LLM diversity metrics may not measure diversity, study finds

A new research paper published on arXiv questions the effectiveness of common diversity metrics used in Large Language Model (LLM) ensembles. The study found that these metrics often correlate more with the models' overall capability than with actual diversity, making them unreliable for selecting models to combine. The research suggests that while latent complementarity exists, simple majority voting gains are modest, and a more robust predictor of gain is the degree to which models share errors. AI

IMPACT Challenges the reliability of current methods for selecting diverse LLMs, potentially impacting ensemble performance and research into model combination strategies.
