The MMLU Benchmark, or Massive Multi-task Language Understanding, is an LLM evaluation test dataset split into a few-shot development set, a 1540-question validation set, and a 14079-question test set that measures text models’ multitask accuracy across 57 tasks like math, history, law, and computer science in zero-shot and few-shot settings to evaluate their world knowledge, problem-solving skills, and limitations.
The MMLU Benchmark is a widely used evaluation tool for language models to test their abilities in various tasks beyond language understanding, such as math, history, law, and computer science. For instance, a language model can be tested on its ability to solve a mathematical problem or understand historical events by using the MMLU Benchmark.
