# EWoK-core-1.0 |
|
The repository hosts data from the paper |
|
[**E**lements of **Wo**rld **K**nowledge (EWoK): A cognition-inspired framework for evaluating basic world knowledge in language models](https://ewok-core.github.io/) |
|
|
|
## What is EWoK? |
|
|
|
The ability to build and leverage world models is essential for a general-purpose AI agent. |
|
Testing such capabilities can be hard, in part because the building blocks of world models |
|
are ill-defined. Here, we present Elements of World Knowledge (EWOK), a framework for evaluating |
|
world modeling in language models by testing their ability to use knowledge of a concept to match |
|
a target text with a plausible/implausible context. EWOK targets specific concepts from multiple |
|
knowledge domains, known to be vital for world modeling in humans. Domains range from social |
|
interactions (help/hinder) to spatial relations (left/right). Both contexts and targets are |
|
minimal pairs. Objects, agents and locations in the items can be flexibly filled in, enabling |
|
easy generation of multiple controlled datasets. We then introduce **EWOK-CORE-1.0**, a dataset of |
|
4,374 items covering 11 world knowledge domains. We evaluate the performance of 20 open-weights |
|
large language models (ranging from 1.3B-70B parameters) across a battery of evaluation paradigms |
|
along with a human norming study comprising 12,480 measurements. The overall performance of all |
|
tested models is worse than human performance, with results varying drastically across domains. |
|
These data highlight simple cases in which even large models fail and present rich avenues for |
|
targeted research on LLM world modeling capabilities. |
