数据集介绍

构建方式

Multi-task Spatial Evaluation Dataset (MSED) was meticulously crafted to appraise the proficiency of large language models (LLMs) in spatial tasks. The dataset encompasses twelve distinct task types, including spatial understanding, path planning, and more, each with verified, accurate answers. The construction process involved a team of experts determining the types of questions to include, based on six key dimensions: conceptual topics, explanatory subjects, intellectual topics, operational problems, inference problems, and applied problems. The questions were designed to reflect real-world application needs and were sourced from various academic papers and online resources such as Wikipedia. The dataset was then rigorously reviewed and validated to ensure accuracy and practicality.

特点

The MSED is characterized by its comprehensiveness, covering a wide range of spatial tasks that evaluate LLMs' abilities in understanding and manipulating spatial configurations, planning optimal routes, recognizing geographic entities, and more. It also includes a diverse set of questions, from rare and complex to more straightforward, ensuring a thorough assessment of LLMs' capabilities. The dataset is structured into twelve distinct task categories, each with specific question examples, providing a clear framework for evaluation. Additionally, the MSED introduces a new metric, Weighted Accuracy (WA), which assigns different weights to the scores of each response to accurately reflect the importance and difficulty of the tasks, offering a more nuanced assessment of model performance.

使用方法

The MSED is utilized through a two-phase testing approach. Initially, a zero-shot test is conducted to evaluate the models' initial performance without any prompt tuning. Following this, the dataset is categorized by difficulty, and prompt tuning tests are performed using various strategies such as One-shot, Combined Techniques Prompt, Chain of Thought (CoT), and Zero-shot-CoT. To ensure the rigor and reproducibility of the experimental process, an automated script is developed for standardizing the answer collection process, interacting with the models using text input only and adhering to a single-turn dialogue mode. The dataset is evaluated using accuracy statistics and qualitative analysis, with human reviewers playing a crucial role in the scoring process, especially for partially correct answers. The MSED provides a systematic and comprehensive benchmark to test the performance of different LLMs on various spatial tasks, allowing for a thorough assessment of their capabilities and limitations.

背景与挑战

背景概述

随着大型语言模型如ChatGPT、Gemini等的出现，对其多样能力的评估变得尤为重要，包括自然语言理解、代码生成等。然而，这些模型在空间任务上的性能尚未得到全面评估。本研究通过引入一个新的多任务空间评估数据集，旨在系统地探索和比较多个先进模型在空间任务上的性能。该数据集包含12种不同的任务类型，包括空间理解和路径规划，每个任务类型都有经过验证的准确答案。研究评估了多个模型，包括OpenAI的gpt-3.5-turbo、gpt-4o和ZhipuAI的glm-4，通过两阶段的测试方法。首先进行零样本测试，然后将数据集按难度分类并进行提示调整测试。结果显示，gpt-4o在第一阶段中实现了最高的总体准确率，平均为71.3%。尽管moonshot-v1-8k的整体表现略低，但在地名识别任务中超过了gpt-4o。研究还强调了提示策略对特定任务中模型性能的影响。例如，Chain-of-Thought (COT)策略将gpt-4o在路径规划中的准确率从12.4%提高到87.5%，而单次策略将moonshot-v1-8k在绘图任务中的准确率从10.1%提高到76.3%。
