Automatic Metrics General
  • Through comprehensive experiments, we show that a reference-guided approach substantially improves the accuracy of less capable LLM-judges using references from frontier models; stronger LLM-judges can also be enhanced by high-quality…
  • Building on these improved judges, we demonstrate the utility of high-quality references in alignment tuning, where LLMs guided with references are used as judges to self-improve.

Pairwise Preference Automatic Metrics General
  • Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used as judges to replace costly human preference labels in pairwise evaluation.
  • To provide SCOPE with a bias-neutral uncertainty signal, we introduce Bidirectional Preference Entropy (BPE), which queries the judge under both response positions, aggregates the implied preference probabilities to enforce invariance to…

Pairwise Preference Llm As Judge Coding
  • However, building a benchmark for LLM-generated web apps remains challenging due to the need for real-world user requirements, generalizable evaluation metrics without relying on ground-truth implementations or test cases, and interpretable…
  • To address these challenges, we introduce WebCoderBench, the first real-world-collected, generalizable, and interpretable benchmark for web app generation.

  • Large Language Model (LLM)-based Collective Intelligence (CI) presents a promising approach to overcoming the data wall and continuously boosting the capabilities of LLM agents.
  • To address this gap, we introduce OpenHospital, an interactive arena where physician agents can evolve CI through interactions with patient agents.

Pairwise Preference Automatic Metrics Math
  • This paper proposes Group-relative Implicit Fine-Tuning (GIFT), a reinforcement learning framework for aligning large language models (LLMs) that unifies on-policy optimization with implicit preference learning.
  • Results show that GIFT converges faster, generalizes better with reduced overfitting, and outperforms GRPO on mathematical reasoning benchmarks (GSM8K, MATH, AIME) as well as generation tasks' evaluations (AlpacaEval and Arena-Hard).

  • Reasoning LLMs-as-Judges, which can benefit from inference-time scaling, provide a promising path for extending the success of reasoning models to non-verifiable domains where the output correctness/quality cannot be directly checked.
  • However, while reasoning judges have shown better performance on static evaluation benchmarks, their effectiveness in actual policy training has not been systematically examined.

Pairwise Preference General
  • Self-play preference optimization has emerged as a prominent paradigm for aligning large language models (LLMs).
  • It typically involves a language model to generate on-policy responses for prompts and a reward model (RM) to guide the selection of chosen and rejected responses, which can be further trained with direct preference optimization (DPO).

  • To bridge this gap, we propose Meta-Weighted Adaptive Preference Optimization (MetaAPO), a novel framework that dynamically couples data generation with model training.
  • Experiments on AlpacaEval 2, Arena-Hard and MT-Bench demonstrate that MetaAPO consistently outperforms existing preference optimization approaches across various settings, while reducing 42% in online annotation costs.

Pairwise Preference General
  • There are currently two main paradigms for evaluating large language models (LLMs), reference-based evaluation and preference-based evaluation.
  • The first, carried over from the evaluation of machine learning models in general, relies on pre-defined task instances, for which reference task executions are available.

  • In this work, we argue that the evaluation and ranking of large language models should control for the randomization underpinning their functioning.
  • We find that, across multiple benchmark datasets, coupled autoregressive generation requires up to 75% fewer samples to reach the same conclusions as vanilla autoregressive generation.
