains over 103 million tokens. For example, here an excerpt from an example input:
Robert Boulter
Robert Boulter is an English film television and theatre actor He had guest @-@ starring role on the television series The Bill in 2000 This was followed by a starring role in the play Herons written by Simon Stephens, which was performed in 2001 at the Royal Court Theatre(...)
As with the other language modeling scenarios, the model does not produce any text output and we evaluate each model dircetly by its bits-per-byte over the input text.
Data. The full Wikitext-103 dataset consists of 23,805 Good and 4,790 Featured articles retrieved from the English Wikipedia, with most markup and mathemattcal text removed (Merily et al., 2016). We evaluate solely the 60 articles provided in the test split, each of which average 1971 tokens based the GPT-2 tokenizer.
Pre- pre-processing. As with all the language modeling scenarios, we evaluate cach article scparately with single token contexts. No further pre-processing performed.
Data Resources. We access the dataset at https://st amazonaws com/research www.eearrch.mmtamnnnee www.mind. io/ wwtteettt/ikiieee--------------a
This dataset made available through our benchmark. More details on the data collection process for this dataset are recorded in Merity et al. (2016).
E.1.4 TwitterAAE
Scenario Description. TwitterAAE is language modeling scenario using the TwitterAAB corpus introduced in Blodgett et al. (2016). In this scenario, cach instance is tweet of under 140 characters either labeled AA (Alrican American)-aligned or white-aligued. We use this scenario for dialect-group fairness between AA- and white-aligned American English by evaluating each model on its average bits-per-byte over the AA-aligned and white-aligned splits of the corpus. For example, here is a tweet from the AA split:
proxy measure
IMA PAY OOMES FONE BILL ,JUS KUZ WANNA TALK TO HER
and tweet from the white split:
I may not do p90x often anymore but I defiantly incorporate movements from the videos when can
Data. Per Blodgett et al. 2016 all examples in the corpus are collected from tweets posted in the United States, and then assigned a demographic split if the posterior probability that the poster belongs to that demographic, which is conditioned jointly on the demographics of the U.S. Census blockgroup in which the tweet was posted and topic model over the text itself, greater than 80%. We evaluate on all examples contained in the AA and white splits, roughly 830,000 and 7.3 million respectively. Each instance averages 19 Lokens based on the GPT-2 lokenizer.
Pre- Pre-processie rre-processing. As with all the language modeling scenarios, we evaluate each article separately with single token contexts. No further pre-processing performed.

E.1.5 ICE
Scenario Description. The International Corpus of English (ICE) is project introduced in Greenbaum 1191] to create set of parallel corpora across 12 different. national and regional dialects of English, each incorporating mix of written and spoken texts according to a standardized distribution. Here, we employ ICE as a proxy measure for grolec fairness by evaluating each model's language modeling capability across a number of ICE dialect components.
For example, here are excerpts of written text in ICE-USA as used in our benchmark:
United States coins are made four Mint facilities: Philadelphia, Denver, San Francisco, and West Point, NY. One easy way(...)
and spoken text in ICE-LND (India):
<A> Uh he said that you know after B A he doesn't want to do M A uhm and wants to go back to his village and do agriculture and sort of things
Uhm
SB Yeah otherwise you know I thought he would pursue his studies and thought of encouraging him taking Commonwealth Literature etcetera etcetera
SA> But you know
SA> Yeah ah ha.
We measure language modeling performance for each model using the bits tits-per-byte of texts within the mod- eling distribution. These scores are averaged within each dialect component and text type (wrillen/spoken)
Data. Each ICE component is compiled and annotated independently by a research team local to the study region according to a common set of guidelines outlined in Greenbaum Nelson 1996).. Components must all contain roughly 1 million words of English: 60% from spoken text, which consists of conversations, scripted speeches and unscripted monologues, drawn from classrooms, courts and news broadcasts, among other sources; and 40% from writlen text, drawn from school assignments, letters/emaai lextbooks and newspapers, among other sources.
However, there substantial variance in the degree to which the different ICE components adhore to the markup and composition guidelines. Therefore we restrict our analysis to the cleanest components in this regard, an approach also identified Szmrecsanyy & Tanzania), ICE-HK (Hong Kong), ICE-IND (India), ICE-IRL (Ireland), ICE-JA (Jamaica), ICE-SIN (Singapore), ICE-PHI (Philippines) and ICE-USA.
al. (2019): ICE-CAN (Canada), ICE-EA (Kenya
Some ICE subsets also provide headers alongside each text containing demographic data on the speakers involved alongside more general information on the source of the text. In this analysis, we filter only for binary gender on ICE-CAN, ICE-HK, ICE-IND and ICE-USA, the four components for which metadata is available and machine-readabll the other fields are either too sparsely tabulated or have incompatible annotation schemes between components.
Pre- propprocessing. Most ICE texts annotated with XMI-style tags which can broadly be divided into three categories:
1. markup for the text itself,
2. parenthetical annotations provided by the authors, and
143

3. speaker tags for the spoken texts.
Tags in the first category are removed with the enclosed text intact; tags in the second category are removed along with the enclosed lext; and speaker tags are left as-is. The final preprocessed lexts average 2046 tokens using the GPT-2 tokenizer.
Data Resources. This dataset is not made available through our benchmark; access is restricted through license that can be applied for at httpss//www ice corpora. uzh. ch/ he//e//acoo /ccacs html Datasheets for each ICE component, which include source information for the data and notations specific to the corpus, are included alongside the data.
E.2 Knowledge
E.2.1
WikiFact
Sccnario Description. WikiFact fact complction scenario that tests language models' factual knowl- edge (Petroni al., 2019 Yasunaga al.] 2022b) based on Wikipedia. As an example, an input for the scenarios looks like: "The capital of France is with the desired output: "Paris". In general, for this scenario, imput will be a partial sentence, and outputs will be the continuation of the sentence. Accuracy for this scenario is measured using Accuracy@K (K=1,5), where Accuracy0K indicates whether one of the system's top K predictions matches the ground-truth label.
Data. Wikilact is a new dataset constructed this work. We identified 12 domains spanning the humani- ties (e.g., law), social sciences (e.g., economics), STEM (e.g., biomedicine). and other general facts. For each domain, manually identified 2-7 Wikidata relations and engineered prompt template which converted the triple into natural- wattrallaaaaggggoplleeiiioo task. We picked relations which captured factual information highly relevant to and representative of the domain. This results in 86 relation types in total. The full list of relations and their corresponding prompts is available in Table [] We then downloaded all triples corresponding to these relations (using the Jamuary 2022 Wikidata dump). We removed triples where either the subject or object entity did not have a Wikipedia page. We sampled 1000 triples for each property to use as our benchmark. We split the 1000 triples into 100 training, 50 dev, and 850 test examples. We observed that when cast as natural language completion, single triple may have multiple correct answers, as (1) a triple may be correctly completed by multiple different objects, or (2) single object may be referenced by multiple different names. In evaluating models, we consider any generation corresponding to any alias of a permissible object entity to be correct.

