Evaluating instruction following on more user-oriented data

To better access the practical value of instruction-following models, we curated a set of tasks and their instructions motivated by user-oriented applications (rather than well-studied NLP tasks). We aim to diversify the styles and formats of these tasks (e.g., instructions may be long or short; input/output may take the form of bullet points, tables, codes, equations, etc.). In total, we create 252 instructions with 1 instance per instruction. This data is used in the human evaluation section of the self-instruct paper.

We open-source this evluation set here for the ease of evaluation and inspiration of future work on creating more comprehensive evaluation. Please don't hack this evaluation set and don't use it for any training purpose!

The files in the ./predictions folder contain models' responses to these 252 instructions. Since these tasks indeed require a broad range of expertise and many of them are open-ended, we are still working on finding better ways for do automatic evaluation or systematic human evaluation. We will release the interface once it's finalized. Other ideas on better evaluating models' instruction-following capabilities are also super welcome!
