When Metrics Disagree: A Meta-Analysis of Knowledge-Graph-Completion Model Benchmarking

arXiv:2606. 10287v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Evaluating Knowledge Graph Completion (KGC) models remains challenging because standard assessment relies on isolated rank-based metrics such as MRR, Hits$@$k, and Mean Rank, which often produce conflicting model orderings across datasets.

Generalized Rank-based Evaluation for Knowledge Graph Completion: Perspectives, Framework, and Analyses

arXiv:2606. 08921v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Knowledge graph completion (KGC) aims to predict missing facts from an observed knowledge graph (KG), playing a crucial role in a wide range of real-world applications such as drug discovery, recommender systems, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG).

One Capability or Many? Structural and Predictive Tests of Benchmark Validity Disagree About Economic Benchmarks for Frontier AI

The paper examines whether economic benchmarks used in frontier AI leaderboards measure a distinct capability or merely reflect general test-taking ability. Using a structural factor analysis and a predictive leave-one-benchmark-out test on a snapshot of 421 model configurations, the authors find that economic benchmarks do not form a separate factor but are better predicted by a multi‑factor representation than by a single general index, especially for linear learners. They argue that construct validity should be evaluated with both structural and predictive tests and provide a two‑test protocol along with data and code.

Coresets Before Score Sets: Evaluation-Unsupervised Prompt Subset Selection for LLM Benchmarks

arXiv:2607. 09739v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study LLM benchmark coreset selection: selecting a small subset of prompts over multiple benchmarks whose induced model scores and rankings approximate those obtained from the full benchmark suite.

Ranked by the Matcher: A Reproducibility Audit of Knowledge Graph Extraction from Threat Reports

The paper audits the reproducibility of knowledge‑graph extraction from threat reports by re‑implementing matching rules for only five of twelve systems and re‑scoring ten system outputs under eight protocols. The audit shows that different matching protocols can reverse most pairwise system rankings and that a fixed prediction set can vary from 0.16 to 0.70 F1. The authors also build CTIForge to isolate validation effects, finding that validation changes precision across backbones and increases entity‑type disputes, and they release the full pipeline, protocol suite, and audit records.

KGCQual: An Interpretable Framework for Evaluating the Knowledge Graph Construction Quality from Text

arXiv:2607. 10212v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Knowledge Graphs (KGs) are increasingly constructed through automated extraction pipelines; however, such systems often introduce spurious or incomplete triples, which degrade downstream performance.

Lost in Aggregation: How Benchmarks Overlook Irreplaceable Model Strengths

The paper argues that typical tabular machine learning benchmarks, which aggregate results by averaging scores or ranks, can hide which models are essential for achieving the best performance on specific datasets. It proposes evaluating models against a data‑centric peak performance frontier, classifying them as irreplaceable, sufficient, redundant, or fallible based on their position relative to other models. Applying this to the TabArena benchmark shows that common aggregation metrics mainly capture consistency and failure avoidance, but fail to reflect dataset‑specific strengths, leading to a misalignment between aggregate rewards and true model utility.

KGCQual: An Interpretable Framework for Evaluating the Knowledge Graph Construction Quality from Text

Knowledge Graphs (KGs) are increasingly constructed through automated extraction pipelines; however, such systems often introduce spurious or incomplete triples, which degrade downstream performance. Existing evaluation practices rely heavily on task-specific metrics or small-scale manual verification, offering limited insight into the structural and semantic fidelity of extracted graphs.