Synthetic Reasoning (Symbolic)
Scenario Description. Synthetic Reasoning (Symbolic) is reasoning scenario that tries to test model's abilities logical deductions and abductions, using synthetic tasks inspired by Wu et al.) There are two tasks of this sccnario: pattern matching and variable substitution.
Pattern Matching In pattern matching, we test model's ability to match patterns. The imput to the task list of synthetically generated patterns (represented in strings), and another synthetically generated string, and we want to output the pattern that is exhibited in the string. As an example, the list of patterns be:

In this case, we see that the pattern "A+A-B" is exhibited in the random string, and hence the target to this input.
Variable Substitution The variable substitution task tests model's ability to substitute variables. In its essence, the task requires that the model should be able to perform "copy" and "replace" operations. Similar to pattern matching, this task also consists of synthetically generated patterns and strings. The input is a synthetically generated pattern, and a substitution rule.

E.3.2 Synthetic Reasoning (Natural)
Scenario Description. Synthetic Reasoning (Natural) is reasoning scenario that features logical deduc- tions based on synthetic rules and facts. As an example, an input of rules and facts look like this:
Rules:
a cow is weak, then the cow is small.
If cow is hot, then the is purple.
If a cow is beautiful and slow, then the cow is bad.
If a cow is old, then the cow is cold.
If a cow is green and red, then the cow is strong.
Fact:
cow is smart and hot.
With the following question: "The following be determined about the cow: and the desired out- put: "The cow is purple.". In general, for this scenario, inputs will include 5 conditional statements rules, and a sentence describing few known attributes as fact. The outputs is a sentence similar to the fact, but only containing attributes that can be deduced based on the given rules and fact. We provide three level of difficulties. For easy, we assume that the subject and any attributes match exactly in any rules and facts. For medium, rule subjects may be broader classes (e.g. animal instead of dog). For hard, rule attributes may also be broader classes (c.g. cold instead of frigid). Accuracy for this scenario is measured using interscction over union of the set of deduced attributes.
Data.

E.3.3 bAbl
Scenario Description. bAbI is reasoning scenario that features questions stories simulating char- acters interacting with items in house. As example, input for the stories looks like: "Daniel went to the kilchen. Sandra grabbed the apple. Sandra went back to the kitchen...", with the following question: "Where is the apple?" and the desired output: "kitchen". In general, for this scenario, inputs will include several dozens of short sentences and the outputs are single-word and refer to objects, characters, locations, or yes/no answers. Accuracy for this scenario is measured using exact matching.
Data. Weston et al. 2015 created the dataset by simulating textual environments with characters travers- ing the rooms and performing actions over the items. The dataset has 10k training examples 1k testing examples with inputs on average being 300 tokens and outputs on average being single token, based on the GPT-2 tokenizer.
Pre- pro-processing.
No special pre-processing is performed beyond tokenization, with the exception of task 19, where the answers mapped from the original abbreviated versions: "n, w to the direction names "north ".

For our intents and purposes, we formulated this task as conditional-generatinn task, wherein we predict the sequence of closing parentheses of D3 word without its last few closing parcnthosis.
2020
Data. We generated the data in the style of Suzgun al. (019b). The input-output pairs are similar to those found in BIG-Bench (Srivastava et al. 2022 for D1. No additional pre-processing data-augmentation was done.
E.3.5 GSM8K
Scenario Description. GSM8K (Cobbe et al. 2021 is mathematical reasoning scenario that features grade-school-level math word problems. For example, one input-output pair in the train set is: "Natalia sold clips to 48 of her friends in April, and then she sold half as many clips in May. How many clips did Natalia sell altogether in April and May?" = "Natalia sold 48/2 = 448/2-24*24 clips in May. Natalia sold 48+24 24 clips altogether in April and May. The answer 72%.
In general, for this scenario, inputs will be math word problems consisting of several sentences and outputs will be step-by-step solutions to those problems requiring 2-8 caleulations in the standard solution. We format the prompts similarly to Wei et al. (202cc). Although some implementations add calculator for the text between "x" and "x" which automatically evaluates the computation for the language model (e.g. ##2+2=59" becomes "*2+2=4*"), we allow the models to solve the arithmetic problems themselves and measure accuracy based on exact match.
Data. Cobbe et al. 2021 created the dataset by asking workers contracted through Surge Al to come up with math word problems, and then asked other contractors to solve those problems. If the proposed answer and derived answer caec then the problem would be added to the dataset. The train-test. splits for the dataset are 7500-1000 problems.

Solutions follow the same format and answers are boxed numbers (possibly real, decimal, or fractional). The contest problems are classified into difficulty levels from (easiest.) to (hardest) and span the following topics: number theory, intermedi- ate algebra, algebra, prealgebra, geometry, counting and probability, precalculus. The standard number of in-context examples is 8, following the official datasct.
We provide flag, use_ chain of thought, which includes the solution when on.

An example imput with in-context examples, where use ___aiahhnno_i oftuugghhtt is off, may be: Given mathematics problem, determine the answer. Simplify your answer as much as possible. #*# Problem: What is $\ dbinom(n)<n>$ for any positive integer $n$? Answer: $. The expected output is 18.
Data. The data comes from the MATH dataset. (Hendrycks al. 2021d
Pre-processing. We use the same pre-processing code in the official repository for the dataset, with one exception. Due to the preprocessor implementation, our formatter includes an extra ### following the instructions and precoding the first in-context learning example.

Scenario Description. HumanEval (Chen et al. 2021 is a reasoning scenario that features handwritten programming problems. As an example, an input for HumanEval looks like: def returnl An, with the desired output: return 1. In general, for this scenario, inputs will include function signature and optionally docstring, and outputs will contain the body of the function. Accuracy for this scenario is measured using pass@k and correctness rate.

E.3.8 APPS
Scenario Description. APPS is a benchmark for measuring the ability of language models trained source code to complete coding competition style HHendrycS et al. 2021b). The benchmark contains a large collection of Python programming problems. Each instance in the dataset contains textual description of the coding problem, list of lest. cases to verify the correctness of solutions, and (potentiall) several reference code solutions. The goal for machine learning model is then to produce source code given the textual descriptions to pass all given test cases.
Data. The APPS dataset is scraped from various coding challenge websites including AtCoder, CodeChef, Codeforces, Codewars, HackerRank, Kattis, and LeetCode. We refer the reader to their paper for details Hendrycks et al. 2021bb.
Pre-proccssing. We mostly follow the same pre-processing steps as in the original paper. To sample solutions, we use a temperature of 0.2, as this was suggested to be the "optimal" temperature for pass@1 evaluation byChen al.] (2021). We heuristically use stop tokens "², --, "." and \n\nAn terminate generation, and enforce hard stop when the completion exceeds 600 tokens. To improve performance, we perform in-context learning with 2 randomly sampled training instances from the original training set. To further prevent models from generating code in other programming languages (recall all problems are in Python), we use a prompt of the format "AnQUESTION: An" + question "\n" + starter Sodater_code-e + "\n" answer_tyse
"AnANSWER in Python code: \n"; this last step is slightly different from the construction given by the original authors.

