Why This Matters For Eval Research

  • 18.2% of papers report explicit human-feedback signals, led by critique/edit feedback.
  • automatic metrics appears in 81.8% of papers in this hub.
  • BFCL 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 unspecified rater pools, and annotation is commonly trajectory-level annotation; use this to scope replication staffing.
  • Stratify by benchmark (BFCL vs Finmcp-Bench) before comparing methods.

Benchmark Interpretation

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

Metric Interpretation

  • accuracy is reported in 54.5% of hub papers (6/11); compare with a secondary metric before ranking methods.
  • cost is reported in 18.2% of hub papers (2/11); compare with a secondary metric before ranking methods.
