xVerify is an evaluation tool fine-tuned from a pre-trained large language model, designed specifically for objective questions with a single correct answer. It is presented in the paper [xVerify: Efficient Answer Verifier for Reasoning Model Evaluations](https://huggingface.co/papers/2504.10481).

It accurately extracts the final answer from lengthy reasoning processes and efficiently identifies equivalence across different forms of expressions.

## ✨ Key Features

### 📊 Broad Applicability
Suitable for various objective question evaluation scenarios including math problems, multiple-choice questions, classification tasks, and short-answer questions.

### ⛓️ Handles Long Reasoning Chains
Effectively processes answers with extensive reasoning steps to extract the final answer, regardless of complexity.

### 🌐 Multilingual Support
Primarily handles Chinese and English responses while remaining compatible with other languages.

### 🔄 Powerful Equivalence Judgment
- ✓ Recognizes basic transformations like letter case changes and Greek letter conversions
- ✓ Identifies equivalent mathematical expressions across formats (LaTeX, fractions, scientific notation)
- ✓ Determines semantic equivalence in natural language answers
- ✓ Matches multiple-choice responses by content rather than just option identifiers

## 🚀 Sample Usage

This snippet demonstrates single-sample evaluation using the `Evaluator` logic provided in the [official repository](https://github.com/IAAR-Shanghai/xVerify).

```python
from src.xVerify.model import Model
from src.xVerify.eval import Evaluator

# initialization
model_name = 'xVerify-7B-I'
model_path = 'IAAR-Shanghai/xVerify-7B-I'
inference_mode = 'local' 

model = Model(
    model_name=model_name,
    model_path_or_url=model_path,
    inference_mode=inference_mode,
)
evaluator = Evaluator(model=model)

# input evaluation information
question = "New steel giant includes Lackawanna site A major change is coming to the global steel industry and a galvanized mill in Lackawanna that formerly belonged to Bethlehem Steel Corp.
Classify the topic of the above sentence as World, Sports, Business, or Sci/Tech."
llm_output = "The answer is Business."
correct_answer = "Business"

# evaluation
result = evaluator.single_evaluate(
    question=question,
    llm_output=llm_output,
    correct_answer=correct_answer
)
print(result)
```
