🔍 Staying updated with the latest in machine learning research, there are insights from a recent study by Lovish Madaan from GenAI, Meta, in partnership with researchers from Stanford University. This study focuses on understanding and quantifying variance in evaluation benchmarks for large language models. - Research goal: Investigate the variance in evaluation benchmarks and provide recommendations to mitigate its effects. - Research methodology: Researchers have analyzed 13 popular NLP benchmarks using over 280 models, including both publicly available models and custom-trained models, to measure different types of variance, such as seed variance and monotonicity during training. - Key findings: The study revealed significant variance in benchmark scores due to factors like random seed changes. Simple changes, such as framing choice tasks as completion tasks, reduced variance for smaller models, while traditional methods like item response theory were less effective. - Practical implications: These findings encourage practitioners to account for variance when comparing model performances and suggest techniques to reduce variance. This can be particularly beneficial in academic research, industry R&D, and any application involving the development and assessment of AI models.

This is a fantastic study and undoubtedly an aspect of LLM/NLP(U) that desperately needs more focus and attention... Now and in the future.
