This is the Digital Socrates 7B (DS-7B) model described in our paper: Digital Socrates: Evaluating LLMs through explanation critiques (ACL Anthology link: https://aclanthology.org/2024.acl-long.302, arXiv link: https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.09613).
The recommended, better performing 13B model can be found at https://huggingface.co/allenai/digital-socrates-13b
The DS-7B model is a fine-tuned version of Llama-2-7b-Chat, please review its guidelines and licensing before use.
What is Digital Socrates?
Digital Socrates is an open-source, automatic explanation-critiquing model. It is useful for revealing insights about student models by examining their reasoning chains. The use of Digital Socrates allows for nuanced, interpretable automatic evaluation of explanations without expensive API calls or human annotations.
While LLMs can provide reasoned explanations along with their answers, the nature and quality of those explanations are still poorly understood. In response, our goal is to define a detailed way of characterizing the explanation capabilities of modern models and to create a nuanced, interpretable explanation evaluation tool that can generate such characterizations automatically.
Given a question (together with the multiple-choice options and gold answer),
When Dennis operates his lawnmower, he notices the engine makes a lot of noise. He also notices that the engine gets very hot. Which best describes the heat and noise generated from the lawnmower?
(A) a change in phase
(B) thermal expansion
(C) an increase in entropy
(D) mechanical advantage
Answer sheet: (C)
as well as a student model explanation and answer,
1) The question states that the lawnmower engine makes a lot of noise.
2) The question states that the lawnmower engine gets very hot.
3) Noise and heat are both forms of energy.
4) The noise and heat generated from the lawnmower are a result of the conversion of energy from the fuel to mechanical energy.
Answer: (D)
Digital Socrates gives a critique of the model-generated explanation that provides localized feedback on the most significant flaw (if any) in the explanation, suggestions to address the identified flaw, as well as a numeric rating indicating the explanation quality:
The explanation states or suggests the following:
* Main flaw (standalone statement): "The noise and heat generated from the lawnmower are a result of the conversion of energy from the fuel to mechanical energy."
* Dimension: incorrect_information
Consider these points for revising the explanation:
* General: Remember that noise and heat are not forms of energy. They are byproducts of energy conversion.
* Specific: In this case, the noise and heat generated by the lawnmower are not a result of the conversion of energy from the fuel to mechanical energy. They are byproducts of the combustion process.
Explanation score: 2
Remarkably, despite being orders of magnitude smaller than GPT-4, our Digital Socrates models are capable of generating critiques close to GPT-4 critiques in terms of human rating and other quantitative measures (correlation of explanation scores given and error category matches). Through quantitative and qualitative analysis, we demonstrate how Digital Socrates is useful for revealing insights about student models by examining their reasoning chains.
