Introduces budgeted heteroskedastic multi-judge estimation and proves instance-optimality of an adaptive inverse-variance weighted estimator via matching upper and lower bounds.
Code LLMs generate substantially worse comments outside English, and no tested automatic metric or LLM judge reliably matches human assessment of those outputs.
Mean-difference residual stream injections outperform personality prompting for OCEAN trait steering in most LLMs, with hybrids performing best and showing approximate linearity but non-human trait covariances.
Full-sequence masking in SFT unlocks prompt infilling for masked diffusion language models, producing templates that match or surpass hand-designed ones and transfer across models.
Qualitative study of 19 practitioners reveals ten LLM product evaluation practices and introduces the results-actionability gap as a key barrier to turning findings into improvements.
A recurrent-depth architecture enables language models to improve reasoning performance by iterating computation in latent space, achieving gains equivalent to much larger models on benchmarks.
Skill-RM unifies heterogeneous reward criteria by modeling reward computation as dynamic execution of a reusable Reward-Evaluation Skill within an agent framework.
POLARIS trains Qwen3.5-9B via GRPO with LLM-as-judge rewards and human-reference injection, yielding a model competitive with larger open-weight models on length adherence and quality, including generalization to 3x training length.
On binary verdicts, Pearson, Spearman, Kendall's tau-b, phi, and the Matthews correlation are a single statistic, so most multi-metric agreement reports repeat one number under different names.
Correlation analysis of four RAG metric libraries against human evaluations on 96 questions shows RAGChecker metrics correlate strongly with human scores, while generation-as-overall metrics correlate weakly, but single-system confounding limits interpretability.
