Rankers, Judges, and Assistants: Towards Understanding the Interplay of LLMs in Information Retrieval Evaluation
read the original abstract
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly integral to information retrieval (IR), powering ranking, evaluation, and AI-assisted content creation. This widespread adoption necessitates a critical examination of potential biases arising from the interplay between these LLM-based components. This paper synthesizes existing research and presents novel experiment designs that explore how LLM-based rankers and assistants influence LLM-based judges. We provide the first empirical evidence of LLM judges exhibiting significant bias towards LLM-based rankers. Furthermore, we observe limitations in LLM judges' ability to discern subtle system performance differences. Contrary to some previous findings, our preliminary study does not find evidence of bias against AI-generated content. These results highlight the need for a more holistic view of the LLM-driven information ecosystem. To this end, we offer initial guidelines and a research agenda to ensure the reliable use of LLMs in IR evaluation.

Evaluating Tool-Using Language Agents: Judge Reliability, Propagation Cascades, and Runtime Mitigation in AgentProp-Bench
AgentProp-Bench shows substring judging agrees with humans at kappa=0.049, LLM ensemble at 0.432, bad-parameter injection propagates with ~0.62 probability, rejection and recovery are independent, and a runtime fix cu...

Mixed response geometry and critical crossover in the Ising model
Thermodynamic curvature on the (β, h) manifold in the Ising model produces a ridge that geometrically identifies the Widom line as the locus of maximal response extending from the critical point.

Mixed response geometry and critical crossover in the Ising model
In the 2D Ising model, the mixed response Ω_βh = −N cov(m,e) forms a localized ridge from criticality into finite-field crossover and collapses onto a susceptibility-constrained curve in normalized coordinates.
