New Decan metric measures creative text diversity using language models

Researchers have introduced a new metric called Decan ($D_{Ca_n}$) to measure the diversity of creative text outputs. This method utilizes in-context learning from a single forward pass of a language model, eliminating the need for separate embedding models or reference corpora. Decan has shown promising results on benchmarks like McDiv, approaching the performance of established neural baselines, and has successfully detected diversity loss in different stages of AI model training.

    "I've Seen How This Goes": Characterizing Diversity via Progressive Conditional Surprise

    arXiv:2606.01811v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Measuring the diversity of creative outputs is central to evaluating post-training mode collapse, comparing decoding strategies, and quantifying creative behavior in both AI and human writing. We propose a new approach to measurin…
