In the field of natural language processing, large language models perform exceptionally well on complex tasks, but model evaluation heavily relies on expensive and time-consuming human-annotated data. As models advance, the utility of existing data declines, necessitating the continuous collection of new data for scalable and sustainable evaluation. The Meta FAIR research team has proposed the 'Self-Taught Evaluator' to address this issue. This innovative approach trains on synthetic data, eliminating the need for human annotation by generating contrasting synthetic preferences.