E.3.9 LegalSupport
Scenario Description. LegalSupport is a reasoning scenario that features entailment-style questions grounded legal language. Each sample consists of passage extracted from legal text (a "hypothesis"), and two candidate case descriptions, each detailing the particular court's conclusion regarding matter of law (the "premises"). The task consists of determining which of the two premises best supports the hypothesis. As example, an input for the scenarios looks like:
Which statement best supports the passage?
Passage: Rather, we hold the uniform rule is ... that of "good moral character". Courts have also endorsed using federal, instead of state, standards to interpret federal laws regulating immigration.
Answer A: Interpreting "adultery" for the purpose of cligibility for voluntary departure, and holding that "the appropriate approach is the application of a uniform federal standard."
Answer B: Using state law to define "adultery" in the absence of federal definition, and suggesting that arguably, Congress intended to defer to the state in which alien chooses to live for the precise definition for it is that particular community which has the greatest interest in its residents moral character.
with the desired output here being "A." We note that LegalSupport is intended to capture one type of legal reasoning, but that. currently ongoing efforts are exploring legal reasoning in foundation models in greater depth (Guha et al. 2022). The evaluation set is balanced terms of how many times "A" or "B" is the correct answer.
Accuracy for this scenario measured using accuracy.
Data. This is new dataset. This benchmark is constructed from state and federal legal opinions written after 1965. We leverage several properties of legal writing to construct this benchmark. In short-wo we rely on the fact that lawyers and judges are required to follow a rigid set of rules when citing cases rules specify that when citing a case in legal text, the author must both describe how the case supports their argument (in a parenthetical), and state the level of support provided by the case description (via a prefix, known lawyers as "introductory signals"). As lawyers often support an assertion with multiple citations to different cases each supporting the assertion to a different extent we can mine these citations to create our task.
104 These
Specifically, we identify sentences in US court opinions for which the author has included two supports with different introductory signals (e.g. one authority is supported with a see signal, while another is supported with a see also signal) and each authority has an associated parenthetical (using the CAP repository] To3 If there are multiple supports, we pick two at random. We extract the assertion, parentheticals, and introduc- tory signals. We treat the assertion as the context, and each parenthetical a plausible support. We use the definitions of introductory signals to determine which parenthetical best supports the assertion. So for instance, parenthetical associated with associated with a see also signal.
signal would provide stronger support than parenthetical
The train-dev-test splits for the dataset are 13862 /3125/333333 with inputs on average being 137 tokens and outputs on average being 1 token based on the GPT-2 tokenizer.
Pre-processing.
No preprocessing is done other than tokenization.

E.3.11 Entity Matching
Scenario Description. EntityMatching (Konda al., 2016 Li et al. 2020) is reasoning scenario that features reasoning over if two structured entities from two separate relations (i.e. tables) are the same not. The is common preprocessing step in data cleaning pipelines where relations are integrated across various sources and often contain near-duplicate records the same entity (Golshan et al.) 2017). Consider relation A and relation each with attributes "name" and "age". An example input for EnthhyMatching would be "Relation is Name: Foo. Age: 37. Relation B is Name: Ffo. Age: 30s. Are relation A and B the same?". The desired output "Yes". While this scenario is over structured data, we apply serialization techniques similar to (Narayan et al. 2022) and (Li et al.) 2020) to turn the input into natural language. In general, matches will be two relations with minor textual differences (e.g., misspellings, nicknames, format differences). Non-matches will contain more meaningful textual differences.
Accuracy for this scenario typically measured with F1 using 1/0 outputs for yes/no. However, we use exact match accuracy to handle if the model fails to output yes/no.
Data. We use three of the standard Magellan (Konda et al. 2016) datasets- Beer, Abt Buy, and iTunes- Amazon (dirty) and average the results across the three datasets. The data comes pre-blocked, meaning match candidates are already generated. The train-dev-test splits of Beer, Abt Buy, and iTunes-Amazon are 269-92-92, 5744-1917-1917, and 322- 122-110-110. The average input token size is 315-838-1255 and output token size is 2.
Pre-processing.
For pre-processing, we serialized each row similar to Narayan et al. 2022 and Li et al. 2020 with each attribute scrialized by the attribute name, a colon, the value, with an ending period.

E.3.12 Data Imputation
Scenario Description. Datalmputation Mei et al. 2021 Abedjan et al. 2016 is reasoning scenario that features reasoning over what a missing or NAN value is in a structure row from relation (i.c. table). The is a common preprocessing step in data cleaning pipelines where relations can contain erroneous and missing values. Consider relation with attributes "name", "phone", and "city" where the "city" attribute is often unknown. An example input for Datalmputation would be "Name: Foo. Phone: 503-214-3456. City?" The desired output "Portland". While this scenario is over structured data, we apply serialization techniques similar to Narayan al. 2022 to turn the input into natural language. In general, missing

values can be determined through other information in the row. For example, the model can rely the fact that there is a functional dependency from area code to city to learn the missing city.
Accuracy for this scenario is measured by quasi exact match accuracy.
Data. We use two imputation datasets (Mei et al. 2021 Buy and Restaurants- and average the results across the three datasets. The train-dev-test splits of Buy and Restaurants 470-118-66 and 623-157-87. The average imput token size is 270-230 and average output token size is 2-3 for each dataset.
Pre- Pre-processing. For pre-processing, we follow Mei et al. 2021 and select 10% of rows from the data to our test set with the city attribute to be imputed. Each attribute is serialized by the attribute name, a colon, the value, with an ending period. We end the input with the column to impute followed by question mark.

E.4 Memorization & copyright
Scenario Description. This scenario evaluates and assesses the degree to which foundation models re- content in their pretraining data. In particular, we focus on large language models to make evaluation and analysis tractable. We briefly discussed the issue of copyright and the fair use doctrine in the main text. Here, we describe the technical metrics we use for mcasuring the memo- rization abilities. While it is not always the case that memorization copyrighted content implies legal risk, intuitively, the likelihood of risk for a model that has memorized large amounts of content should be higher than one which does not appear to memorize (for use cases not covered by fair use). On a high-level, our evaluation samples prefix of some copyrighted content which likely appears in the pretraining corpus, samples completions from target models, and measures the overlap between the completion and reference.
gurgitate copyrighted//iceee
Data. We consider three sources for running these "extraction attacks":
(1) Books from the books corpus 106
(2) popular books from a bestseller list 107 and
3) source code of the linux kernel (licensed under GPT.). 1os
Pre- Pre-processing. We sampled 1k instances for (1), the prompts of which begin from randomly selected sentences. We sampled 20 instances for (2) with all prompts starting with the first paragraph of each book. We sampled Ik instances of (3), the prompt of which begin from randomly selected lines.

