Choose CommonGen-Eval if…
- Requirements: Install Python dependencies using `pip install -r requirements.txt`; Download necessary Spacy models with `python -m spacy download en_core_web_lg`.
- Tags unique to CommonGen-Eval: evaluation, llm-evaluation.
- Use CommonGen-Eval when you need to assess how well an LLM can generate a diverse set of common-sense facts or statements based on given concepts.
When NOT to use CommonGen-Eval
- Avoid using CommonGen-Eval if your evaluation priorities align more closely with task-specific benchmarks outside of general-language diversification.
- Do not use this tool if your project requires an evaluation framework that focuses heavily on the ability to answer specific factual questions or handle domain-specific language.
Choose bigcode-evaluation-harness if…
- Requirements: Users must have Docker installed to leverage the isolated execution environments for model output evaluation..
- Tags unique to bigcode-evaluation-harness: autoregressive-models, code-generation, docker, python.
- bigcode-evaluation-harness ships Docker support for self-hosted deployment.
- When you need to isolate the evaluation environment from your local development setup, ensuring that no external variables affect the outcomes of model performance assessments.
When NOT to use bigcode-evaluation-harness
- When you require real-time evaluation without the overhead of generating outputs locally and then evaluating them within isolated environments via Docker.
- If your model's evaluation process does not necessitate autoregressive setup or the security features provided by Docker, using bigcode-evaluation-harness might introduce unnecessary complexity.
