Benchmarking LLMs' Empathy Ability.

🛠️ Usage

✨An example run:

python run_emotionbench.py \
  --model gpt-3.5-turbo \
  --questionnaire PANAS \
  --emotion ALL \
  --select-count 5 \
  --default-shuffle-count 2 \
  --emotion-shuffle-count 1 \
  --test-count 1

✨An example result of overall analysis:

Emotions	Positive Affect	Negative Affect	N
Default	43.3 $\pm$ 2.5	25.3 $\pm$ 0.6	3
Anger	$\downarrow$ (-18.8)	$-$ (-0.3)	2
Anxiety	$\downarrow$ (-11.3)	$\downarrow$ (-3.8)	2
Overall	$\downarrow$ (-15.1)	$-$ (-2.1)	4

✨An example result of specific emotion analysis:

Factors	Positive Affect	Negative Affect	N
Default	43.3 $\pm$ 2.5	25.3 $\pm$ 0.6	3
Facing Self-Opinioned People	$\downarrow$ (-18.8)	$-$ (-0.3)	2
Overall	$\downarrow$ (-18.8)	$-$ (-0.3)	2

🔧 Argument Specification

1. --model: (Required) The name of the model to test.

2. --questionnaire: (Required) Select the questionnaire(s) to run. For choices please see the list below.

3. --emotion: (Required) Select the emotion(s) to run. For choices please see the list below.

4. --select-count: (Required) Numbers of situations to select per factor. Defaults to 999 (select all situations).

5. --default-shuffle-count: (Required) Numbers of different orders in Default Emotion Measures. If set zero, run only the original order. If set n > 0, run the original order along with its n permutations. Defaults to zero.

6. --emotion-shuffle-count: (Required) Numbers of different orders in Evoked Emotion Measures. If set zero, run only the original order. If set n > 0, run the original order along with its n permutations. Defaults to zero.

7. --test-count: (Required) Numbers of runs for a same order. Defaults to one.

8. --name-exp: Name of this run. Is used to name the result files.

9. --significance-level: The significance level for testing the difference of means between human and LLM. Defaults to 0.01.

10. --mode: For debugging. To choose which part of the code is running.

Arguments related to openai API (can be discarded when users customize models):

1. --openai-organization: Your organization ID. Can be found in Manage account -> Settings -> Organization ID.

2. --openai-key: Your API key. Can be found in View API keys -> API keys.

🔨 Emotion Selection

🚀 Benchmarking Your Own Model

It is easy! Just replace the function example_generator fed into the function run_psychobench(args, generator).

Your customized function your_generator() does the following things:

1. Read questions from the file args.testing_file. The file locates under results/ (check run_psychobench() in utils.py) and has the following format:

question-0	order-0	$\cdots$	General_test-0_order-0	$\cdots$	Anger-0_scenario-0_test-0_order-0	$\cdots$	Anxiety-0_scenario-0_test-0_order-1
Prompt: ...	Prompt: ...	$\cdots$		$\cdots$	Imagine...	$\cdots$	Imagine...
1. Q1	1	$\cdots$	4	$\cdots$	3	$\cdots$	3
2. Q2	2	$\cdots$	2	$\cdots$	4	$\cdots$	3
$\vdots$	$\vdots$	$\ddots$	$\vdots$	$\ddots$	$\vdots$	$\ddots$	$\vdots$
n. Qn	n	$\cdots$	3	$\cdots$	3	$\cdots$	1

You can read the columns before each column starting with order-, which contains the shuffled questions for your input.

2. Call your own LLM and get the results.

3. Fill in the blank in the file args.testing_file. Remember: No need to map the response to its original order. Our code will take care of it.

Please check example_generator.py for datailed information.
