MMLU-Pro

Overview

MMLU-Pro is an enhanced version of MMLU with increased difficulty and reasoning requirements. It features 10 answer choices instead of 4 and includes more challenging questions requiring deeper reasoning across 14 diverse domains.

Task Description

  • Task Type: Multiple-Choice Question Answering (10 options)
  • Input: Question with up to 10 answer choices
  • Output: Single correct answer letter (A-J)
  • Domains: 14 subjects including science, law, engineering, psychology

Key Features

  • 10 answer choices per question (vs 4 in original MMLU)
  • More challenging questions requiring reasoning
  • Includes Chain-of-Thought (CoT) explanations
  • 14 diverse subjects covered
  • Reduced impact of random guessing (10% vs 25%)

Evaluation Notes

  • Default configuration uses 5-shot examples
  • Answers should follow "ANSWER: [LETTER]" format
  • Uses subject-specific few-shot examples
  • Step-by-step reasoning encouraged
  • Evaluates on test split with validation for few-shot

Usage

Using CLI

evalscope eval \
    --model YOUR_MODEL \
    --api-url OPENAI_API_COMPAT_URL \
    --api-key EMPTY_TOKEN \
    --datasets mmlu_pro \
    --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=['mmlu_pro'],
    dataset_args={
        'mmlu_pro': {
            # subset_list: ['computer science', 'math', 'chemistry']  # optional, evaluate specific subsets
        }
    },
    limit=10,  # Remove this line for formal evaluation
)
