~75% on the challenging GPQA with only 40M parameters ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿฅณ

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, itโ€™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 !

Cheers to the heroes here who see this!

Apparently i forgot to put this here !

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.

Give it a read and let me know your thoughts ๐Ÿค—

Unpopular opinion : o1-preview is more stupid than 4o and Qwen2.5-72B-Instruct in extremely underrated !

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 ๐—˜๐—ฉ๐—”๐—Ÿ๐—จ๐—”๐—ง๐—œ๐—ข๐—ก from basics to advanced tips.

I havenโ€™t finished it yet, but i'am enjoying every piece of it so far. Huge thanks @clefourrier and the team for this invaluable resource !

Why nobdoy is talking about the new training corpus released by MBZUAI today.

TxT360 is +15 Trillion tokens corpus outperforming FineWeb on several metrics. Ablation studies were done up to 1T tokens.

๐Ÿ”— Evaluating Long Context #1: Long Range Arena (LRA)

Accurately evaluating how well language models handle long contexts is crucial, but it's also quite challenging to do well. In this series of posts, we're going to examine the various benchmarks that were proposed to assess long context understanding, starting with Long Range Arens (LRA)

Introduced in 2020, Long Range Arens (LRA) is one of the earliest benchmarks designed to tackle the challenge of long context evaluation.

๐Ÿ“Œ Key Features of LRA

1๏ธโƒฃ Diverse Tasks: The LRA benchmark consists of a suite of tasks designed to evaluate model performance on long sequences ranging from 1,000 to 16,000 tokens. These tasks encompass different data types and modalities: Text, Natural and Synthetic Images, and Mathematical Expressions.

2๏ธโƒฃ Synthetic and Real-world Tasks: LRA is comprised of both synthetic probing tasks and real-world tasks.

3๏ธโƒฃ Open-Source and Extensible: Implemented in Python using Jax and Flax, the LRA benchmark code is publicly available, making it easy to extend.

๐Ÿ“Œ Tasks

1๏ธโƒฃ Long ListOps

2๏ธโƒฃ Byte-level Text Classification and Document Retrieval

3๏ธโƒฃ Image Classification

4๏ธโƒฃ Pathfinder and Pathfinder-X (Long-range spatial dependency)

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.

We need a fork feature for models and datasets similar to "Duplicate this space" in spaces ! Don't you think ?

Sometimes you just want to save something in your profile privately and work on it later without the hassle of "load_.../push_to_hub" in a code file.

I know this is super lazy ๐Ÿ˜… But it is what it is ...
