Chinese Competitive Debating Dataset and Benchmark

The paper introduces a Chinese competitive debating dataset and benchmark, comprising 148 fully adjudicated matches with 2,698 stages and 20,542 exchange units, all annotated by 120 professional judges using a shared rubric. It offers manually verified transcripts, segmentation, and preserved scores, votes, and rationales, enabling evaluation of large language models on winner-tendency prediction, stage-score prediction, and best-debater prediction. Zero‑shot experiments show the best models achieve 66.2% winner‑prediction accuracy, a 0.250 Pearson correlation for stage scores, and 56.8% best‑debater accuracy.

Evaluating Language Models in Realistic Conversational Contexts

The paper introduces UPHELD, a large benchmark of human-to-human dialogues written by professional script writers, featuring realistic turn densities and over 36,000 per-turn human annotations. It evaluates existing automatic metrics and LLM-as-a-judge methods, finding them unreliable against expert human judgment. Using UPHELD, the authors develop a Mixture-of-Judges framework that improves correlation with human assessments by about 30%.

Toward Robust LLM-Based Judges: Taxonomic Bias Evaluation and Debiasing Optimization

The paper introduces JudgeBiasBench, a benchmark that systematically quantifies judgment biases in large language model (LLM)-based judges across four dimensions and 12 bias types. It evaluates both generative and discriminative judges, revealing significant bias patterns that undermine reliability. The authors propose bias-aware training—reinforcement learning for generative judges and contrastive learning for discriminative judges—to reduce these biases while maintaining evaluation performance.

TTLab at Daleel 2026: STAR-Ar, Sequence Tagging for Argument Recognition in Arabic

The paper introduces STAR‑Ar, a BERT‑BiLSTM‑CRF model designed for the Daleel 2026 Arabic argument mining shared task. It treats argument discourse unit detection and classification as a token‑level sequence labeling problem, achieving an F1‑score of 72.69 on validation and 73.7 on test data. Analysis shows that models trained only on editorial texts perform worse than those trained on debates, mainly due to the smaller editorial dataset.
