Why This Matters For Eval Research

  • 27.3% of papers report explicit human-feedback signals, led by pairwise preferences.
  • automatic metrics appears in 100% of papers in this hub.
  • MMLU is a recurring benchmark anchor for cross-paper comparisons in this page.

Protocol Takeaways

  • Quality-control reporting is sparse in this slice; prioritize papers with explicit calibration or adjudication steps.
  • Rater context is mostly domain experts, and annotation is commonly multi-dimensional rubrics; use this to scope replication staffing.
  • Stratify by benchmark (MMLU vs Onemillion-Bench) before comparing methods.

Benchmark Interpretation

  • MMLU appears in 9.1% of hub papers (1/11); use this cohort for benchmark-matched comparisons.
  • Onemillion-Bench appears in 9.1% of hub papers (1/11); use this cohort for benchmark-matched comparisons.

Metric Interpretation

  • accuracy is reported in 36.4% of hub papers (4/11); compare with a secondary metric before ranking methods.
  • cost is reported in 36.4% of hub papers (4/11); compare with a secondary metric before ranking methods.
