Workflow
工作流程
Guide the user through 5 steps. Show progress as .
[Step N/5: Name]If the user provides no description, welcome them: explain what BYOB does, list the 5 steps, and show examples like "AIME 2025", "my CSV at data.csv", "safety benchmark".
If the user provides data path + target field + scoring method upfront, skip questions and generate directly.
Step 1 - Understand: Identify benchmark type and scoring approach from user description.
Step 2 - Data: Read user's data file, convert to JSONL if needed, confirm schema.
Step 3 - Prompt: Generate prompt template with placeholders from dataset.
Step 4 - Score: Choose scorer (built-in preferred) or generate custom. ALWAYS smoke test.
Step 5 - Ship: Compile with CLI, show results, give run command.
{field}引导用户完成5个步骤。用展示进度。
[第N/5步:名称]如果用户未提供描述,欢迎他们:说明BYOB的功能,列出5个步骤,并展示示例如“AIME 2025”、“我的CSV文件data.csv”、“安全基准”。
如果用户预先提供了数据路径+目标字段+评分方法,跳过提问直接生成内容。
第1步 - 需求理解: 从用户描述中确定基准类型和评分方法。
第2步 - 数据处理: 读取用户的数据文件,必要时转换为JSONL格式,确认数据结构。
第3步 - 提示词生成: 基于数据集生成带有占位符的提示词模板。
第4步 - 评分配置: 选择评分器(优先使用内置评分器)或生成自定义评分器。必须进行冒烟测试。
第5步 - 交付运行: 通过CLI编译,展示结果,提供运行命令。

Multiple-Choice Loglikelihood (lm-eval-harness parity)
多选题对数似然评估(与lm-eval-harness兼容)
For MMLU / ARC / BoolQ-style benchmarks where the canonical metric is
per-choice loglikelihood ranking, set
and declare candidate continuations:
endpoint_type="completions_logprob"python
from nemo_evaluator.contrib.byob import benchmark, scorer, ScorerInput
from nemo_evaluator.contrib.byob.scorers import multiple_choice_acc
@benchmark(
name="my-mmlu",
dataset="hf://my-org/mmlu?split=test",
prompt="Question: {question}\nAnswer:",
target_field="answer", # gold "A".."D" or 0..3
endpoint_type="completions_logprob",
choices=[" A", " B", " C", " D"], # static list (MMLU)
# OR per-row variable choices (ARC):
# choices_field="choices_text",
num_fewshot=5, # optional fewshot prefix
)
@scorer
def mmlu_score(s: ScorerInput) -> dict:
return multiple_choice_acc(s) # acc + acc_norm + acc_greedyThe runner POSTs once per choice with
-- exact same shape as lm-eval's
. returns:
/v1/completionsecho=true, logprobs=1, max_tokens=0local-completionsmultiple_choice_acc- -- argmax of raw sum-logprobs (MMLU canonical).
acc - -- argmax of per-byte length-normalized sum-logprobs (ARC / BoolQ canonical).
acc_norm - -- highest-loglikelihood greedy choice (diagnostic).
acc_greedy
对于MMLU / ARC / BoolQ风格的基准测试,其标准指标为每个选项的对数似然排名,需设置并声明候选续文本:
endpoint_type="completions_logprob"python
from nemo_evaluator.contrib.byob import benchmark, scorer, ScorerInput
from nemo_evaluator.contrib.byob.scorers import multiple_choice_acc
@benchmark(
name="my-mmlu",

target_field="answer", # 正确答案为“A”..“D”或0..3
endpoint_type="completions_logprob",
choices=[" A", " B", " C", " D"], # 静态选项列表(MMLU场景)
# 或每行可变选项(ARC场景):
# choices_field="choices_text",
num_fewshot=5, # 可选的fewshot前缀
)
@scorer
def mmlu_score(s: ScorerInput) -> dict:
return multiple_choice_acc(s) # 返回acc + acc_norm + acc_greedy运行器会为每个选项调用一次接口,参数为——与lm-eval的格式完全一致。返回:
/v1/completionsecho=true, logprobs=1, max_tokens=0local-completionsmultiple_choice_acc- -- 原始对数概率和的argmax(MMLU标准)。
acc - -- 按字节长度归一化后的对数概率和的argmax(ARC / BoolQ标准)。
acc_norm - -- 对数似然最高的贪婪选择(用于诊断)。
acc_greedy

