Imagine an Olympiad where the athletes are not humans, but artificial intelligences, each vying to showcase their prowess. 

This is the realm of Language Models like GPT-4, where tests like MMLU, HellaSwag, and ARC are not mere evaluations but battlegrounds that challenge their limits. 

These tests, each a riddle wrapped in an enigma, push AI to its boundaries and beyond. 

Are they simply tough exams, or do they unravel the very fabric of AI learning and reasoning?

Let’s dive into this world of AI trials, decoding the secrets behind these formidable tests.

Let’s take a look at 7 tests and how they actually work:

• MMLU

• HellaSwag

• AI2 Reasoning

• Challenge (ARC)

• WinoGrande

• HumanEval

• DROP

• GSM-8K 

1. MMLU (Massive Multitask Language Understanding)

• Developer: Facebook AI Research

• Purpose: Evaluates understanding across diverse subjects and languages.

• Example Questions:

  • Literature: “Which author wrote about a dystopian future in ‘1984’?”

  • History: “What was the main cause of World War I?”

  • Science: “What is the process of water turning into ice called?”

  • Geography: “Which river is known as the longest in the world?”

2. HellaSwag

• Developer: AI2 (Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence)

• Purpose: Tests commonsense reasoning with story prediction.

• Example Questions:

  • “A man plants a seed. What will likely happen next: 

    • a) It snows 

    • b) The seed grows into a plant 

    • c) A car passes by”

  • “A cat chases a mouse. What will likely happen next:

    •  a) The mouse turns into a cat 

    • b) The cat catches the mouse”

3. AI2 Reasoning Challenge (ARC)

• Developer: AI2

• Purpose: Assesses reasoning in grade-school level science.

• Example Questions:

  • “Why is the sky blue during the day but not at night?”

  • “What gas do plants breathe in that humans breathe out?”

4. WinoGrande

• Developer: AI2

• Purpose: Challenges AI in common sense reasoning, focusing on ambiguity.

• Example Questions:

  • “Alex put his lunch in the fridge to keep it cold. ‘It’ refers to: 

    • a) The fridge 

    • b) The lunch”

  • “Sam borrowed a book from Emma. ‘She’ is excited to read it. ‘She’ refers to: 

    • a) Emma 

    • b) Sam”

5. HumanEval

• Developer: OpenAI

• Purpose: Evaluates coding and problem-solving skills.

• Example Questions:

  • “Write a function that returns the sum of two numbers.”

  • “Create a function that reverses a string.”

6. DROP (Discrete Reasoning Over Paragraphs)

• Developer: Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence

• Purpose: Tests reading comprehension and discrete reasoning.

• Example Questions:

  • “A paragraph describes a soccer game. Question: How many goals were scored in total?”

  • “If a train departs at 3 PM and arrives at 7 PM, how long was the journey?”

7. GSM-8K (Grade School Math 8K)

• Developer: OpenAI

• Purpose: Assesses mathematical reasoning and problem-solving.

• Example Questions:

  • “If you buy 3 apples for $1.50, how much does one apple cost?”

  • “What is the area of a rectangle with a length of 5cm and a width of 3cm?”

The gauntlet of tests like MMLU, HellaSwag, ARC, and others is more than a measure of GPT-4’s abilities; they are a testament to the evolving intelligence and versatility of AI. 

Each test, with its unique challenges, not only pushes AI to its limits but also opens our eyes to the vast potential and adaptability of these technologies.

In understanding these tests, we gain insights into the future of AI, a future where AI’s application and integration into our lives are limited only by the boundaries of human creativity and innovation.
