Abstract
The emergence of foundation models and generalist AI systems has transformed the landscape of evaluation, introducing complex challenges that go far beyond the closed-domain settings of the past. This reading group aims to explore cutting-edge approaches for assessing these open-domain systems, with an emphasis on both technical evaluation strategies and evolving regulatory frameworks. We will begin by examining the unique difficulties of evaluating open-domain models, considering possible solutions and highlighting the risks of metric manipulation by resourceful actors. Next, we will discuss the methodologies employed by frontier labs for internal evaluation, as well as the interplay between technical validation and policy-driven oversight. Finally, we will explore evaluation in the context of human-machine collaboration, analyzing the challenges of measuring performance and alignment in systems with humans in the loop.
Series This talk is part of the Machine Learning Reading Group @ CUED series.
