Challenge: In this position paper, we argue that human evaluation of generative large language models (LLMs) should be a multidisciplinary undertaking that draws upon the insights from disciplines such as user experience research and human behavioral psychology to ensure that the results are reliable.
Approach: They propose a framework for human evaluation of generative large language models that takes into account usability, aesthetics and cognitive biases.
Outcome: The proposed framework is based on the framework proposed by Deutsch and alnajjar . it is aimed at ensuring that human evaluation is accurate in the age of generative AI .
