Translator Benchmarks Runner

This repository provides a set of benchmarks as well as the code to send the queries and evaluate the returned results of a benchmark.

benchmarks-runner contains the code to query targets and evaluate results.

benchmarks-runner.config contains the data sets, query templates, targets, and benchmark definitions necessary to run a benchmark. See config/README.md for details about targets and benchmarks.

Usage

Running a benchmark is a two-step process:

1. Execute the queries of a benchmark and store the scored results.
2. Evaluate the scored results against the set of ground-truth relevant results.

Installation of the benchmarks-runner package provides access to the functions and command-line interface necessary to run benchmarks.

CLI

The command-line interface is the easiest way to run a benchmark.

• benchmarks_fetch

  • Fetches (un)scored results given the name of a benchmark (specified in config/benchmarks.json), target (specified in config/targets.json), and a directory to store results.
  • By default, benchmarks_fetch fetches scored results using 5 concurrent requests. Run benchmarks_fetch --help for more details.

• benchmarks_score

  • Scores results given the name of a benchmark (specified in config/benchmarks.json), target (specified in config/targets.json), a directory containing unscored results, and a directory to store scored results.
  • By default, benchmarks_score uses 5 concurrent requests. Run benchmarks_score --help for more details.

• benchmarks_eval

  • Evaluates a set of scored results given the name of a benchmark (specified in config/benchmarks.json) and a directory containing scored results.
  • By default, the evaluation considers the top 20 results of each query, and plots are not generated. Run benchmarks_eval --help for more details.

Functions

The CLI functionality is also available by importing functions from the benchmarks package.

from benchmarks.request import fetch_results, score_results
from benchmarks.eval import evaluate_results

# Fetch unscored results
fetch_results('benchmark_name', 'target_name', 'unscored_results_dir', scored=False)

# Score unscored results
score_results('unscored_results_dir', 'target_name', 'results_dir')

# Evaluate scored results
evaluate_results('benchmark_name', 'results_dir OR results_dict')

See the documentation of each function for more information.

Installation

Install the repository as an editable package using pip.

pip install -e .

UI

These benchmarks come with a frontend for viewing the scored results.

Installation

Requires python 3.9.

• Create a python virtual environment: python3.9 -m venv benchmark_venv
• Activate your environment: . ./benchmark_venv/bin/activate
• Install dependencies: pip install -r requirements.txt
• Start the frontend server: python server.py
• Open in your browser

Benchmark Runner

The benchmarks can be installed from pypi and used as part of the Translator-wide automated testing.

• pip install benchmarks-runner To run benchmarks:

import asyncio
from benchmarks_runner import run_benchmarks

output = asyncio.run(run_benchmarks(<benchmark>, <target>))

where benchmark is the name of a benchmark that is specified in config/benchmarks.json, and a target that is specified in config/targets.json
