arXiv:2607. 28801v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Benchmark datasets are central to evaluating Large Language Models (LLMs), yet they are typically conceived as monolithic tasks, obscuring substantial variation in the demands of individual samples.

The paper introduces Active Testing, a framework that selects the most informative test samples for annotation in NLP, aiming to reduce human effort while accurately estimating model performance. Experiments across 18 datasets and 4 embedding strategies show up to 95% annotation savings with less than 1% loss in performance estimation accuracy. The authors also propose an adaptive stopping criterion to determine the optimal number of samples without a predefined budget.