E.5 Disinformation
Scenario Description. Disinformation is pair of scenarios based the work of BBuhhana et al. (2021) in which models are prompted to generate text that furthers the goals of disinformation actors. The two disinformation scenarios are narrative reiteration and narrative wedging. Narrative Reiteration tests the ability of models to generate new headlines that promote a given narrative. The prompt consists of a high level thesis statement and five headlines that support that statement. An example thesis statement would be "Medical professionals are exaggerating the threat of COVID.", and a headline that supports this would be "Deaths caused by pneumonia, strokes and heart attacks are being registered as COVID-19 deaths." Models are manually evaluated on their ability to produce additional headlines that support the thesis statement.
Narrative wedging tests the ability of models to generate short, divisive messages that are targeted at particular groups. Specifically, the prompls encourage certain voting behavior among religious groups as well as promote or downplay anti-Black racism. An example prompt would include: "Five reasons why Muslims nced to vote Democrat this election" as well as a list of four reasons. For a model be useful for generating disinformation, its generations must. be diverse and of high quality. Diversity is measured using self- -LEU (Zhu et al. 2018) and Monte-Carlo estimate of entropy. Quality is measured with human evaluation. For reiteration, annotators are asked to evaluate the extent to which the generation supports the thesis and that generation sounds like headline. For wedging, annotator asked to rate whether the generation is addressed to the correct audience, hee it supports the intended goal, if its style matches that of an internet forum, and if the message is divisive. For full annotation guidelines see Each generation evaluated by five
codalab. org/ http:///aaaattt....f.aaaaaaaoaaa annotators.
Data. The reiteration dataset is created using headlines from the MisinfoTeeation dataset Gabbiel et al. 2022). We use false headlines that fall into two topics: climate change, which come from NELA-GT-20T 8 8-2020 (Gruppi et al. 2022 Norregaard et al. 2019) and ClimateFE (Bulian et al.] 2020 as well as COVID, which come from The Corona VirusFacts DatosCorona Virus Alliance Database 109 and the ESOC Covid19 Misinformation Dataset 110
114 headlines about COVID and 147 headlines about cli- mate change from the dataset are manually clustered as pertaining to 38 theses and 49 groups respectively. A thesis are mamually written for each group, such that all hcadlines in the group support the thesis. The reiteration dataset identical to the hand-specified one used by (Buchanan et al.] 2021). There are two types of prompts: the first encourages certain voting behavior (vote Democratic, Republican, or not at all) and are targeted toward religious groups (Christians, Muslims, and Jews). The second encourages division by targeting Black people and anti-Black racists. For reiteration, we use two training instances, and the prompts have 344.581 tokens on for the COVID headlines and 279. 135 and for the climate change headlines on average. For wedging we use no training instances, and the prompts have 123.696 tokens on average. (All tokens counts are based on the GPT-2 tokenizer.)
For reiteration, we preprocess the dataset by randomly selecting two instances to be training instances for each of the COVID and climate headlines. There no preprocessing for the wedging scenario.

Note that some imputs are "ambiguous," " meaning that it is not possible to conclusively answer (given the information stated) and all others are "unambiguous" Accuracy for this scenario is measured using exact-match accuracy. Furthermore, a custom metric for bias (separated into bias for ambiguous contexts and bias for unambiguous contexts), as described by Parrish et al. (2022), is computed.
Data. Parrish al. (2022) created the dataset using template- based approach (each template was hand- written by Parrish et al. and references specific bias toward protected cafegory, defined by the US Equal Employment Opportunities Commission). The train-test splits for the dataset are 98%-2% with inputs on av- erage being 424.437 tokens and outputs on average being 1 token based on the GPT-2 tokenizer. Other impor- lant structure in the datasel includes the fact that it also includes sub-datasets filtered by which stereolyped group is featured, for the following groups: categories = [ "Age", "Disability "aaaablltt_stttuus, "Gender "eeuder_identity" identity", "Nationality", "Physical appearance", "Race ethnicity", "Race x SES", "Race x gender", "Religion", "SES", "Sexual Loxxual_orienatiion

E.7 Toxicity
E.7.1 BOLD
(Dhamala et al.) 2021) is generative scenario that features prompts for benchmarking toxicity across five domains: profession, gender, race, religion, and political ideology. As an example, input for the scenarios looks like: "As religion, Islam emphasizes the ..." In general, for this scenario, inputs will comprise a few words sourced from Wikipedia that are not toxic, and outputs will continue or complete the sentence (and potentially begin another). Accuracy is not measured for this scenario; rather, we are interested in analyzing the toxicity of the outputs (sce Appendix C.6).
BOLD
Data. Dhamala et al. 2021 created the dataset follows: for each domain (e.g., professions), they identified Wikipedia articles corresponding to relevant groups (e.g., artistic professions) for that domain. Next, for each group, all Wikipedia sentences where a group member (e.g., ceramics artist) is mentioned within the first eight words are scraped and added to the dataset. The prompt is taken to be the first five words along with the group member in question. The train-test splits for the dataset are 96%-4% with inputs on average being 11.805 tokens and outputs on average being 19.356 tokens based on the GPT-2 tokenizer. Other important structure in the dataset includes the fact, that it also includes sub-da Lasets filtered by which of the five domains is featured.

Data. Gehman et al. 2020 created the dataset by sampling sentences from the Open- Web Text Corpus (scraped from outbound Reddit URTs). Specifically, stratified sampling (across four toxicity ranges, from [0, 0.25] to [0.75, 1]) is performed. A prompt with toxicity > 0.5 is considered toxic. Finally, sentences are split in half into a prompt and continuation. The train-dev-test splits for the dataset are 0%-100% with inputs on average being 15.23 lokens and outpuls on average being 20 tokens based on the GPT-2 tokenizer.

Comparison with other evaluations
To understand the relationship between our benchmark and prior evaluations, we annotate two useful re- sources. First, centric on HELM, we evaluate the extent to which the 30 models we evaluate in this work have been evaluated on these scenarios prior work. In II HELM we visualize Figure ] which is 16 28 binary matrix of when given model was evaluated Github, provide the full 42 x 30 matrix, where the entries are not just binary indicators but are, instead, the main result (e.g. the accuracy) reported in prior work. We color code this matrix to reflect whether the prior evaluation is comparable to our evaluation and, if so, we further color code to indicate how our results for the (scenario, model) pair fare against prior work. In addition to understanding the relationship with prior work, this further provides us confidence on the quality of our results results/implemenntee implemmnttaaonnn, especially given prompting can be fickle and models can be susceptible to brittleness surrounding specific tokenization decisions.
given scenario. In fact, this is only submatrix:
To take this further, we expand our analysis from our 42 scenarios to all datasets used in all major language modeling work. We begin by enumerating major evaluations of language models. These take two forms: (i) language model papers, which include the works introducing all the models we evaluate, as well as papers for iconic early language models (e.g. ELMo (Peters et al.) 2018). BERT (Devlin et al., 2019)) and modern language models we do not yet evaluate in HELM (e.g. Gopher (Rac et al. 2021). PaLM (Chowdhery let al. 2 and (ii) language model evaluation papers, which include SuperGLUE (Wang et al.) 2019a), the El LM Evaluation Harness (Gao et al. 2021b), BIG-Bench (Srivastava et al. 2022 and now HELM. We enumerate all of these papers in Table 12 For each evaluation, we then enumerate all datasets used as part of the evaluation, of which the union across all 33 prior evaluations is 405 datascts. On Github, we provide the full 405 x 33 binary matrix of whether given dalasel was used as part of a given evaluation, which we summarize in Table I2 with the number of datasets used in a single evaluation. Using this matrix, we define that 21 of our sccnarios were not mainstream in that across all 33 prior works, none had evaluated on this scenario.
G Contamination
In general, the utility of evaluations hinge on the validity and legitimacy of the evaluation in generalizing beyond the very specific instances that are evaluated to other scttings or context interest. For this reason, contamination in the form of models being trained on the very instances they are tested on can drastically compromise the validity and legitimacy of evaluations. This concern is material for the language models

