中文版:困惑度计算器
原理:困惑度 PPL = 2^H 是熵的指数化口径——「模型每一步实际在多少个等概率选项里犹豫」。均匀分布 4 选 1 时 PPL = 4;完美预测时 H = 0、PPL = 1。语言模型评测里的 PPL 通常由自然对数损失换算:PPL = e^loss。
步骤:① 输入概率分布或交叉熵损失;② 点击计算;③ 读出熵与困惑度。
示例:p = (0.4, 0.3, 0.2, 0.1) 时 H = 1.846439344671、PPL = 3.596115466624——相当于在 3.6 个等概率选项中做选择;损失 0.6931 时 PPL = 1.999905641106,即约 2 选 1。
注意事项:分布与损失的口径必须一致(比特对应 2^H,奈特对应 e^H);困惑度越低越好但没有绝对下限参照——不同词表大小、分词方式下的 PPL 不可直接比较;它衡量的是分布匹配度,不是生成质量。
