TSQueryBench is a synthetic benchmark comprising 500 time‑series instances and 10 query types, each paired with correct, partially correct, and incorrect natural‑language explanations. The study evaluates six large language models on explanation generation, ranking, scoring, and anomaly detection, revealing that models often fail to generate numerically correct explanations yet can reliably identify or score correct ones. These findings suggest that rubric‑guided LLM evaluation is more dependable than generation for numerically grounded time‑series reasoning.

WaveTLM introduces a unified compiler‑executor framework that transforms natural‑language requests into typed task states and reliable numerical or structured outputs for time‑series tasks. The authors present ExecTS‑QA, a benchmark covering forecasting, imputation, classification, anomaly detection, and waveform analysis, and show that a single WaveTLM checkpoint achieves 99.40% contract‑valid coverage versus 37.83% for a string‑first baseline while maintaining balanced predictive performance. Additional evaluations on SciTS, TSQA, IRTS‑ToolBench, and ARFBench demonstrate the model’s transferability.

The paper introduces a lifecycle framework for LLM-as-a-Judge systems used to evaluate recommendation explanations at Netflix. It outlines four phases—Birth, Training, Deployment, and Monitoring—detailing how each stage addresses specific technical and operational challenges. The authors report that after five weeks of A/B testing, judge-aligned explanations increased novel content viewing and successful browse-to-play sessions without quality takedowns.
