Large Language Models (LLMs) are being fine-tuned to align with user preferences and instructions in generative tasks. The need for robust benchmarks to evaluate retrieval systems led researchers at KAIST to create INSTRUCTIR. This benchmark focuses on instance-wise instructions to assist retrieval models in better understanding and adapting to diverse user search intentions and preferences.

INSTRUCTIR: A Novel Machine Learning Benchmark for Evaluating Instruction Following in Information Retrieval
Large Language Models (LLMs) have been fine-tuned to align with user preferences and instructions across generative tasks, crucial for effective information retrieval systems.
Challenges and Solutions
Current retrieval systems often neglect user-specific needs and struggle with ambiguous queries. To address these challenges, researchers at KAIST have introduced INSTRUCTIR, a benchmark that evaluates retrieval models’ ability to follow diverse user-aligned instructions, providing a comprehensive perspective on retriever’s adaptability to varying user instructions.
Unique Features of INSTRUCTIR
INSTRUCTIR focuses on instance-wise instructions, rigorously crafted through data creation pipelines and advanced language models like GPT-4. It introduces the Robustness score as an evaluation metric and provides a nuanced evaluation of retrieval models’ ability to cater to individual user needs.
Implications
INSTRUCTIR offers valuable insights into existing retrieval systems and is expected to accelerate progress in developing more adaptable and user-centric retrieval systems, driving advancements in information retrieval systems toward greater user satisfaction and effectiveness.
