📝 Introduction

EvalScope is the official model evaluation and performance benchmarking framework launched by the ModelScope community. It comes with built-in common benchmarks and evaluation metrics, such as MMLU, CMMLU, C-Eval, GSM8K, ARC, HellaSwag, TruthfulQA, MATH, and HumanEval. EvalScope supports various types of model evaluations, including LLMs, multimodal LLMs, embedding models, and reranker models. It is also applicable to multiple evaluation scenarios, such as end-to-end RAG evaluation, arena mode, and model inference performance stress testing. Moreover, with the seamless integration of the ms-swift training framework, evaluations can be initiated with a single click, providing full end-to-end support from model training to evaluation 🚀

EvalScope Framework.

The architecture includes the following modules:

1. Model Adapter: The model adapter is used to convert the outputs of specific models into the format required by the framework, supporting both API call models and locally run models.
2. Data Adapter: The data adapter is responsible for converting and processing input data to meet various evaluation needs and formats.
3. Evaluation Backend:
   • Native: EvalScope’s own default evaluation framework, supporting various evaluation modes, including single model evaluation, arena mode, baseline model comparison mode, etc.
   • OpenCompass: Supports OpenCompass as the evaluation backend, providing advanced encapsulation and task simplification, allowing you to submit tasks for evaluation more easily.
   • VLMEvalKit: Supports VLMEvalKit as the evaluation backend, enabling easy initiation of multi-modal evaluation tasks, supporting various multi-modal models and datasets.
   • RAGEval: Supports RAG evaluation, supporting independent evaluation of embedding models and rerankers using MTEB/CMTEB, as well as end-to-end evaluation using RAGAS.
   • ThirdParty: Other third-party evaluation tasks, such as ToolBench.
4. Performance Evaluator: Model performance evaluation, responsible for measuring model inference service performance, including performance testing, stress testing, performance report generation, and visualization.
5. Evaluation Report: The final generated evaluation report summarizes the model's performance, which can be used for decision-making and further model optimization.
6. Visualization: Visualization results help users intuitively understand evaluation results, facilitating analysis and comparison of different model performances.

🛠️ Installation

Method 1: Install Using pip

We recommend using conda to manage your environment and installing dependencies with pip:

1. Create a conda environment (optional)

   # It is recommended to use Python 3.10
   conda create -n evalscope python=3.10
   # Activate the conda environment
   conda activate evalscope

2. Install dependencies using pip

   pip install evalscope                # Install Native backend (default)
   # Additional options

   pip install evalscope[all]           # Install all backends (Native, OpenCompass, VLMEvalKit)

Warning

As the project has been renamed to evalscope, for versions v0.4.3 or earlier, you can install using the following command:

pip install llmuses<=0.4.3

To import relevant dependencies using llmuses:

from llmuses import ...

Method 2: Install from Source

1. Download the source code

   git clone https://github.com/modelscope/evalscope.git

2. Install dependencies

   cd evalscope/
   pip install -e .                  # Install Native backend
   # Additional options
   pip install -e '.[opencompass]'   # Install OpenCompass backend

   pip install -e '.[all]'           # Install all backends (Native, OpenCompass, VLMEvalKit)

🚀 Quick Start

1. Simple Evaluation

To evaluate a model using default settings on specified datasets, follow the process below:

Install using pip

You can execute this command from any directory:

python -m evalscope.run \
 --model qwen/Qwen2-0.5B-Instruct \
 --template-type qwen \
 --datasets arc 

Install from source

Execute this command in the evalscope directory:

python evalscope/run.py \
 --model qwen/Qwen2-0.5B-Instruct \
 --template-type qwen \
 --datasets arc

If prompted with Do you wish to run the custom code? [y/N], please type y.

Basic Parameter Descriptions

• --model: Specifies the model_id of the model on ModelScope, allowing automatic download. For example, see the Qwen2-0.5B-Instruct model link; you can also use a local path, such as /path/to/model.
• --template-type: Specifies the template type corresponding to the model. Refer to the Default Template field in the template table for filling in this field.
• --datasets: The dataset name, allowing multiple datasets to be specified, separated by spaces; these datasets will be automatically downloaded. Refer to the supported datasets list for available options.

2. Parameterized Evaluation

If you wish to conduct a more customized evaluation, such as modifying model parameters or dataset parameters, you can use the following commands:

Example 1:

python evalscope/run.py \
 --model qwen/Qwen2-0.5B-Instruct \
 --template-type qwen \
 --model-args revision=master,precision=torch.float16,device_map=auto \
 --datasets gsm8k ceval \
 --use-cache true \
 --limit 10

Example 2:

python evalscope/run.py \
 --model qwen/Qwen2-0.5B-Instruct \
 --template-type qwen \
 --generation-config do_sample=false,temperature=0.0 \
 --datasets ceval \
 --dataset-args '{"ceval": {"few_shot_num": 0, "few_shot_random": false}}' \
 --limit 10

Parameter Descriptions

In addition to the three basic parameters, the other parameters are as follows:

• --model-args: Model loading parameters, separated by commas, in key=value format.
• --generation-config: Generation parameters, separated by commas, in key=value format.
  • do_sample: Whether to use sampling, default is false.
  • max_new_tokens: Maximum generation length, default is 1024.
  • temperature: Sampling temperature.
  • top_p: Sampling threshold.
  • top_k: Sampling threshold.
• --use-cache: Whether to use local cache, default is false. If set to true, previously evaluated model and dataset combinations will not be evaluated again, and will be read directly from the local cache.
• --dataset-args: Evaluation dataset configuration parameters, provided in JSON format, where the key is the dataset name and the value is the parameter; note that these must correspond one-to-one with the values in --datasets.
  • --few_shot_num: Number of few-shot examples.
  • --few_shot_random: Whether to randomly sample few-shot data; if not specified, defaults to true.
• --limit: Maximum number of evaluation samples per dataset; if not specified, all will be evaluated, which is useful for quick validation.

3. Use the run_task Function to Submit an Evaluation Task

Using the run_task function to submit an evaluation task requires the same parameters as the command line. You need to pass a dictionary as the parameter, which includes the following fields:

1. Configuration Task Dictionary Parameters

import torch
from evalscope.constants import DEFAULT_ROOT_CACHE_DIR

# Example
your_task_cfg = {
        'model_args': {'revision': None, 'precision': torch.float16, 'device_map': 'auto'},
        'generation_config': {'do_sample': False, 'repetition_penalty': 1.0, 'max_new_tokens': 512},
        'dataset_args': {},
        'dry_run': False,
        'model': 'qwen/Qwen2-0.5B-Instruct',
        'template_type': 'qwen',
        'datasets': ['arc', 'hellaswag'],
        'work_dir': DEFAULT_ROOT_CACHE_DIR,
        'outputs': DEFAULT_ROOT_CACHE_DIR,
        'mem_cache': False,
        'dataset_hub': 'ModelScope',
        'dataset_dir': DEFAULT_ROOT_CACHE_DIR,
        'limit': 10,
        'debug': False
    }

Here, DEFAULT_ROOT_CACHE_DIR is set to '~/.cache/evalscope'.

2. Execute Task with run_task

from evalscope.run import run_task
run_task(task_cfg=your_task_cfg)