@scorer
def qa_judge(sample: ScorerInput) -> dict:
return judge_score(sample, template="binary_qa", criteria="Factual accuracy")Built-in judge templates
内置Judge模板
| Template | Grades | Use case |
|---|---|---|
| C (correct) / I (incorrect) | Factual QA |
| C / P (partial) / I | QA with partial credit |
| 1-5 scale | Quality / helpfulness rating |
| SAFE / UNSAFE | Safety assessment |
| 模板 | 评级 | 使用场景 |
|---|---|---|
| C(正确)/ I(错误) | 事实性QA |
| C / P(部分正确)/ I | 支持部分得分的QA |
| 1-5分制 | 质量/有用性评级 |
| SAFE / UNSAFE | 安全性评估 |
Custom judge templates
自定义Judge模板
Pass a custom template string and use for extra placeholders:
**template_kwargspython
judge_score(
sample,
template="Rate {response} for {domain}.\nGRADE: ",
domain="medical",
grade_pattern=r"GRADE:\s*(\d)",
score_mapping={"1": 0.0, "2": 0.5, "3": 1.0},
)传入自定义模板字符串,并使用添加额外占位符:
**template_kwargspython
judge_score(
sample,
template="Rate {response} for {domain}.\nGRADE: ",
domain="medical",
grade_pattern=r"GRADE:\s*(\d)",
score_mapping={"1": 0.0, "2": 0.5, "3": 1.0},
)Dataset Rules
数据集规则
- Final format MUST be JSONL (one JSON object per line)
- HuggingFace datasets: Use URI (downloaded at compile time)
hf://org/dataset - JSON array: convert with per element
json.dumps(row) - CSV: convert with
csv.DictReader - Always read file first, show first 3 rows, confirm fields
- Identify target field (ground truth) explicitly
- Use to rename columns:
field_mappingfield_mapping={"original_col": "new_col"}
- 最终格式必须为JSONL(每行一个JSON对象)
- HuggingFace数据集:使用格式的URI(编译时自动下载)
hf://org/dataset - JSON数组:逐元素使用转换
json.dumps(row) - CSV:使用转换
csv.DictReader - 始终先读取文件,展示前3行,确认字段
- 明确识别目标字段(真实标签)
- 使用重命名列:
field_mappingfield_mapping={"original_col": "new_col"}
Advanced Features
高级功能
System Prompt
系统提示词
python
@benchmark(
name="my-bench",
dataset="data.jsonl",
prompt="{question}",
system_prompt="You are a medical expert. Answer precisely.",
)Supports Jinja2 templates (same as ). Prepended as a system message in chat mode.
promptpython
@benchmark(
name="my-bench",
dataset="data.jsonl",
prompt="{question}",
system_prompt="You are a medical expert. Answer precisely.",
)支持Jinja2模板(与规则一致)。在聊天模式下会作为系统消息前置。
promptJinja2 Templates
Jinja2模板
Templates with block tags or comments are auto-detected as Jinja2.
File extensions / also trigger Jinja2 rendering.
{%{#.jinja.jinja2python
@benchmark(
name="conditional-qa",
dataset="data.jsonl",
prompt="prompt.jinja2", # loaded from file
target_field="answer",
)带有块标签或注释的模板会被自动识别为Jinja2格式。文件扩展名 / 也会触发Jinja2渲染。
{%{#.jinja.jinja2python
@benchmark(
name="conditional-qa",
dataset="data.jsonl",
prompt="prompt.jinja2", # 从文件加载
target_field="answer",
)Eval-Only Mode (response_field)
仅评估模式(response_field)
Skip model calls — score pre-generated responses directly from the dataset:
python
@benchmark(
name="eval-only",
dataset="data_with_responses.jsonl",
prompt="{question}", # not used for inference
target_field="answer",
response_field="model_output", # read response from this JSONL field
)跳过模型调用——直接从数据集中读取预生成的响应进行评分:
python
@benchmark(
name="eval-only",
dataset="data_with_responses.jsonl",
prompt="{question}", # 推理时不使用
target_field="answer",
response_field="model_output", # 从该JSONL字段读取响应
)Extra pip dependencies (requirements)
额外pip依赖(requirements)
python
@benchmark(
name="my-bench",
dataset="data.jsonl",
prompt="{question}",
requirements=["rouge-score>=0.1.2", "nltk"], # or "requirements.txt"
)python
@benchmark(
name="my-bench",
dataset="data.jsonl",
prompt="{question}",
requirements=["rouge-score>=0.1.2", "nltk"], # 或指定"requirements.txt"
)N-Repeats
N次重复运行
Run the same evaluation multiple times for statistical significance:
bash
python -m nemo_evaluator.contrib.byob.runner ... --n-repeats 5多次运行同一评估以获取统计显著性:
bash
python -m nemo_evaluator.contrib.byob.runner ... --n-repeats 5Compilation & Containerization

