🔍 xVerify-14B-Ib

xVerify is an evaluation tool fine-tuned from a pre-trained large language model, designed specifically for objective questions with a single correct answer. It accurately extracts the final answer from lengthy reasoning processes and efficiently identifies equivalence across different forms of expressions.

This model was introduced in the paper xVerify: Efficient Answer Verifier for Reasoning Model Evaluations.

✨ Key Features

📊 Broad Applicability

Suitable for various objective question evaluation scenarios including math problems, multiple-choice questions, classification tasks, and short-answer questions.

⛓️ Handles Long Reasoning Chains

Effectively processes answers with extensive reasoning steps to extract the final answer, regardless of complexity.

🌐 Multilingual Support

Primarily handles Chinese and English responses while remaining compatible with other languages.

🔄 Powerful Equivalence Judgment

✓ Recognizes basic transformations like letter case changes and Greek letter conversions
✓ Identifies equivalent mathematical expressions across formats (LaTeX, fractions, scientific notation)
✓ Determines semantic equivalence in natural language answers
✓ Matches multiple-choice responses by content rather than just option identifiers

🚀 Sample Usage

You can use this model for evaluation as shown in the official repository. Note that this requires the evaluation logic provided in the source code:

# Single sample evaluation test
from src.xVerify.model import Model
from src.xVerify.eval import Evaluator

# initialization
model_name = 'xVerify-14B-Ib'  # Model name
path = 'IAAR-Shanghai/xVerify-14B-Ib'  # Hugging Face path
inference_mode = 'local'  # Inference mode, 'local' or 'api'
model = Model(
    model_name=model_name,
    model_path_or_url=path,
    inference_mode=inference_mode
)
evaluator = Evaluator(model=model)

# input evaluation information
question = "New steel giant includes Lackawanna site A major change is coming to the global steel industry and a galvanized mill in Lackawanna that formerly belonged to Bethlehem Steel Corp.
Classify the topic of the above sentence as World, Sports, Business, or Sci/Tech."
llm_output = "The answer is Business."
correct_answer = "Business"

# evaluation
result = evaluator.single_evaluate(
    question=question,
    llm_output=llm_output,
    correct_answer=correct_answer
)
print(result)
