Beyond the Imitation Game collaborative benchmark for measuring and extrapolating the capabilities of language models
Role in this project:
ML Engineer
Contributions:2 reviews, 41 commits, 19 PRs in 1 year
Contributions summary:Evgenii primarily contributed to the development and improvement of the Abstraction and Reasoning Corpus (ARC) benchmark task within the Google BIG-bench repository. Their work included adding the ARC task, incorporating an edit-distance-based metric, and fixing issues related to example count calculations and task descriptions. Further contributions involved adding the 1-shot setting to the task and making the scaling plots runnable in colab, which suggests model evaluation and analysis. These changes indicate a focus on evaluating and refining the ARC task's functionality and evaluation capabilities within the BIG-bench framework.
