Benchmarking the Benchmarks: Evaluating Benchmarks for Conversational Agents
Task-oriented conversational agents are evaluated using curated or automatically generated benchmarks, yet benchmark quality is rarely assessed. Poor benchmarks may contain inconsistent tasks, simplistic scenarios, or limited policy coverage, leading to unreliable evaluations. We introduce a reference-free framework that uses LLM judges to assess benchmark consistency, complexity, and policy coverage, while providing actionable diagnostics of weaknesses. We validate the framework by demonstrating agreement with independent human annotations and by evaluating benchmarks generated by LLMs of varying capabilities, as well as benchmarks subjected to controlled quality-degrading perturbations. Across domains and judge models, the proposed metrics consistently distinguish between benchmark quality levels. We further demonstrate the framework's applicability to manually curated benchmarks. Our framework offers a practical approach for evaluating synthetic and manually curated conversational-agent benchmarks.
