Tools for benchmark prediction with fewer data.

Benchmark Prediction with Fewer Data

BenchPred is a Python package that provides a suite of tools to predict benchmark performances with fewer data. It provides all methods that we examined in our paper.

Our results shows that, these methods are most proficient at interpolating scores among similar models. However, except Random-Sampling and AIPW, all methods face significant difficulties when predicting target models that differ substantially from those they have encountered before.

We caution against the indiscriminate use of benchmark prediction techniques and recommend to use AIPW or, alternatively, Random-Sampling with a larger sampling budget.

Installation

Install the package with the following command,

pip install -e .

or only install the requirements,

pip install -r requirement.txt

Example Usage

from benchpred import all_methods


method = all_methods["aipw"]()
method.fit(
    source_full_scores,  # (n_source_model * n_data) binary matrix
    coreset_size=50,  
    seed=42
)
coreset = method.get_coreset()
target_coreset_scores = ...  # (n_target_model * coreset_size) binary matrix based on coreset
pred_acc = method.predict(target_coreset_scores)
