This enables more realistic benchmarking of model behavior in real-world settings. - It introduces a hybrid labelling pipeline combining automatic keyword-level annotation via GPT-4 and human re-verification, ensuring scalable yet accurate hallucination detection which more fine-grained than typical sentence/document-level annotation. - The evaluation framework is notably broad, supporting three evaluation forms including: discriminative (detecting hallucinations), selective (choosing hallucination-free outputs), and generative (continuation from prompt), which allows multi-angle assessment of model robustness. - The benchmark is used to empirically evaluate 11 major LLMs (including 8 Chinese LLMs and 3 GPT models), revealing useful trends (e.g., GPT’s strong discriminative ability but weaker Chinese generative performance), and highlighting the ""seesaw"" effect between task types. - Overall, UHGEval sets a new standard for hallucination evaluation in low-resource languages (Chinese), with a modular, extensible toolkit that could be generalized to other languages and domains.","General Capability (A broadly useful ability, which could be relevant to multiple applications)",Hallucination / factual consistency in generation,Yes,"Hallucination occurs when LLMs produce content that is factually incorrect or unsupported by the source or real-world knowledge, especially in unrestricted, spontaneous generation settings.",Subset,Focuses on unconstrained hallucinations; contrasts with prior constrained‑prompt datasets,"(i) Given a continuation, decide if it contains hallucinations (discriminative); (ii) pick the hallucination‑free option from a pair (selective); or (iii) generate a continuation that avoids hallucination, later scored by reference metrics (generative).","One row contains: article ID, headline, date, type (DOC/KNO/NUM/GEN), newsBeginning, LLM‑generated hallucinatedContinuation, per‑keyword labels (reasonable / unreasonable), real continuation, and remaining article text.",,"Real task examples (e.g. GitHub issues), LLM-generated task examples (e.g. Filtered from responses to a prompt)","5,141",Yes,"news category (DOC/NUM/KNO/GEN), generation LLM, lengths, keyword counts","Convenience sample (creators found a set of tasks that was readily accessible), Specific criteria (items were taken from a larger set based on specified rules)","Short free response (e.g. single word or number), Free response (e.g. summary paragraph, executable code)","Exact Match (accuracy, F1, precision, recall), n-gram (BLEU, ROUGE, chrF), BertScore, kwPrec",,"News from major Chinese outlets (Jan 2015 – Jan 2017); five Chinese LLMs (ChatGLM2‑6B, Baichuan2‑13B, Qwen‑14B, InternLM‑20B, Xinyu‑7B) produce continuations; automatic ranking + GPT‑4 keyword labeling + human re‑check.",Academia,Yes,,"The paper acknowledges in Appendix G that there is a data skew due to an imbalance in the number of hallucinated continuations generated by the five LLMs, and it highlights this as an area for future work.",Test,,Discriminative/Selective expect “1/0” or chosen option; Generative expects unconstrained Chinese text.,Simple Mean,Yes,,,https://huggingface.co/datasets/Ki-Seki/UHGEvalDataset,UHGEval,Contested,Yes,Yes,Yes,No,,The benchmark is itself realistic,No,Yes,"Authors describe automatic‑plus‑manual labelling pipeline, double‑checked subsets, and identify remaining noise as limitation.",Mean,Outputs alone,Partial real task (e.g. answering medical questions collected from real people),Models must handle real news beginnings but hallucinations are induced by LLM continuations rather than reporters.,Single cohesive phenomenon,Not applicable,,,Language Modelling,Hallucination,,General Capability,Hallucination,"['Real task', 'LLM-generated']","['Convenience', 'Criterion']","['Short free response', 'Free response']","['Exact match', 'Soft match', 'Soft match']",['Contested'],['Yes'],['Yes'],['Realistic'],['Yes'],['Partial'],['Mean'] diaoDoolittleBenchmarksCorpora2023,Doolittle: Benchmarks and Corpora for Academic Writing Formalization,Include,,,"The paper introduces Academic Writing Formalization (AWF), a paragraph‑level text‑refinement task that converts informal‑academic prose into formal‑academic prose, going beyond grammatical error correction to include word choice and structural improvements.

So 67 is not the correct answer. Step 2: Check Choice B (43) When 43 is divided by 4, the remainder is 1. When 43 is divided by 3, the remainder is 1. When 43 is divided by 5, the remainder is 3, not 2. So 43 is not the correct answer. Step 3: Check Choice C (57) When 57 is divided by 4, the remainder is 1. When 57 is divided by 3, the remainder is 0, not 1. So 57 is not the correct answer. Step 4: Check Choice D (37) When 37 is divided by 4, the remainder is 1. When 37 is divided by 3, the remainder is 1. When 37 is divided by 5, the remainder is 2. Step 5: Choice D (37) satisfies all the requirements and is the correct answer. Solution: Choice D Solution: Choice D —————————————- Human Annotation ————————————— Model Solution Correctness: incorrect Model Solution First Error Step: Step 2 Model Solution Error Reason: The model’s calculation is incorrect. In step 2, the model incorrectly calculated the remainder of 43 divided by 4 as 1 instead of 3. The model assumes that when 43 is divided by 4, the remainder is 1, but it should be 3. There is a miscalculation of the remainder here. Model Solution Rectified First Error Step: Step 2: Check option B (43): When 43 is divided by 4, the remainder is 3, not 1. When 43 is divided by 3, the remainder is 1. When 43 is divided by 5, the remainder is 3, not 2. Therefore, 43 is not the correct answer. ————————————-Model Evaluation Result———————————— Evaluated Model: gpt-4-turbo Evaluation Raw Response: Solution Analysis: Step 1: The step checks the remainder when 67 is divided by 4 and finds that it yields a remainder of 3, not 1. This is a correct verification based on the criteria specified in the question. Step 2: Checks the remainder of 43 when divided by 4, 3, and 5. The findings (1, 1, and 3 respectively) are verified correctly and match the expected remainders except for the one with 5, correctly identifying that the condition is not met for division by 5. Step 3: The step calculates the remainders for 57 being divided by 4 and 3. The remainder when divided by 3 does not match the specified conditions (expected was 1, result was 0). Hence, the claim that 57 isn’t correct is valid. Step 4 and Step 5: Computes and verifies the remainders for 37 when divided by 4, 3, and 5, matching all the expected remainders accurately, and concludes that 37 meets all conditions specified in the problem.
