Research Paper
Core Innovation
This paper introduces EffiEval, a training-free evaluation method that maximizes capability coverage to reduce redundant data in benchmarking large language models. It uses the Model Utility Index to adaptively select representative subsets, ensuring fairness and generalizability across datasets and model families. This approach maintains strong ranking consistency with significantly less data compared to traditional evaluation methods.

Research Paper Overview
EffiEval: Efficient and Generalizable Model Evaluation via Capability Coverage Maximization
Summary
EffiEval is a training-free method for efficient benchmarking of large language models that reduces data redundancy while maintaining evaluation reliability. It ensures representativeness by covering diverse model capabilities, fairness by avoiding performance bias in sample selection, and generalizability by enabling transfer across datasets and model families without large-scale data. It adaptively selects representative subsets using the Model Utility Index, achieving strong ranking consistency with only a fraction of the data and allowing flexible trade-offs between efficiency and coverage.
