EQ-Bench

Overview

EQ-Bench is a benchmark for evaluating language models on emotional intelligence tasks. It assesses the ability to predict likely emotional responses of characters in dialogues by rating the intensity of possible emotional reactions.

Task Description

Task Type: Emotional Intelligence Assessment
Input: Dialogue scenario with characters
Output: Emotion intensity ratings in specific format
Domains: Emotional understanding, social cognition

Key Features

Tests ability to predict emotional responses in conversations
Requires rating intensity of multiple possible emotions
Uses official EQ-Bench v2 scoring algorithm
Scoring includes sigmoid scaling for small differences
Adjustment constant ensures random answers score 0

Evaluation Notes

Default evaluation uses the validation split
Primary metric: EQ-Bench Score (0-100 scale, reported as 0-1)
Uses zero-shot evaluation (no few-shot examples)
Responses must include emotion ratings in specific JSON-like format

Usage

Using CLI

evalscope eval \
    --model YOUR_MODEL \
    --api-url OPENAI_API_COMPAT_URL \
    --api-key EMPTY_TOKEN \
    --datasets eq_bench \
    --limit 10  # Remove this line for formal evaluation

Using Python

from evalscope import run_task
from evalscope.config import TaskConfig

task_cfg = TaskConfig(
    model='YOUR_MODEL',
    api_url='OPENAI_API_COMPAT_URL',
    api_key='EMPTY_TOKEN',
    datasets=['eq_bench'],
    limit=10,  # Remove this line for formal evaluation
)

run_task(task_cfg=task_cfg)
