CHASE: How Content Ecosystems Are Reshaped When Ranking Is the Only Target

Simulation Env General
  • CHASE then iterates ranking, feature discrimination, rewriting, and evaluation over 20 rounds across different domains.
  • Quality-ranking alignment decreases in all six domains: from R0 to R20, the change in Spearman's rho ranges from -0.107 to -0.018, with a mean change of -0.068, which means documents closer to the ranking feature profile become less aligned…

Automatic Metrics MathCoding
  • We introduce TokEval, a framework of tokenizer evaluation metrics that goes beyond standard measures like fertility and compression rate to capture linguistically and structurally meaningful properties, e.g., UTF-8 character boundary…
  • We evaluate the resulting models on bits-per-byte (a tokenizer-agnostic version of perplexity) and several benchmarks, spanning linguistic understanding, mathematical reasoning, and code generation.

  • We introduce PACE, a framework that constructs proxy benchmarks by selecting instances from existing non-agentic evaluations whose aggregate scores most reliably predict model performances on agentic benchmarks.
  • We apply PACE to the 4 target agentic benchmarks in this paper, which yields PACE-Bench, the concrete proxy benchmark that we evaluate in the paper.

Uncertainty Quantification for Computer-Use Agents: A Benchmark across Vision-Language Models and GUI Grounding Datasets

Automatic Metrics General
  • Computer-use agents turn vision-language model (VLM) predictions into executable GUI clicks, so reliable uncertainty estimates are essential for rejection, calibration, miss-severity ranking, and spatial safety regions.
  • We present Argus, a cross-regime benchmark for post-hoc UQ in single-step executable GUI grounding: a 27-method open-weight matrix over 4 VLM agents and 4 datasets, plus an 8-method closed-source matrix across 3 frontier vendors where…

  • Therefore, we present Seeded Elimination with Adaptive LLM-as-a-Meta-Judge, a self-improving evaluation protocol for extracting latent ranking signal from saturated benchmarks.
  • We evaluate SEAL on multiple saturated benchmarks covering code generation, mathematical reasoning, knowledge-intensive question answering, and tool-use agent task completion.

  • Existing CRS benchmarks primarily evaluate systems with a single Recall@k score over entity mentions, and tourism-specific resources add spatial or knowledge-graph context, yet none of them couple multi-turn recommendation with verbatim…
  • This leaves an evaluation gap for tourism recommendation that is simultaneously trustworthy, verifiable, and adaptive: recommend the right point of interest (POI) for multi-aspect preferences (such as cuisine, price, atmosphere, walking…

  • 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…

  • Language model agents reason from scratch on every query, discarding their chain of thought after each run.
  • Unlike prior memory that retrieves distilled strategies by query similarity, reasoning graphs enable evidence-centric feedback: for every candidate item, the system traverses all incoming evaluation edges across prior runs to surface how…

  • Tracking the internal states of large language models across conversations is important for safety, interpretability, and model welfare, yet current methods are limited.
  • Taking inspiration from human psychology, where numeric self-report is a widely used tool for tracking internal states, we ask whether LLMs' own numeric self-reports can track probe-defined emotive states over time.