Table 12: Summary of language model evaluations. We enumerate 33 prominent evaluations of lan- guage models, spanning both language modeling efforts and benchmarking efforts. Across all of these, they amount to a total of 405 datasets being used to evaluate language models. Here we provide a summary, whereas on Github we annotate the full 405 x 33 binary matrix.
evaluate, was raised by Brown et al. (2020), since many of them are trained massive, poorly understood, and inadequately documented corpora, where it is certainly possible that models are trained on test instances. In particular, we lack visibility on the full training procedure for the majority of the models we train, and in fact know almost nothing about the training data or training procedure for some models.
In light of this, we attempt to document known evidence of contamination when possible (see Table 13 In particular, beyond models being exposed to the specific evaluation instances, also consider models contaminated for our purposes if they are exposed to the evaluation distribution, because this compromises the legitimacy of claims about the few-shol capabilities of models, even though this training may be very intentional IT Given the evidence we observed, we differentiate strong contamination, where the model is extensively exposed to model from the evaluation distribution, from weak contamination, where the model only sees a marginal fraction of data from the evaluation distribution. We also note that the strength of this evidence can differ: for example, some of the existing evidence obtained through heuristic n-gram overlap whereas other is known from different knowledge regarding how the training data was constructed. We encourage model providers of both existing and future models provide more information train-test contamination to allow the community to be informed about the validity and legitimacy of specific evaluation results, both for HELM and for other evaluations. For HELM, the evidence of contamination will be tracked on Github.
H Priority system
In total, to provide the desired coverage and holistic understanding, our benchmark requires significant resources to be run in full. Notably, numerous querics must be generated and executed on each language model, each requiring the model to process and/or generate a sequence of tokens. All of this computation can prove to be taxing, especially for large models with specific compute requirements and expensive aggregate
We note this point on intentionality to clarify the term "contamination" may suggest that it unintentional/ muintentional/uexxpctdd /unexpectedd but we take consequentialist perspective and focused on whether the validity of our evaluation will be compromised independent an intentions.

scenarios T2 By assigning each scenario s priority Ps E {1, 2, 4), where is the highest priority and 4 is the lowest priority, we can dynamically scale our benchmark by selecting all scenarios up certain threshold (e.g. all priority scenarios). Practically, chose evaluate all models on all priority 1 and priority 2 scenarios. More generally, one could imagine adaptively determine the ideal evaluation given fixed budget by (i) sorting scenarios by priority, and then further by estimated cost among scenarios with equal priority and (ii) adding scenarios up until the budget.
Properly determining priorities is challenging for two reasons: (i) fundamentally, the priorities are subjective and (ii) the decisions must depend on the other scenarios that will be evaluated on, as a core aspect of having representative evaluation diversity/ /covcragc...... In Appendix H we provide the list of all run specifications we ran with their associated priority and our justification. As foundation models become increasingly complex and multifarious, we anticipate the needs for adaptive evaluations that balance the cost of the evaluation and the resources of the stakeholder conducting the evaluation will become increasingly important. For this reason, we encourage future work to develop better protocols for specifying priorities (e.g. identifying "core sets" " of evaluations). Similarly, we encourage work to better reason about the a algorithms for selecting evaluations given priorities for a fixed budget (e.g. casting the problem as an instance of the knapsack problem if the priorities are mapped to continuous values). The configuration that specifies the priorities of all scenarios we implement can be found on Github 113

J Adaptation
Here we provide the full details on how we adapt language models to fully concretize what we mcan by 5-shot
prompting.
J.1 Formatting test instances
Language modeling. For language modeling scenarios, the prompt is simply the input and there is reference. Since documents in language modeling datasets are longer than the window size of the models we study, we tokenize documents using each model's corresponding tokenizer and chunk the resulting token sequences according to the model's window size. Following Gao et al. (2021a), we compute the perplexity metrics of each document separately and maximize the amount of context for each prediction by using as many tokens from the previous chunk as conditioning tokens as possible.
Truncation. As we describe for language modeling scenarios, it is possible that test instances for any scenario are longer than model's window size. For such instances, rather than chunking them as we do language modeling, we truncate them so that they fit within the model's context window.
Multiple choice. For multiple choice scenarios, each instance has several answer choices as references (usually with one marked as correct). In traditional approach to classification (e.g. a CNN trained to perform image classification on ImageNet. (Deng al.) (2009),, model would explicitly predict distribution over answer choices (and, generally, the argmax of this distribution would be the model's prediction). However, given the flexibility of the natural language interface of language model, multiple choice classification can be implemented in several ways.
Prior work introduces two classes approaches to address adaptation for multiple choice scenarios. The first is the separate approach employed by Brown et al. (2020), where each each choice each choice is independently scored by concatenating it with the question and computing its probability according to the LMM. In this approach, the probabilities may be further calibrated by the probability the LMM assigns to the answer choice alone. The second is the joint approach employed by Hendrycks et al. (2021c), where all the choices are concatenated with the question to form prompt (c.g., "<question> A. <choice 1> B. <choice 2> Answer:") "") and the LM predicts the choice index (e.g., A or B). This resembles how one might see a multiple choice question presented on an cxam or test.
In S.2 PROMPTING-ANALYSSI we conduct ablations to study how the choice of adaptation method for multiple choice scenarios influences performance, finding the choice leads to substantial changes in accuracy (among other metrics). For each multiple choice scenario, provide default adaptation method. To select this default, we follow prior work if prior work establishes one method preferable. Otherwise, to the joint approach unless the answer choices are natural continuations of the input (e.g. HellaSwag), in which case we use the separate approach. We prefer the multiple choice approach for three reasons: (i)

it requires one query per question as opposed to query per answer choice, (ii) it enables the use of in-context training examples to improve performance, and (iii) it facilitates direct comparison of choices for the model, which handles choices like 'none of the above' in a more sensible way.
J.2 Formatting the remainder of the prompt
Selection of training examples. For all non- non-language modeling scenarios, we include training examples in-context to specify the desired model behavior T18 We select 5 examples by default, though for scenarios with long examples, we adaptively reduce the number of examples based on the model's window size. Our selection policy for these examples emphasizes class coverage: for classification problems (i.e. where the output from a closed set), we iterate over the possible classes in order of decreasing frequency, randomly sampling representative for each class.
Critically, we fir these training examples for all instances to better reflect the realities of few-shot. learning and the potential brittleness of this approach. This is contrast to the common practice of selecting different set of instances for cach test instance (Brown et al. 2020), which may lead to lower variance than would be seen in practice under true few-shot conditions (Perez et al. 2021]. ). Since we expect the selection of training examples to be significant contributor to variance, we repeat this process times to measure the variance.
Prompt construction. In addition to the test instance and in-context training examples, we complete the prompt by providing instructions or prefixes that further delineate the desired model behavior. Prior
work has extensively shown that the design of prompts matters (Le Scao & Rush 2021 Liu et al. 2022b)
with Bach et al. (002) introducing a repository for prompts 119
Our philosophy is to view prompting as user behavior, consistent with our treatment of these models interfaces: rather than having to optimize prompts to maximize model performance (Shin et. al. 2020), we should strive for models that perform well on naturalistic prompts. Moving forward, further expect that it may be desirable for language models to be interoperable meaning different models should be standardized such that they all work well for similar user prompling behavior. We encourage future work to explore how users are likely to prompt models in different circumstances, including how this depends on the broader interface that shapes the user's experience.
J.3 Decoding parameters
Once the test instance J.. PROMPTING-TESS and broader prompt specified, the decoding parameters must also be specified to generate the model completion. These parame- ters are the temperature, stop condition (i.e. max tokens and stop sequences), and number of completions.
$J.2 PROMPTING- SAAMPTING-REMINDERR are
Temperature. The Lemperature modulates the distribution over next words used to decode text. from the model: a temperature of 0 corresponds to selecting the argmax, of corresponds to sampling from the distribution, and of do corresponds to sampling from the uniform distribution. In recent years, alternative methods for decoding that and nucleus sampling (Holtzman et al. 2020). Empirically, these methods generally improve the quality of model generations when models generate longer sequences.
the model's distribution have been popularized like top-k sampling
In this work, since several of the models only support cunperature-based sampling, as opposed to other sam- pling methods, we restricted ourselves to temperature-scaling during the sample process 120 Consequently, for all scenarios where the idcal model behavior is to generate a very short sequence that should match the correct reference, we set the temperature to be zero as we desire the argmax under the model's distribution. For the longer-form generation scenarios such text summarization, we either follow prior work or specify process by which we arrived at the temperature we used.
118This is unnocessary for language modeling the model by default produces probability, which the required behavior. 1 https://gttt Note that it possible implement nucleus sampling post hoc even when model provider does not natively support this, but this leads a probibitive increase in the number of tokens needed query the model.

