Reference Hallucination Arena Skill

Evaluate how accurately LLMs recommend real academic references using the OpenJudge RefArenaPipeline:

1. Load queries — from JSON/JSONL dataset
2. Collect responses — BibTeX-formatted references from target models
3. Extract references — parse BibTeX entries from model output
4. Verify references — cross-check against Crossref / PubMed / arXiv / DBLP
5. Score & rank — compute verification rate, per-field accuracy, discipline breakdown
6. Generate report — Markdown report + visualization charts

Prerequisites

# Install OpenJudge
pip install py-openjudge

# Extra dependency for ref_hallucination_arena (chart generation)
pip install matplotlib

Gather from user before running

Info	Required?	Notes
Config YAML path	Yes	Defines endpoints, dataset, verification settings
Dataset path	Yes	JSON/JSONL file with queries (can be set in config)
API keys	Yes	Env vars: OPENAI_API_KEY, DASHSCOPE_API_KEY, etc.
CrossRef email	No	Improves API rate limits for verification
PubMed API key	No	Improves PubMed rate limits
Output directory	No	Default: ./evaluation_results/ref_hallucination_arena
Report language	No	"en" (default) or "zh"
Tavily API key	No	Required only if using tool-augmented mode

Quick start

CLI

# Run evaluation with config file
python -m cookbooks.ref_hallucination_arena --config config.yaml --save

# Resume from checkpoint (default behavior)
python -m cookbooks.ref_hallucination_arena --config config.yaml --save

# Start fresh, ignore checkpoint
python -m cookbooks.ref_hallucination_arena --config config.yaml --fresh --save

# Override output directory
python -m cookbooks.ref_hallucination_arena --config config.yaml \
  --output_dir ./my_results --save

Python API

import asyncio
from cookbooks.ref_hallucination_arena.pipeline import RefArenaPipeline

async def main():
    pipeline = RefArenaPipeline.from_config("config.yaml")
    result = await pipeline.evaluate()

    for rank, (model, score) in enumerate(result.rankings, 1):
        print(f"{rank}. {model}: {score:.1%}")

asyncio.run(main())
