Researchers have developed the HUMANS benchmark to efficiently evaluate large audio models (LAMs) by using small, curated subsets of data. These subsets, comprising as few as 50 examples, can achieve over 0.93 correlation with full benchmark scores. Notably, when used to train regression models, these selected subsets demonstrated a higher correlation (0.98) with human preferences than models trained on random subsets or the entire benchmark, suggesting quality of data curation is more important than quantity for predicting user satisfaction.
