The Automatic Evaluation of LLMs (AEOLLM) task is a new core task in NTCIR-18 to support in-depth research on large language models (LLMs) evaluation.
🔍 As LLMs grow popular in both fields of academia and industry, how to effectively evaluate the capacity of LLMs becomes an increasingly critical but still challenging issue.
⚖️ Existing methods can be divided into two types: manual evaluation, which is expensive, and automatic evaluation, which faces many limitations including the task format (the majority belong to multiple-choice questions) and evaluation criteria (occupied by reference-based metrics).
💡 To advance the innovation of automatic evaluation, we proposed the Automatic Evaluation of LLMs (AEOLLM) task which focuses on generative tasks and encourages reference-free methods. Besides, we set up diverse subtasks such as summary generation, non-factoid question answering, text expansion, and dialogue generation to comprehensively test different methods.
🚀 We believe that the AEOLLM task will facilitate the development of the LLMs community.
First, we choose four subtasks as shown in the table below:
| Task | Description | Dataset |
|---|---|---|
| Summary Generation (SG) | write a summary for the specified text | XSum: over 226k news articles |
| Non-Factoid QA (NFQA) | construct long-form answers to open-ended non-factoid questions | NF_CATS: 12k non-factoid questions |
| Text Expansion (TE) | given a theme, participants need to generate stories related to the theme | WritingPrompts: 303k story themes |
| Dialogue Generation (DG) | generate human-like responses to numerous topics in daily conversation contexts | DailyDialog: 13k daily conversation contexts |
Second, we choose a series of popular LLMs during the competition to generate answers.
Third, we manually annotate the answer sets for each question, which will be used as gold standards for evaluating the performance of different evaluation methods.
Last, we will collect evaluation results from participants and calculate consistency with manually annotated results. We will use Accuracy, Kendall’s tau and Spearman correlation coefficient as the evaluation metrics.

""") st.header("Human Annotation") st.markdown(""" - For each instance (question-answer pair), we employed human annotators to provide a score ranging from 1 to 5 and took the median of these scores as the final score. - Based on this score, we calculated the rankings of the 7 answers for each question.
