~75% on the challenging GPQA with only 40M parameters 🔥🥳
GREAT ACHIEVEMENT ! Or is it ?
This new Work, "Data Laundering: Artificially Boosting Benchmark Results through Knowledge Distillation", take out the mystery about many models i personally suspected their results. Speacially on leaderboards other than the english one, Like the Open Arabic LLM Leaderbaord OALL/Open-Arabic-LLM-Leaderboard.
The authors of this work, first started by training a model on the GPQA data, which, unsurprisingly, led to the model achieving 100% performance.
Afterward, they trained what they referred to as a 'legitimate' model on legitimate data (MedMCQA). However, they introduced a distillation loss from the earlier, 'cheated' model.
What they discovered was fascinating: the knowledge of GPQA leaked through this distillation loss, even though the legitimate model was never explicitly trained on GPQA during this stage.
This raises important questions about the careful use of distillation in model training, especially when the training data is opaque. As they demonstrated, it’s apparently possible to (intentionally or unintentionally) leak test data through this method.
Unpopular opinion: Open Source takes courage to do !
Not everyone is brave enough to release what they have done (the way they've done it) to the wild to be judged ! It really requires a high level of "knowing wth are you doing" ! It's kind of a super power !
Well, this is a bit late but consider given our recent blog a read if you are interested in Evaluation.
You don't have to be into Arabic NLP in order to read it, the main contribution we are introducing is a new evaluation measure for NLG. We made the fisrt application of this measure on Arabic for now and we will be working with colleagues from the community to expand it to other languages.
I feel like this incredible resource hasn't gotten the attention it deserves in the community!
@clefourrier and generally the HuggingFace evaluation team put together a fantastic guidebook covering a lot about 𝗘𝗩𝗔𝗟𝗨𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 from basics to advanced tips.
Don't you think we should add a tag "Evaluation" for datasets that are meant to be benchmarks and not for training ?
At least, when someone is collecting a group of datasets from an organization or let's say the whole hub can filter based on that tag and avoid somehow contaminating their "training" data.
@mariagrandury (SomosNLP) and team releases the Spanish leaderboard !!! It is impressive how they choosed to design this leaderboard and how it support 4 languages (all part of Spain ofc).
Are the servers down or what ? Am i the only one experiencing this error :
HfHubHTTPError: 500 Server Error: Internal Server Errorfor url: https://huggingface.co/api/datasets/...../)
Internal Error- We're working hard to fix this as soon as possible!
