MMLU

Massive Multitask Language Understanding: four-option multiple-choice questions on 57 subjects.

The 19 MMLU subjects of the standard Hendrycks STEM grouping: abstract algebra, anatomy, astronomy, college biology, chemistry, computer science, mathematics and physics, computer security, conceptual physics, electrical engineering, elementary mathematics, high school biology, chemistry, computer science, mathematics, physics and statistics, and machine learning.

Differs between subsets

The metric on the benchmark items of the subset differs from its value on the items of the comparison_subset.

English-minus-Polish accuracy gap

A model's likelihood multiple-choice accuracy on the English items minus its accuracy on the Polish versions of the same items, over the same item pairs.
