A focused feed for RLHF, preference data, rater protocols, agent evaluation, and LLM-as-judge research.
Every paper includes structured metadata for quick triage.
Policy-adherent tool-calling agents in customer-service domains must maintain task states across turns while calling tools and obeying domain policies.
Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) are increasingly deployed in personally and societally consequential settings, yet the visual cues that shape how these models judge people remain poorly understood.
To align a Large Language Model (LLM), most existing methods collect explicit human feedback and train a reward model to predict the human preference based on the response text.
While LLMs represent a scalable solution for assisting humans in the generation of counterspeech for both threats, zero-shot models frequently generate repetitive and vague responses, underscoring the need for high-quality examples to steer…
PsyScore comprises three key modules: a Trait-Adaptive Neural IRT Scorer that incorporates the Graded Partial Credit Model (GPCM) into a neural architecture, enabling the precise estimation of student ability while maintaining psychometric…
We introduce the Meaning Intelligence Framework (MIF), a nine-dimension annotation and evaluation schema for Nigerian public discourse that separates surface sentiment from true communicative intent.
Psychological instruments designed for humans are increasingly used to assign large language models (LLMs) stable psychological profiles that affect their usability, safety assessment, and use as proxies for human participants in research.

We present AdversaBench, an end-to-end red-teaming pipeline that mutates seed prompts with five structured operators, queries a target model, and confirms failures through a three-judge panel with a meta-judge tiebreaker.
Third, pairwise judge agreement of 80-87% coexists with near-zero Cohen's kappa due to label skew; category-level disagreement rates are more informative.

We present the largest systematic evaluation of LLM-as-a-Judge to date: 21 judges from nine providers across MT-Bench, JudgeBench, and RewardBench, evaluated under three protocols (agreement, consistency, bias audit) over 118 runs and…
Four findings emerge, consistent across the full cohort, including the April 2026 frontier: kappa deflation between exact match and Cohen's kappa is universal (33--41 pp on MT-Bench), judge rankings shift by up to 14 positions across…
The annotation process combines expert human judgment with model-assisted pre-labeling verified by trained annotators, achieving substantial inter-annotator agreement (Cohens kappa = 0.85).
Multi-agent debate (MAD), and more broadly closed-system reasoning where agents iteratively transform each other's outputs, tends to preserve answer accuracy while degrading the reasoning behind those answers.
An R6 cohort study (Korean n=10x30 FEVER; English n=3x200 SciFact) finds inter-rater Fleiss kappa <= +0.018 with 0.8-1.4 Likert intra-rater shifts across language and domain -- the human agreement that faithfulness metrics have been…
Annotation quality is ensured through a multi-stage framework with three independent annotators and dimension-wise Fleiss Kappa (κ) agreement, yielding reliable and reproducible labels with κ values of 0.82 and 0.88 for structural and…
Statistical analyses demonstrate realistic structural and temporal distributions, while baseline evaluations show that dual-encoder architectures leveraging complementary language-specific representations consistently outperform strong…
To address this problem, this paper proposes a human-machine collaborative framework that integrates human knowledge into the learning process rather than relying solely on data-driven models.
Experiments are conducted on a Vietnamese speech dataset of 2,764 samples across three emotion classes (calm, angry, panic), with high inter-annotator agreement (Fleiss Kappa = 0.8574), ensuring reliable ground truth.
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.
On ELT-Bench, the first benchmark for end-to-end ELT pipeline construction, AI agents initially showed low success rates, suggesting they lacked practical utility.
Second, we develop an Auditor-Corrector methodology that combines scalable LLM-driven root-cause analysis with rigorous human validation (inter-annotator agreement Fleiss' kappa = 0.85) to audit benchmark quality.
Using these guidelines, annotators achieved high agreement in clause segmentation (Fleiss' kappa = 0.80) and moderate agreement in two structural classification tasks (Krippendorff's alpha = 0.41 and 0.45, respectively), one of which is…
Autonomous agents operating in continuous environments must decide not only what to do, but when to act.
High spread indicates a branching, uncertain future and drives the agent to act sooner; low spread signals predictability and permits longer rest intervals.
Expert evaluations further validated the quality of the model's reasoning, with mean scores exceeding 4.0/5.0 for factual accuracy, evidence comprehensiveness, and logical coherence.
Three classifiers (a regex-only detector, a regex-plus-LLM pipeline, and a Claude Sonnet 4 judge) are applied to 10,276 influenced reasoning traces from 12 open-weight models spanning 9 families and 7B to 1T parameters.
The disagreements are systematic: Cohen's kappa ranges from 0.06 ("slight") for sycophancy hints to 0.42 ("moderate") for grader hints, and the asymmetry is pronounced: for sycophancy, 883 cases are classified as faithful by the pipeline…
Results: Against a human majority-vote standard (N=467), the agent achieved 95.8% emergency sensitivity and 88.5% sensitivity for all actionable alerts (85.7% specificity).
In LOO analysis, the agent outperformed every clinician in emergency sensitivity (97.5% vs.
It contains 10,000 samples with linguistic feature annotations across 16 politeness categories and achieves substantial inter-annotator agreement (kappa = 0.703).
We benchmark 40 model configurations, including traditional machine learning, transformer-based models, and large language models.
We quantitatively illustrate that that the level of difficulty for human experts to perform the task of scoring written work of children has no observed statistical effect on LLM performance.
Particularly, we show that some scoring tasks measured as the easiest by human scorers were the hardest for LLMs.
