CriticBench is a novel benchmark designed to comprehensively and reliably evaluate the critique abilities of Large Language Models (LLMs). These critique abilities are crucial for scalable oversight and self-improvement of LLMs. While many recent studies explore how LLMs can judge and refine flaws in their generated outputs, the measurement of critique abilities remains under-explored.

Here are the key aspects of CriticBench:

1. Purpose: To assess LLMs' critique abilities across four dimensions:

   • Feedback: How well an LLM provides constructive feedback.
   • Comparison: The ability to compare and contrast different responses.
   • Refinement: How effectively an LLM can refine flawed or suboptimal outputs.
   • Meta-feedback: The LLM's ability to reflect on its own performance.

2. Tasks: CriticBench encompasses nine diverse tasks, each evaluating LLMs' critique abilities at varying levels of quality granularity.

3. Evaluation: The benchmark evaluates both open-source and closed-source LLMs, revealing intriguing relationships between critique abilities, response qualities, and model scales.

4. Resources: Datasets, resources, and an evaluation toolkit for CriticBench will be publicly released.

In summary, CriticBench aims to provide a comprehensive framework for assessing LLMs' critique and self-improvement capabilities, contributing to the advancement of large-scale language models in various applications.
