Pairwise Preference Llm As JudgeAutomatic Metrics Coding
  • Large Language Model judges are widely used to rank texts and text-generating systems through pairwise comparison, and their reliability is typically assessed via three proxies: position bias, transitivity, and pairwise agreement (self- or…
  • We formalize this argument and validate it in a controlled simulation and on two human-rated corpora: the proxies correlate only weakly with ranking accuracy against gold, and their predictive component concentrates in the far-gap regime.

  • Centering better resolves subset diversity but loses this useful token-wise preference, revealing that diversity and distinctiveness are entangled in the raw geometry.
  • Based on this analysis, we propose the Centered Geometry Pruner (Cen-Prune), which measures subset diversity using centered cosine similarity while retaining raw-space distinctiveness as a complementary token-wise preference.
