Benchmarking LLM-as-a-Judge for Long-Form Output Evaluation

The paper introduces LongJudgeBench, a benchmark designed to evaluate large language models (LLMs) acting as judges for long-form text generation. It highlights that long-form evaluation requires complex, document-level assessments beyond simple length, such as organization, coverage, depth, consistency, and scenario-specific quality. Experiments show a significant reliability gap among current LLM judges, indicating instability across scenarios and limited effectiveness of rubrics or references.

Writerslogic at the CLEF 2026 SimpleText Track: Multi-Candidate LLM Simplification and Stacked Complexity Spotting

The Writerslogic team participated in the CLEF 2026 SimpleText shared task, tackling both text simplification (Task 1) and complexity spotting (Task 2). For simplification, they built a multi‑candidate pipeline with GPT‑4o‑mini, selecting the best candidate via a reference‑free heuristic, and their Claude Sonnet 4 submission achieved a SARI of 47.43 and BLEU of 14.21, ranking third overall on the Task 1 leaderboard. For complexity spotting, they fine‑tuned a DeBERTa‑v3‑large NLI model on 350 K labeled pairs, achieving a macro F1 of 0.8081 (0.8085 in an ensemble) on binary over‑generation identification and 0.804 accuracy on multi‑class error classification, placing them second among unique teams.

SCX Router: Streaming Zero-Shot Model Selection with a Decoder-KV Classifier and a Real-World Task Ontology

The paper introduces SCX Router, a lightweight GLiClass-based model selector that assigns suitability scores to inference-time language models without autoregressive generation. It uses a 0.6B-parameter Qwen3 decoder with a shallow bidirectional scorer, preserving a text-only key–value cache across sessions and predicting task attributes such as type, difficulty, and expected output length. The authors build a comprehensive task ontology with 23 families, 115 types, and 1,173 synthetic examples, generating 150,000 verifier-scored tasks to train the router, which outperforms baseline models on LiveBench subsets with a top‑1 score of 0.707 versus 0.696 for the strongest fixed model.

pro-team at LLMs4OL 2026 Tasks Flagship and Reuse: Retrieval-Augmented Generation and Vocabulary-Constrained Filtering for Ontology Learning

The pro-team at LLMs4OL 2026 presented a system for ontology learning that tackles both the End-to-End Flagship Task (Task A) and the Ontology Extension Reuse Task (Task B). Their approach uses an offline retrieval‑augmented few‑shot prompting pipeline with Qwen2.5‑14B‑Instruct and MiniLM‑L6‑v2 for retrieval, selecting top‑5 examples for Task A and top‑2 for Task B, and applies a left‑truncated context‑windowing strategy to keep task instructions in long prompts. For Task B, generated triples are filtered deterministically by a vocabulary constraint, keeping triples that involve at least one term from the closed vocabulary and removing duplicates of the initial ontology, achieving high scores in Semantic Graph Similarity, Term‑Typing F1, and Taxonomy Discovery F1, though no non‑taxonomic relations were extracted.
