Contributions:24 commits, 35 pushes, 7 comments in 2 years 6 months
Contributions summary:Hongyu contributed to the graph machine learning benchmark repository by fixing bugs in the evaluation code, adding example code for a knowledge graph (KG) application, and updating logging information. The contributions include modifications to an evaluation metric and adding example code related to a specific dataset, demonstrating an involvement in the model development and evaluation processes. The user also updated examples for the wikikg dataset, suggesting the user worked with the model implementations and evaluating their performance on various datasets.
Holistic Evaluation of Language Models (HELM), a framework to increase the transparency of language models (https://arxiv.org/abs/2211.09110). This framework is also used to evaluate text-to-image models in HEIM (https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.04287) and vision-language models in VHELM (https://arxiv.org/abs/2410.07112).

Contributions summary:Hongyu contributed to the development and evaluation of language models within the HELM framework, specifically focusing on the Wiki scenario. They added a fact completion scenario, updated it to account for train/dev/test splits and different predicates, and integrated automatic data downloading. The user also modified the test and run specifications to incorporate the new Wiki scenario and adjust evaluation parameters, demonstrating a focus on model evaluation and testing.
