In GPT-4o's Memory Breakthrough – Needle in a Needlestack
As far as I can tell, this study was almost entirely about fiction: https://github.com/mungg/FABLES/blob/main/booklist.md lists 26 books, only one of which is classified as non-fiction. I would imagine that summaries of non-fiction books are evaluated quite differently from summaries of fiction. I've been trying to figure out what prompts they used. The https://github.com/mungg/FABLES GitHub repo says this: Summary -- (str) Entire book summarized by one of five models: Mixtral, GPT-3.5-Turbo, GPT-4, GPT-4-Turbo, and Claude-3-Opus, using the hierarchical merging method described in Chang et al.. With a link to https://arxiv.org/pdf/2310.00785.pdf - which then links to another GitHub repository, https://github.com/lilakk/BooookScore which has a bunch of prompts in https://github.com/lilakk/BooookScore/tree/main/prompts
Read the rest
Which makes me think that this original paper isn't evaluating LLMs so much as it's evaluating that one particular prompting technique for long summaries. Gemini Pro 1.5 has 1 million token context length, which should remove the need for weird hierarchical summary tricks. I wonder how well it would score?
In Evaluating faithfulness and content selection of LLMs in book-length summaries
