Release Unitxt 1.12.2 · IBM/unitxt

Main changes

Task "input"/"output" fields renamed to "input_fields" and "reference_fields" to be better reflect their meaning and the type of each field is now define by python class names and not strings (str vs "str") . See example of new syntax here:
https://www.unitxt.ai/en/latest/docs/adding_task.html (old syntax still allowed)
Ability create ensemble of judges . See example in https://www.unitxt.ai/en/latest/docs/examples.html#evaluate-using-ensemble-of-llm-as-a-judge-metrics
Optimized Rouge and Meteor metrics to run faster and now report confidence intervals by default. This cause very small variances in scores (well within the confidence internal)
Added ability to select demonstrations that depend on the specific instance (and not only random). See example in https://github.com/IBM/unitxt/blob/main/examples/evaluate_different_demo_selections.py . This change causes some changes in selection of random demos due to seed changes, but should not have any aggregated effect beyond random fluctuations.
For LLM as Judges, the input sent to the judge is now displayed in the score field called 'judge_raw_input'
Support for arena hard benchmark. See example: https://github.com/IBM/unitxt/blob/main/examples/evaluate_a_model_using_arena_hard.py
