研究探讨了使用本地大语言模型作为自动评委时,尽管这些模型评分自洽性高,但与人类评分的一致性较低的问题。通过对比LLaMA-3-8B和Qwen2.5-7B对GPT-2生成的回答进行评分的结果,发现需同时评估模型的一致性和与人类评分的匹配度。
📝 Abstract
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used to evaluate the responses of other language models. This approach, known as LLM-as-a-Judge, is faster and cheaper than human evaluation. However, a judge may produce consistent scores without necessarily agreeing with human evaluators. In this work, we study this issue using two local open-weight LLM judges, LLaMA-3-8B and Qwen2.5-7B. We evaluate 300 responses generated by an instruction-tuned GPT-2 (124M) model for 100 questions covering five categories: factual knowledge, instruction following, mathematics, reasoning, and writing. Each response is scored by nine human annotators and is evaluated three times by each LLM judge using the same rubric. We compare the judge scores with the average human scores using Pearson correlation, Spearman correlation, mean absolute error (MAE), signed bias, and self-consistency. LLaMA-3-8B shows a Pearson correlation of 0.275 with human scores, while Qwen2.5-7B achieves 0.340. Their MAEs are 27.71 and 18.64, respectively. Despite this limited agreement, both judges show high self-consistency, with exact consistency rates of 97.3\% for LLaMA-3-8B and 92.3\% for Qwen2.5-7B. These results show that high self-consistency does not necessarily indicate high agreement with human judgments. Our findings highlight the need to evaluate both consistency and human alignment when using local LLMs as automatic judges.
