We introduce TechQA, a domain-adaptation question answering dataset for the technical support domain. The TechQA corpus highlights two real-world issues from the automated customer support domain. First, it contains actual questions posed by users on a technical forum, rather than questions generated specifically for a competition or a task. Second, it has a real-world size -- 600 training, 310 dev, and 490 evaluation question/answer pairs -- thus reflecting the cost of creating large labeled datasets with actual data. Consequently, TechQA is meant to stimulate research in domain adaptation rather than being a resource to build QA systems from scratch. The dataset was obtained by crawling the IBM Developer and IBM DeveloperWorks forums for questions with accepted answers that appear in a published IBM Technote---a technical document that addresses a specific technical issue. We also release a collection of the 801,998 publicly available Technotes as of April 4, 2019 as a companion resource that might be used for pretraining, to learn representations of the IT domain language.

  1. CLEAR: Error Analysis via LLM-as-a-Judge Made Easy

    cs.CL 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    CLEAR converts per-instance LLM judge critiques into system-level error issues with prevalence counts and an interactive dashboard for exploration.

  2. When the Judge Changes, So Does the Measurement: Auditing LLM-as-Judge Reliability

    cs.CL 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Judge upgrades are not interchangeable: only Qwen3 1.7B→4B yields robust adjacent gains, MiniMax adjacent releases do not, and stronger judges reduce but do not remove bias or correlated jury errors.

  3. DiffLoRA: Differential Low-Rank Adapters for Large Language Models

    cs.CL 2025-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    DiffLoRA, a low-rank adapter variant of differential attention, generally underperforms LoRA but shows gains on HumanEval and multi-value needle retrieval.

  4. Hard Negative Mining for Domain-Specific Retrieval in Enterprise Systems

    cs.IR 2025-05 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    A reranker fine-tuned on hard negatives selected by two cosine-distance criteria outperforms older negative sampling methods on enterprise and domain-specific retrieval benchmarks.
