C-Eval is a comprehensive Chinese evaluation suite for foundation models. It consists of 13948 multi-choice questions spanning 52 diverse disciplines and four difficulty levels, as shown below. Please visit our website or check our paper for more details.
We hope C-Eval could help developers track the progress and analyze the important strengths/shortcomings of their models.

Below are zero-shot and five-shot accuracies from the models that we evaluate in the initial release, please visit our official Leaderboard for up-to-date models and their detailed results on each subject. We note that zero-shot performance is better than five-shot for many instruction-tuned models.

C-Eval Hard Leaderboard
We select 8 challenging math, physics, and chemistry subjects from C-Eval to form a separate benchmark, C-Eval Hard, which includes advanced mathematics, discrete mathematics, probability and statistics, college chemistry, college physics, high school mathematics, high school chemistry, and high school physics. These subjects often involve with complex LaTeX equations and require non-trivial reasoning abilities to solve. Zero-shot and five-shot accuracies are shown below.

Results On Validation Split
Since we do not publicly release the labels for our test split, we provide the zero-shot and five-shot average accuracy on the validation split as a reference for developers. The validation split comprises a total of 1346 questions. We report the average answer-only accuracy across all subjects in table below. The average validation accuracy closely mirrors the average test accuracy as presented in Leaderboard.

Data
Download
-
Method 1: Download the zip file (you can also simply open the following link with the browser):
wget https://huggingface.co/datasets/ceval/ceval-exam/resolve/main/ceval-exam.zipthen unzip it and you may load the data with pandas:
import os import pandas as pd File_Dir="ceval-exam" test_df=pd.read_csv(os.path.join(File_Dir,"test","computer_network_test.csv"))
-
Method 2: Directly load the dataset using Hugging Face datasets:
from datasets import load_dataset dataset=load_dataset(r"ceval/ceval-exam",name="computer_network") print(dataset['val'][0]) # {'id': 0, 'question': '使用位填充方法，以01111110为位首flag，数据为011011111111111111110010，求问传送时要添加几个0____', 'A': '1', 'B': '2', 'C': '3', 'D': '4', 'answer': 'C', 'explanation': ''}
Notes
To facilitate usage, we have organized the subject name handlers and English/Chinese names corresponding to 52 subjects. Please refer to subject_mapping.json for details. The format is:
# the dict key is the subject handler, and the dict value is (English name, Chinese name, category) tuple
{
"computer_network": [
"Computer Network",
"计算机网络",
"STEM"
],
...
"filename":[
"English Name",
"Chinese Name"
"Supercatagory Label(STEM, Social Science, Humanities or Other)"
]
}
Each subject consists of three splits: dev, val, and test. The dev set per subject consists of five exemplars with explanations for few-shot evaluation. The val set is intended to be used for hyperparameter tuning. And the test set is for model evaluation. Labels on the test split are not released, users are required to submit their results to automatically obtain test accuracy. How to submit?
Below is a dev example from computer network:
id: 1
question: 25 °C时，将pH=2的强酸溶液与pH=13的强碱溶液混合，所得混合液的pH=11，则强酸溶液与强碱溶液 的体积比是(忽略混合后溶液的体积变化)____
A: 11:1
B: 9:1
C: 1:11
D: 1:9
answer: B
explanation:
1. pH=13的强碱溶液中c(OH-)=0.1mol/L, pH=2的强酸溶液中c(H+)=0.01mol/L，酸碱混合后pH=11，即c(OH-)=0.001mol/L。
2. 设强酸和强碱溶液的体积分别为x和y，则：c(OH-)=(0.1y-0.01x)/(x+y)=0.001，解得x:y=9:1。
How to Evaluate on C-Eval
Normally you can directly take the model's generations and extract the answer token (i.e. A,B,C,D) from it with simple regular expressions. In few-shot evaluation, the model usually follows the given template thus this is easy. Sometimes, however, especially in zero-shot evaluation for models without experiencing instruction tuning, the model may not follow the instruction well to give a well-formatted generation, in this case we recommend computing the probability of "A", "B", "C", "D" and take the most likely one as the answer -- this is a constrained decoding approach and was used in the official MMLU test code. Such a probability approach is not applicable for chain-of-thought settings. More detailed evaluation tutorial (in Chinese).
We use the following prompt when evaluating the models in our first release:

Use Through Evaluation Harness
Now, you can evaluate model on the validation set of C-Eval through lm-evaluation-harness, which is a framework for few-shot evaluation of autoregressive language models. The format of task name is Ceval-valid-{subject} ( e.g. Ceval-valid-computer_network). For example, to evaluate a model hosted on the HuggingFace Hub (e.g. GPT-J-6B) ,you can use the following command:
python main.py --model hf-causal --model_args pretrained=EleutherAI/gpt-j-6B --tasks Ceval-valid-computer_network --device cuda:0Please refer to lm-evaluation-harness for more details.
How to Submit
You need to first prepare a UTF-8 encoded JSON file with the following format, please refer to submission_example.json for details.
## key within each subject is the "id" field from the dataset
{
"chinese_language_and_literature": {
"0": "A",
"1": "B",
"2": "B",
...
},
"subject_name":{
"0":"ans_1",
"1":"ans_2",
...
}
....
}
Then you can submit the prepared json file here, note that you need to first log in to access the submission page.