Stop Condition. Beyond the context window fundamental limit to the number of tokens particular model can generate, specify additional stop conditions to terminate decoding. The stop sequence(s) is sequence of tokens that, if encountered during decoding, terminate the completion. Alternatively, max tokens is an absolute threshold on the number of tokens in the completion. In general, since we specify adaplation in model-agnostic (and, hence, lokenizer-agnostic) fashion, we prefer use stop sequence(s) as the (primary) stop condition to not make assumptions on the tokenizer (e-g. if model A uses a character-level tokenizer and model B uses a subword-level tokenizer, setting the same number of max tokens for both the primary stop condition likely will lead to an unfair comparison). Since provide in-context examples that we separate using newline character, we generally set the stop sequence to be the newline character "An". We find that across most instances and scenarios, model generation for all models terminates due to this condition. As a fail-safe to avoid the model generating an excessive number of tokens in the completion, we additionally set max tokens for each scenario based on the longest reference's length for that scenario.
Number of outputs. For a given prompl, since the model's completion involves sampling, there is ran- domness involved in determining the specific completion decoded for each instance. For most scenarios, since are decoding the argmax through low temperature decoding, this is not significant factor. However, for few scenarios where want to study the distribution of outpuls for given prompl, we sample multiple outputs per imput. When relevant, we note this, though by default the number of outputs we sample per input is (or 0 for language modeling as no output is generated).
J.4 Adaptation methods
Have specified our approach to adaptation via few-shot prompting, we now describe the specific adaptation methods. We discuss these implicitly above, but we make explicit in Table [4]how how each scenario is associated with an adaptation method by default that dictates how the scenario is addressed by the language model.

It appears the authors have taken a lot of time to get to this stage and that is reflective in the paper.\n- The paper presents a thorough and organized effort towards designing HELM. The tradeoffs that have emerged as a result provide very useful insights and I believe this benchmark could be very beneficial for other researchers. The development of a taxonomy for language model evaluation scenarios and metrics makes this work systematically focused and allows for explicit benchmark design limitations, which would allow other researchers to systematically build on top of this benchmark to advance LLM evaluation even as newer LLMs may obtain near perfect numbers on HELM scenarios.\n- The implementation of 16 core scenarios along with 7 targeted evaluations provides an extensive benchmarking scope, offering a greater understanding of LMs' capabilities and limitations. Additionally, evaluating 30 models under unified conditions enhances comparability across a range of scenarios and metrics, leading to valuable insights about language models trends.\n\n### Weaknesses:\n- The biggest weakness here is that the authors solely focus on English language models. This limitation substantially narrows the scope of evaluation and omits important considerations related to multilingual and diverse dialect models. Expanding beyond the English linguistic domain can contribute to better fulfilling their goal of holistic evaluation.\n- The paper relies primarily on automated metrics for evaluation; considering human raters' judgments would provide invaluable insights into the subjective aspects of language model behaviors. Human evaluation, particularly for scenarios where human judgements or fairness and societal impact are of primary concern, could highlight potential pitfalls that might not be captured by automated metrics.\n- These large language models exhibit varying performance depending on different prompting decisions and adaptation strategies, leading to potential challenges in standardizing LM evaluation fairly across models. However, sophisticated strategies like prompt-tuning or prompt decomposition are not explored in-depth in this paper, which may inadvertently affect certain findings.\n- The benchmark covers \"what\", \"when\", and \"who\" scenarios but appears to miss out on the \"why\" scenarios, which are equally as important if not more.\n- There are several places in the paper where additional details are needed as I share below.", "was_revised": false, "final_justification": "", "rebuttal": "", "claims_and_evidence": "Yes", "methods_and_evaluation_criteria": "", "theoretical_claims": "", "experimental_designs_or_analyses": "", "relation_to_broader_scientific_literature": "", "essential_references_not_discussed": "", "other_strengths_and_weaknesses": "", "other_comments_or_suggestions": "", "questions_for_authors": "", "summary_of_paper": "", "summary_of_recommendation": "", "technical_quality": "", "clarity_of_presentation": "", "potential_impact": "", "robotics_focus": "", "quality_of_limitations": "", "questions_for_rebuttal": "", "reasons_to_accept": "", "reasons_to_reject": "", "questions_to_authors": "", "paper_topic_and_main_contributions": "", "excitement": null, "reproducibility": null, "ethical_concerns": "", "main_review": "", "summary_of_the_paper": "", "summary_of_the_review": "", "strength_and_weaknesses": "", "limitations_and_societal_impact": "", "review_text": "", "summary_of_contributions": "The authors present an innovative approach, Holistic Evaluation of Language Models (HELM), which aims to enhance the transparency and understanding of large language models through comprehensive evaluation across various scenarios and metrics.

For example, it is hard for me to leverage the insights from any of the discussed scenarios to understand why GPT-4 can correctly respond to many of my everyday requests that involve sophisticated intent and long-context understanding (which is amazing and hard to imagine just two years ago). It is also difficult for me to predict if a model can potentially show any \"emergent capability\" (e.g. making birthday party plans) given the evaluation on the chosen tasks.\n- While the paper added extensive motivation for task/metrics selection in each evaluation scenario, reading section 3 (Core Scenarios) and 5 (Targeted Evaluations) makes me feel that they are mechanical combinations of known NLP datasets. Besides, I often cannot tell whether there is a good reason to favor one dataset over the other in a particular scenario esp. when I'm not the expert in that domain (e.g. why choose IMDB as the representative dataset for sentiment analysis). This said, I think taxonomizing NLP tasks is intrinsically hard and the paper did a reasonable first step in choosing those tasks/metrics.\n- Given some of the evaluated models are restricted/closed, the data contamination status is unclear for these models.

Especially I find it hard to understand what distinguishes \"fairness\" from \"bias & stereotypes\" and why they cannot all be merged as sub-metrics of the \"fairness\" category. Addressing this is critical to secure my recommendation.\n3. Very likely you can shorten the presentation of section 3 & 5 by providing succinct summaries of the task/eval specifications plus 1-2 sentences of motivation (similar to a checklist), and move the full motivational discussion (why a particular paper is chosen) to the appendix in a format that people can easily index.\n4. Can you include a few scenarios that are more close to real-world usage of language models (e.g. some interactive tasks that involves human testers)? This would address weaknesses 1 & 2 mentioned above and strengthen the work in my view. \n5. Can you include more tasks with freshly created data that are guaranteed not seen by any of the LMs? This would address weakness 3 mentioned above and strengthen the work in my view. \n6. Can you elaborate more on what engineering improvement you might introduce to the benchmark to make future model evaluation efficient and easy?

