RoleLLM (arXiv 2310.00746v3, 18 Jun 2024) builds RoleBench: 95 English and 5 Chinese roles, 168,093 samples. Speaking style is scored as ROUGE-L overlap with GPT-4-generated reference answers (CUS), alongside GPT-4 and human win rates against a GPT-4 prompted baseline (RoleGPT). The human check used three NLP graduate students on a 500-instruction subset, with no agreement statistic in the text read. The setup is single-turn and per-role; the data card says apache-2.0 but the repository has no licence file and the scripts behind the data were not examined.
