Project description
Innovative solution for automated and sustainable LLM selection
Large language models (LLMs) have recently brought significant advances to both academic research and industrial applications. However, the growing number of available LLMs has created a new challenge: selecting the most efficient model for a specific supervised machine learning (ML) task often requires evaluating a large portfolio of LLMs, leading to high computational costs and increased environmental impact. Supported by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the AutoLLMSelect project aims to address this issue by creating a groundbreaking solution. It will develop a comprehensive LLM benchmark dataset analysis and introduce the first evolving framework for automated LLM selection, with a focus on sustainability and cost reduction.
Objective
Large Language Models (LLMs) are gradually becoming part of academic and industrial processes due to their inherent capacity to solve a multitude of different problems across different domains. However, an open question remains – from the multitude of LLMs available, how to select the most appropriate LLM to use on a specific supervised machine learning (ML) problem (with or without fine-tuning), without evaluating a large portfolio of LLMs on the labelled dataset related to that ML problem. Evaluating a large LLM portfolio across multiple criteria introduces high computational cost, which then translates into a negative environmental impact, especially in terms of increased carbon emission. This proposal aims to (1) publish a comprehensive LLM benchmark dataset analysis that would facilitate a robust and unbised LLM benchmarking, (2) make the first steps towards a robust, explainable and evolving framework for automated LLM selection based on a multi-disciplinary approach that would reduce the cost for comparing large LLM portfolio on ML datasets, and (3) evaluate the applicability of the framework on a use-case from in field of sustainable development. Due to the high complexity of the problem to be solved, the proposal will present a proof-of-concept on a selected LLM portfolio, dataset portfolio, and performance metrics, based on the available data in public benchmarks. The framework would evolve and could be extended in the future with new LLMs, benchmark datasets, ML tasks, performance metrics, from both our side and the community.
