New Seq@K metric evaluates language models on iterative feedback

A new evaluation protocol called Seq@K has been introduced to better assess language models' ability to learn from sequential feedback. Unlike traditional metrics like Pass@1 or Pass@K, Seq@K measures a model's success in solving a problem within a set number of attempts, incorporating feedback after each failure. This method reveals a different landscape of model performance, highlighting variations in rankings and the potential for more efficient configurations. Analyzing model trajectories under Seq@K also provides insights into their iterative refinement behaviors and how feedback influences their responses, emphasizing the need for careful design of feedback loops in agentic systems.

    Seq@K: Evaluating Language Models Under Sequential Feedback

    arXiv:2610.37859v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Language-model agents differ fundamentally from prior intelligent systems in their ability to learn from natural language in context. This capability enables agents to iteratively refine their answers in response to feedback, a prev…