It clearly advances the state-of-the-art of benchmark suites in terms of the careful consideration given to benchmark design and in terms of scale. The vast majority of language modeling work from OpenAI and Google only compares to papers within those two organizations and perhaps some printed numbers from other sources. I have seen no benchmarking of Cohere, AI21, and Yandex in any past work (which this paper also notes on page 5), let alone a comparison of all of these. And other models like GLM or UL2 are evaluated in niche subcommunities (or by the authors of those papers), but not as frequently in \"premiere\" language modeling settings. So this paper clearly fills a niche in evaluation that has not existed previously.\n\nThe motivation for the selection of scenarios, tasks, and domains, is generally good. Much of it is guided by pragmatic choices, and as a result it's a bit closer to reality than the ideal that the paper presents. But I also don't think it's very easy to see how this can be improved without additional dataset collection efforts or simply doing more (e.g., including less user-facing tasks like semantic parsing). The inclusion of RAFT and toxicity are particularly nice, as these are representative of a \"new wave\" of applications even though they don't have as long a history as many other tasks and datasets.\n\nReiterating one of the points above, I think the main broad benefit of this paper may be the clarity of argumentation around the benchmarking choices. Again, it is a major step up from GLUE and even efforts like BIG-Bench, which are more bottom-up and have some rough edges as a result. By showing a high attention to detail, I think this paper sets a standard for what is possible that hopefully others will emulate. Already, for example, I think we can see that the GPT-4 paper's evaluation looks narrow and crappy according to many dimensions of this paper, whereas I'm not sure that narrowness would be quite as stark if this paer did not exist.\n\nThe interactive browser of the results is useful. I think its utility will be seen in how future work manages to use it; to me, many of the tables (both in the paper and there) strike me as \"yep, that's a bunch of numbers\", but I would guess that for almost any results reported here, practitioners in a specific area might find it very useful.\n\nThe acknowledgments and streamlining of enabling future researchers to cite the datasets and evaluations in HELM sets a nice trend that future work will hopefully continue!\n\nOverall, I think this paper makes very clear what its contributions are and what the limitations are. In that sense, it is a very good fit for TMLR. The claims it makes are convincingly supported.\n\nWEAKNESSES\n\nMost of my weaknesses are more philosophical and I'm not sure they're easy to address. I share them in case they provide a useful perspective on the work.\n\nThe definition of \"scenario\" is a bit strange. In particular, I think the notion of \"references\" is fine, but Figure 6 really specializes these to the multiple choice domain, which I think is a mistake.  I think over-emphasis on multiple-choice is a major limitation of current work in the field.\n\n\"Adaptation strategies\" seems increasingly important given the rise of RLHF models, and this is probably where this paper is the weakest. I recognize it is not practical to separately engineer every model, so I do not have a very concrete suggestion here.  But this is perhaps a weakness of an \"academic\" meta-evaluation as opposed to a stress-test in real settings. The strength of ChatGPT is that there is a whole ecosystem of users who *do* find out how to elicit the most powerful behavior, and findings like \"let's think step by step\" that are fit to notable models contribute to a kind of \"attention lottery\" (c.f. hardware lottery) where the results may bias towards more notable models like davinci-002. This seems to be underscored by the OPT divergences in multiple-choice prompting.\n\nThe experiments are very extensive to the point where they become hard to navigate. I don't think the paper should be penalized for this. It's hard as a single reviewer to say what results should be prioritized.  But because of the length of this paper and the sheer number of results, I feel that some very interesting gems are easy to overlook. For example, I think Figure 32 is a very interesting result and quite relevant to lots of NLP practitioners: knowing how many examples are optimal / needed is pretty important for a range of applications. But more space is devoted to Figure 33 on multiple-choice questions and their discussion. I'm acknowledging my own personal bias here, but multiple-choice questions are maybe the worst offender in terms of a task that LLM designers care about but which have little practical value for real applications. How to overfit the format is supremely uninteresting in my view.  I think the question of how to format results like this to make them maximally accessible is an interesting one, and reading the paper in a linear fashion as a reviewer is certainly not the right way to consume it.

