Pairwise PreferenceRubric Rating General
  • We present LFQA-HP-1M, a large-scale dataset comprising 1.3M human pairwise preference annotations for LFQA.
  • We propose nine rubrics for answer quality evaluation, and show that simple linear models based on these features perform comparably to state-of-the-art LLM evaluators.
Toward Expert Investment Teams:A Multi-Agent LLM System with Fine-Grained Trading Tasks

Kunihiro Miyazaki, Takanobu Kawahara, Stephen Roberts, Stefan Zohren · Feb 26, 2026

Pairwise Preference Multi Agent General
  • While mainstream approaches deploy multi-agent systems mimicking analyst and manager roles, they often rely on abstract instructions that overlook the intricacies of real-world workflows, which can lead to degraded inference performance and…
  • Therefore, we propose a multi-agent LLM trading framework that explicitly decomposes investment analysis into fine-grained tasks, rather than providing coarse-grained instructions.

Pairwise Preference General
  • Inspired by Humphrey's ipsundrum hypothesis, we implement ReCoN-Ipsundrum, an inspectable agent that extends a ReCoN state machine with a recurrent persistence loop over sensory salience Ns and an optional affect proxy reporting…
  • Across fixed-parameter ablations (ReCoN, Ipsundrum, Ipsundrum+affect), we operationalize Humphrey's qualiaphilia (preference for sensory experience for its own sake) as a familiarity-controlled scenic-over-dull route choice.
Test-Time Scaling with Diffusion Language Models via Reward-Guided Stitching

Roy Miles, Aysim Toker, Andreea-Maria Oncescu, Songcen Xu, Jiankang Deng, Ismail Elezi · Feb 26, 2026

Citations: 0
Automatic Metrics Long Horizon MathCoding
  • This modular pipeline separates exploration (diffusion) from evaluation and solution synthesis, avoiding monolithic unified hybrids while preserving broad search.
  • Across math reasoning benchmarks, we find that step-level recombination is most beneficial on harder problems, and ablations highlight the importance of the final AR solver in converting stitched but imperfect rationales into accurate…
Decentralized Ranking Aggregation: Gossip Algorithms for Borda and Copeland Consensus

Moral Preferences of LLMs Under Directed Contextual Influence

Phil Blandfort, Tushar Karayil, Urja Pawar, Robert Graham, Alex McKenzie, Dmitrii Krasheninnikov · Feb 26, 2026

Citations: 0
Pairwise Preference General
  • Moral benchmarks for LLMs typically use context-free prompts, implicitly assuming stable preferences.
  • We introduce a pilot evaluation harness for directed contextual influence in trolley-problem-style moral triage: for each demographic factor, we apply matched, direction-flipped contextual influences that differ only in which group they…
Hierarchy-of-Groups Policy Optimization for Long-Horizon Agentic Tasks

Shuo He, Lang Feng, Qi Wei, Xin Cheng, Lei Feng, Bo An · Feb 26, 2026

  • Group-based reinforcement learning (RL), such as GRPO, has advanced the capabilities of large language models on long-horizon agentic tasks.
  • To address the issue, in this paper, we propose Hierarchy-of-Groups Policy Optimization (HGPO) for long-horizon agentic tasks.

  • NLD-P is formalized as a modular control abstraction that separates provenance, constraint logic, task content, and post-generation evaluation, encoded directly in natural language without reliance on external orchestration code.
  • All conceptual framing, methodological claims, and final revisions were directed, reviewed, and approved by the human author under a documented human-in-the-loop protocol.

  • Although initially formulated for human truth-telling under asymmetric stakes, the same phase-dynamic architecture extends to AI systems operating under policy constraints and alignment filters.
  • The framework therefore provides a unified structural account of both human silence under pressure and AI preference-driven distortion.

Citations: 0
Pairwise Preference Automatic Metrics General
  • Image captioning remains a fundamental task for vision language understanding, yet ground-truth supervision still relies predominantly on human-annotated references.
  • Because human annotations reflect subjective preferences and expertise, ground-truth captions are often incomplete or even incorrect, which in turn limits caption models.
