CGCE: A Chinese Generative Chat Evaluation Benchmark for General and Financial Domains — Zhang et al. (2023) (arXiv:2305.14471, 2023)
What this evaluates
Evaluates Chinese generative chat models on general knowledge and financial domain tasks, measuring response quality across multiple human-assessed dimensions. It probes the model's ability to handle diverse prompts in mathematics, reasoning, scenario writing, and financial analysis, while assessing the overall quality of the generated Chinese text.
Datasets
- CGCE — total 350; splits: test (350)
Metrics
accuracy(primary) — range: other- Human annotators rate the factual correctness and relevance of the model's response to the prompt.
coherence— range: other- Human annotators rate the logical flow and structural consistency of the generated text.
clarity— range: other- Human annotators rate how clearly and understandably the response conveys its points.
completeness— range: other- Human annotators rate whether the response fully addresses all aspects of the prompt.
Input / output format
Input: Chinese-language prompts/questions spanning general domains (math, reasoning, scenario writing) and financial domains (terminology, market commentary, data analysis, news).
Output: Free-form Chinese text responses generated by the model.
Scoring recipe
def compute_cgce_score(predictions, golds):
total_score = 0.0
for pred, gold in zip(predictions, golds):
acc = human_annotate(pred, 'accuracy')
coh = human_annotate(pred, 'coherence')
clr = human_annotate(pred, 'clarity')
comp = human_annotate(pred, 'completeness')
total_score += (acc + coh + clr + comp) / 4.0
return total_score / len(predictions)
Common pitfalls
- Scoring relies entirely on human judgment rather than automated metrics, introducing inter-annotator variability.
- The benchmark is exclusively in Chinese, making it inapplicable to non-Chinese models or cross-lingual evaluations.
- No standardized rubric or scoring scale (e.g., 1-5) is explicitly defined in the provided text, requiring external documentation for exact thresholds.
Evidence (verbatim from paper)
The benchmark employs multi-dimensional human scoring on accuracy, coherence, clarity, and completeness to assess model performance in real-world Chinese generative tasks, addressing the critical gap in domain-specific and language-specific evaluation for Chinese chat models.