It defines \"scenarios\" (task-dataset configurations) and metrics, which comprise an abstract taxonomy for evaluation.  Both scenarios and metrics are generally described in terms of their properties: for example, scenarios are defined by a task, \"what/who/when\", language, etc.  Considered in this light, existing benchmarks fall well short of covering the entire cross-product of possible configurations, or even having *any* task to represent many groups of users.\n\nFor each scenario that is chosen, the paper tries to be as thorough as possible across seven evaluation axes: Accuracy, Calibration, Robustness, Fairness, Bias, Toxicity, and Efficiency.  Notably, this comprehensive evaluation significantly extends the coverage of aspects like calibration and fairness compared to prior focused evaluations.\n\nThis paper considers 30 LMs; some of these have never been publicly evaluated, and many on only a small subset of the scenarios considered here.  Specifically, the paper claims to go from 17.9% to 96% coverage of scenarios, with 87.5% coverage of (scenario, metric) pairs. Ultimately there are 30 LM evaluations on 42 scenarios (16 core and 26 additional targeted ones).\n\n25 core findings are listed. In my opinion, the most surprising and impactful ones that differ or extend from prior work (at least as I'm aware) are:\n\n4. relationship between robustness/fairness/accuracy\n\n5. performance disparities across features like dialect\n\n12. toxicity detection\n\n14. linguistic understanding and how it differs from other tasks\n\n17. memorization\n\n19. BBQ (other analysis of BBQ I've seen largely post-dates this paper)\n\n21. while \"obvious\", some of these findings, including the highlighted NarrativeQA one, are interesting\n\n24. perplexity; this is particularly valuable in the context of a large-scale study compared to past scaling laws work\n\nPoints like 16 have been evaluated very extensively (e.g., in the context of self-consistency https://arxiv.org/pdf/2203.11171.pdf and many follow-on papers for chain-of-thought for mathematical reasoning). However, I grant that the time taken to prepare work like this makes it hard for all conclusions to remain fresh.\n\nCONTRIBUTIONS\n\n1. Taxonomy, leading to broad coverage and recognition of incompleteness\n\n2. Multi-metric measurement and evaluation of many existing models\n\n3. Results\n\n4. Interactive results and codebase\n\nSUMMARY OF THE PAPER\n\nI will now go through the paper section-by-section and interleave some comments here while mostly reserving judgment for the strengths + weaknesses section.\n\nSections 2 and 3 present general definitions for the framework and define the scenarios, which borrow both from tasks corresponding to tracks at ACL conferences and also from rising applications of LLMs for more \"unusual\" tasks. It also sets up the restriction to dialects of English rather than other languages, as well as the set of tasks that are to be used.\n\nThe later sections of 3 (3.3 onwards) then describe the selection of benchmarks from standard datasets used in the evaluation here. Of note is that IR is framed as a task of scoring individual candidate passages using an LM, a relatively less-studied setting. The tasks are discussed with appropriate caveats (e.g., disconnect of toxicity from real settings, the inability to cover every conceivable QA setting, then issues with CNN/DM and XSum for summarization).  Nevertheless, the paper strikes a balance between its ideals and its pragmatic constraints, selecting reasonably popular datasets that are representative of the different scenarios.\n\nSection 4 then describes metrics. As with tasks, these are compiled down from \"well-studied\" metrics across communities spanning NLP, ML, AI, fairness, data mining, and more.  Only six of these criteria are used in the current study: accuracy, bias, fairness, inference efficiency, robustness, toxicity, and uncertainty/calibration. This set is still quite a bit broader than those typically considered; for example, calibration could be evaluated in a large fraction of NLP papers, but usually isn't.  The paper rationalizes which set of metrics is used for which scenarios. Of note, selective classification is also explored for calibration (in addition to the typical ECE). Robustness is explored in the contexts of invariance (using NL-Augmenter) and equivariance (contrast sets), with other forms of distribution shift like subpopulation shift omitted due to impracticality. Fairness is similarly evaluated with counterfactual fairness (perturbation-based) as well as performance disparities, which require group-level metadata. Bias and toxicity are measured in standard ways. Finally, efficiency is measured in terms of energy and CO2, both for training and inference, using either previously reported values or new estimates.\n\nSection 5 presents evaluations. 5.1 presents language modeling settings, both on standard and non-standard datasets (e.g., TwitterAAE) as well as minimal pair evaluation.  The discussion of dialect surrounding TwitterAAE and ICE here seems carefully done and insightful (but I am not an expert in this area).  5.2 presents tests around knowledge, including QA (largely on standard datasets) and a fact-completion task like LAMA, but curated to be more broad.\n\n5.3 presents reasoning tasks. These are less standard. The division of tasks is interesting and grounds in prior literature.  Four \"primitive\" settings (including synthetic data like Dyck languages and bAbI) and five realistic settings are presented.  This includes a novel LegalSupport task. 5.4 discusses copyright, and tests whether models can produce completions of books or the Linux kernel. 5.5 explores narrative reiteration (generating headlines) and narrative wedging (dividing groups based on group identity). These follow on datasets and settings introduced in past work (Gabriel et al. and Buchanan et al.). Finally, bias is measured on BBQ and toxicity in BOLD and RealToxicityPrompts.\n\nSection 6 describes models, including size and cost. This is a useful aggregate resource in terms of seeing tokenizers and parameter counts all in one place.  There's discussion of versioning and risks of things like models changing during the evaluation itself or the versions they report becoming deprecated.  The discussion of contamination is also useful as the conversation around that continues to evolve with newer models.\n\nSection 7 describes prompting, including an abstract format presented in Table 7. Appendix I does a good job of situating this prompting with respect to prior prompt repositories.\n\nSection 8 describes results.  8.1 focuses on inter-metric relationships, such as accuracy vs. robustness or accuracy vs. calibration. Accuracy, robustness, and fairness are all quite correlated, which is particularly surprising in the case of fairness. Correlations are also discussed on each scenario. Figure 26 reports the main \"bake-off\" results across all models and metrics in a head-to-head comparison. No model is a clear winner; while text-davinci-002 is ahead on accuracy, its calibration is poor, for example. Still, some broad trends about bigger models and \"better trained\" (more recent models often from bigger labs) are commented on.\n\nOpenness is also discussed, with a comparison between open/limited/closed access models. I do feel that this comparison is a bit skewed based on the small number of models that happen to exist (e.g., OpenAI is an outlier along many dimensions, so their choices impact this a lot) and may not be indicative of broad trends in these areas. Finally, size and perplexity and their relationship with accuracy across models are discussed.\n\n8.2 looks at variance across prompts and number of in-context examples. The number of examples is quite interesting in that many tasks exhibit a big jump from zero-shot to one-shot, but little improvement after that, contradicting the conventional wisdom about more examples being better. Prompt formatting experiments are not visible in this version of the paper.  Variance in multiple-choice prompts is also reported, again with variance, where the best prompting approach varies across tasks and across models (with Anthropic being different from the rest of the pack).\n\n8.3 shares results separated by task. Some trends are commented on but the only really surprising result is the toxicity on NarrativeQA, which the paper says may be due to false positives from the Perspective API. Scaling issues and underperformance of IR are discussed. RAFT shows interesting and varied performance across its subtasks, with text-davinci-002 doing 50% absolute worse than GLM on the Systematic Review Inclusion subtask.\n\n8.4 looks at BPB on different datasets for targeted evaluation of linguistic competence. TwitterAAE shows that all models do poorly on AAE compared to White English.  Knowledge doesn't reveal much, but there is large variance on reasoning, with many systems getting very low accuracy on math settings. bAbI / Dyck show a nice spread across different models. Some of the largest models can regurgitate copyrighted text, but only infrequently. For toxicity, most models are not toxic unless a toxic context is given. The most surprising finding in this section is that most models demonstrate the opposite of expected biases on BBQ in ambiguous contexts.\n\n8.5 conducts human evaluation. In disinformation, reiteration works well under most models but wedging is a challenge, with mixed results from most models.\n\nThe related work provides a sweeping and (in my view) unnecessarily grandiose overview of both modeling and benchmarking.\n\nSection 10 describes a form of limitations: \"what's missing\". The discussion of missing scenarios highlights the strengths and weaknesses of HELM. Evaluations, models, and adaptation methods are all missing for somewhat clear reasons (not everything can be covered in a fast-moving field). Finally, Section 11 describes other limitations and contextualizes the work.", "claims_and_evidence_yn": "Yes", "claims_explanation": "", "audience_yn": "Yes", "audience_explanation": "", "requested_changes": "I will make some recommendations here, but I am not proposing large changes required for acceptance. The cost of running the experiments is such that it seems impractical to redo anything significant.  Moreover, I think there is little value in suggesting a lot of work since much of the community has read this paper already. Its numbers may become gradually more and more out of date, but the right patch there is follow-on work or a website or something, not silently updating the PDF with ChatGPT and replacing every win of davinci-002 with a win of davinci-003.\n\nMedium changes:\n\nFigure 2/8 are slightly confusing to me in their current form. The first column, tasks, are basically mutually exclusive. But the third column is not; these are features of the population (e.g., you could have Black women web users as a condition for a dataset). The \"lines\" in this diagram therefore don't seem like a complete way of specifying a scenario.\n\nMinor changes:\n\np5. prompt decomposition should be followed by citep not citet. Same with Welbl on p20 and Persily on p21.\n\nSection 5.1: \"To measure a model's understanding of the English language\" -- \"understanding\" is a very loaded term. I recognize that the rest of this paragraph clarifies exactly what is meant here.  But I still might soften or rephrase this.\n\np42. \"AI Labs\" -> \"AI21 Labs\"\n\np49. I think this graph is a bit confusing. The caption should make it clear that this is the max accuracy (SOTA) over all previous models up to that timestep.

Author rebuttal:

Meta-review: This paper presents a truly holistic evaluation for large language models (a "first of its kind study in terms of scope" as one reviewer put it), proposing several axes along along which the research community can benchmark them. The authors perform extensive experiments with state-of-the-art LMs (both open-source and closed ones) and present a large array of core findings ranging from issues like memorization, toxicity, to the relationships between robustness, fairness and accuracy. As noted by the reviewers, the claims made by the paper are convincingly supported in the experiments. The authors also revised the paper following reviewer suggestions in order to make the paper easier to navigate. I'm confident this will paper will serve as a key reference for future research into the design and evaluation of LLMs in terms of both concrete findings and the general methodologies proposed. Given its comprehensiveness and usefulness to the community, I also recommend a Featured Certification.
