We describe GEMBA, a GPT-based metric for assessment of translation quality, which works both with a reference translation and without. In our evaluation, we focus on zero-shot prompting, comparing four prompt variants in two modes, based on the availability of the reference. We investigate nine versions of GPT models, including ChatGPT and GPT-4. We show that our method for translation quality assessment only works with GPT~3.5 and larger models. Comparing to results from WMT22's Metrics shared task, our method achieves state-of-the-art accuracy in both modes when compared to MQM-based human labels. Our results are valid on the system level for all three WMT22 Metrics shared task language pairs, namely English into German, English into Russian, and Chinese into English. This provides a first glimpse into the usefulness of pre-trained, generative large language models for quality assessment of translations. We publicly release all our code and prompt templates used for the experiments described in this work, as well as all corresponding scoring results, to allow for external validation and reproducibility.

    cs.CL 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Distilling agreement-filtered multi-LRM jury annotations into Gemma-3-12B improves MQM translation quality evaluation from 52.63% to 55.03% average segment-level accuracy, approaching closed LRMs.

  3. Who Broke the System? Failure Localization in LLM-Based Multi-Agent Systems

    cs.CR 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    AgentLocate localizes multi-agent LLM failures to a responsible agent and earliest decisive step via judge hypotheses, confidence-weighted multi-evaluator verification, and LoRA refinement.

  4. How Significant Are the Real Performance Gains? An Unbiased Evaluation Framework for GraphRAG

    cs.CL 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A new GraphRAG evaluation framework using graph-grounded questions and bias-correction yields much smaller win rates than earlier reports, casting doubt on reported GraphRAG gains.

  5. LLM as Effective Streaming Processor: Bridging Streaming-Batch Mismatches with Group Position Encoding

    cs.CL 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Streaming LLMs need only fix the input-attention mismatch; group position encoding (source and target positions numbered separately) removes the need for re-encoding and outperforms specialized streaming baselines.

  6. Generalised Probabilistic Modelling and Improved Uncertainty Estimation in Comparative LLM-as-a-judge

    cs.AI 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A generalised Product-of-Experts framework with a new 'probability of reordering' selection metric that reduces the number of LLM comparisons needed for ranking by about 50%.

  7. LLM Sensitivity Evaluation Framework for Clinical Diagnosis

    cs.CL 2025-04 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    An evaluation framework and dataset show that GPT-4 and other LLMs frequently fail to adjust diagnoses when key patient information is perturbed, achieving only 5.28% accuracy on such changed cases.