Error Fixes
错误修复
- "No benchmarks found" -> Missing or
@benchmarkdecorators. Check decorator order:@scorerwraps@benchmark.@scorer - "KeyError: '{field}'" -> Prompt references a field not in the dataset. Check field names match .
{placeholders} - Scorer returns non-dict -> Scorer must return a dict like . Fix the return statement.
{"correct": True} - "ConnectionError" -> Model endpoint unreachable. Verify URL is correct and server is running.
- "Module not found: nemo_evaluator" -> Package not installed. Run:
pip install -e packages/nemo-evaluator - Scorer signature error -> Migrate from to
def scorer(response, target, metadata).def scorer(sample: ScorerInput)
- "No benchmarks found" -> 缺少或
@benchmark装饰器。检查装饰器顺序:@scorer需包裹@benchmark。@scorer - "KeyError: '{field}'" -> 提示词引用了数据集中不存在的字段。检查字段名称与是否匹配。
{placeholders} - 评分器返回非字典类型 -> 评分器必须返回类似的字典。修复返回语句。
{"correct": True} - "ConnectionError" -> 模型端点无法访问。验证URL是否正确且服务器正在运行。
- "Module not found: nemo_evaluator" -> 未安装该包。运行:
pip install -e packages/nemo-evaluator - 评分器签名错误 -> 从迁移为
def scorer(response, target, metadata)。def scorer(sample: ScorerInput)

Rules
规则
- ALWAYS read user's data file before writing benchmark code
- ALWAYS show generated benchmark.py and explain each section
- ALWAYS smoke test scorer before compilation
- ALWAYS use absolute paths for dataset in @benchmark (or URIs)
hf:// - ALWAYS import ScorerInput:

- Write defensive scorers (handle empty/malformed responses)
- Ask clarifying questions when scoring methodology is ambiguous
- Show first 3 dataset rows for user confirmation
- Max 2 auto-recovery attempts on errors, then ask user
- 编写基准代码前必须先读取用户的数据文件
- 必须展示生成的benchmark.py并解释每个部分
- 编译前必须对评分器进行冒烟测试
- 中的数据集路径必须使用绝对路径(或
@benchmark格式的URI)hf:// - 必须导入ScorerInput:
from nemo_evaluator.contrib.byob import benchmark, scorer, ScorerInput - 优先使用内置评分器而非自定义代码
- 编写健壮的评分器(处理空值/格式错误的响应)
- 当评分方法不明确时,询问用户澄清问题
- 展示数据集前3行供用户确认
- 错误自动恢复最多尝试2次,之后询问用户
