Experiments on three multimodal MoE models across six benchmarks demonstrate consistent improvements, with gains of up to 3.17% on complex visual reasoning tasks.
Across five model configurations, two families, and three benchmarks, we find that 52--88% of chain-of-thought tokens are produced after the answer is recoverable from a partial prefix.
Conventional evaluation methods rely heavily on annotation-intensive reference standards or incomplete structured data, limiting feasibility at population scale.
Using judge-evaluated outputs as references, the primary LLM achieved an F1 score of 0.80 under relaxed matching criteria.
As Large Language Model (LLM) capabilities advance, the demand for high-quality annotation of exponentially increasing text corpora has outpaced human capacity, leading to the widespread adoption of LLMs in automatic evaluation and…
However, proprietary LLMs often exhibit systematic biases that diverge from human expert consensus, lacks reproducibility, and raises data privacy concerns.
We present a systematic evaluation of instruction-tuned LLMs across three open essay-scoring datasets (ASAP 2.0, ELLIPSE, and DREsS) that cover both holistic and analytic scoring.
Our results show that strong open-weight models achieve moderate to high agreement with humans on holistic scoring (Quadratic Weighted Kappa about 0.6), but this does not transfer uniformly to analytic scoring.
We introduce TrACE (Trajectorical Adaptive Compute via agrEement), a training-free controller that allocates LLM calls adaptively across agent timesteps by measuring inter-rollout action agreement.
We evaluate TrACE against greedy decoding and fixed-budget self-consistency (SC-4, SC-8) on two benchmarks spanning single-step reasoning (GSM8K, n=50) and multi-step household navigation (MiniHouse, n=30), using a Qwen 2.5 3B Instruct…

A board-certified radiologist and a radiology resident independently performed blinded pairwise evaluations across 4 criteria: terminology accuracy, readability, overall quality, and radiologist-style authenticity.
Radiologist 2 rated readability as equivalent in 75% of cases and favored the human-edited translation for overall quality (40% vs 21%).
In large language model (LLM) agents, reasoning trajectories are treated as reliable internal beliefs for guiding actions and updating memory.
In this paper, inspired by the vulnerability of unfaithful intermediate reasoning trajectories, we propose Self-Audited Verified Reasoning (SAVeR), a novel framework that enforces verification over internal belief states within the agent…
