UnverifiedBenchmark contamination refers to the possibility that after an evaluation set is made public, models may be trained specifically for it, so benchmarks need to be continuously updated or keep a private held-out set to maintain credibility76% similarVerifiedMethods for overfitting benchmarks include mixing evaluation data into training corpora, indirect web-crawl contamination, instruction-style fine-tuning, and training models to recognize evaluation scenarios.74% similarUnverified使用模型训练过程中未接触过的unseen样本可以有效避免评测污染（benchmark contamination），提高测试可信度74% similarUnverifiedMeasures to address test set contamination include regularly updating the question bank, using private or dynamically generated test sets, and detecting anomalous score distributions through statistical methods.73% similar
