WordPolo: Evaluating Language Models Through Iterative Semantic Feedback
WordPolo is a word‑finding task that evaluates language models by having them guess an unknown target word and receive semantic similarity feedback. Participants start with no knowledge, make iterative guesses, and receive distance scores that guide them through semantic space. The study tests recent LLMs, LRMs, humans, and a heuristic on 1,500 puzzles, revealing that while solve rates vary widely, many models make meaningful progress and exhibit human‑like strategies, highlighting the importance of assessing reasoning processes, not just final accuracy.

Decoupled Analysis-Judging: An Automated Creativity Evaluator Using LLMs in Complex Multi-step Creativity Tasks
The paper introduces CreaEval, an automated creativity evaluator designed for complex multi-step tasks (CGPST). It separates the evaluation process into two phases: a memory‑augmented analysis that transforms responses into structured evidence, and an evidence‑based judging step that scores without seeing raw outputs. Experiments show CreaEval outperforms existing baselines by an average of 22.74% across CGPST and two simpler creativity tasks.
