Challenge: Typical evaluations of Large Language Models (LLMs) report a single accuracy metric per dataset, often derived from an optimized setup.
Approach: They propose a framework for non-adversarial evaluation of large language models that evaluates models by repeatedly testing them on the same benchmarks in various setups.
Outcome: The proposed framework evaluates models by repeatedly testing them on the same benchmarks in various setups to give a realistic estimate of their accuracy and consistency.

Evaluating the Consistency of LLM Evaluators (2025.coling-main)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Large language models (LLMs) have shown potential as general evaluators with the benefits of speed and cost.
Approach: They conduct extensive studies on the two aspects of consistency in LLM evaluations, Self-Consistency (SC) and Inter-scale Consistency on different scoring scales and criterion granularity with open-source and proprietary models.
Outcome: The results show that strong proprietary models are not necessarily consistent evaluators, highlighting the importance of considering consistency in assessing the capability of LLM evalueators.

Examining the robustness of LLM evaluation to the distributional assumptions of benchmarks (2024.acl-long)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Using benchmarks to evaluate Large Language Models is inconsistent with the assumption that the test prompts within a benchmark represent a random sample from some real-world distribution of interest.
Approach: They propose to use a model's average performance across the test prompts of a benchmark to evaluate its performance.
Outcome: The results show that the correlation between model performance across test prompts and the test prompt can change model rankings on major benchmarks.

Approach: They develop a ConsisEval benchmark to evaluate LLMs' inconsistency . they find that LLM models can paradoxically fail at easier problems .
Outcome: The proposed model achieves highest consistency score but inconsistent to specific questions due to distraction by redundant information, misinterpretation of questions, etc.
Model Consistency as a Cheap yet Predictive Proxy for LLM Elo Scores (2025.emnlp-main)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: a rapid proliferation of large language models (LLMs) makes it difficult to assess which models are best suited for specific tasks.
Approach: They find that the consistency of an LLM's Elo score is 91% correlated with its own human-produced Elo scores.
Outcome: a new method to evaluate large language models is needed to scale with the increasing number of models released . current best way is to measure model's Elo score by comparing it to other models in contests . a simple proxy for Elo scores can be computed cheaply without human data or prior knowledge .
