Beyond Benchmarks: LLM Evaluation with an Anthropomorphic and Lifecycle-oriented Roadmap

The paper argues that large language models (LLMs) are evaluated too narrowly, focusing on isolated technical metrics rather than holistic, developmental, and societal aspects. It proposes a diagnostic ontology that links evaluation dimensions to the LLM training pipeline, turning evaluation into a root‑cause analysis tool. The authors introduce an anthropomorphic framework—IQ, PQ, EQ, and VQ—to assess LLM capabilities, operationalize it with a modular architecture, and validate it through meta‑analysis of over 200 benchmarks, outlining key challenges and future directions.

MAVEN: A Macro-Societal Value Evaluation Framework of Multimodal Content with Compact Aligned Evaluators

MAVEN is a hierarchical framework for evaluating whether multimodal content aligns with macro‑societal values such as peace, justice, and freedom. It organizes values into six primary dimensions and 72 secondary indicators, enabling multi‑level quantitative scoring. The authors build a human‑verified multimodal benchmark, a soft‑match metric, and propose efficient evaluator optimization techniques, demonstrating that a compact 2B evaluator performs comparably to larger models and approaches state‑of‑the‑art closed‑source VLMs.

ZenGen: Social Mind for LLMs

ZenGen is a comprehensive framework designed to develop socially intelligent large language models (LLMs). It introduces SoMBench, a psychology‑grounded benchmark with 3 primary and 17 secondary dimensions, and shows that current LLMs perform poorly on social cognition tasks. ZenGen combines supervised fine‑tuning, on‑policy distillation, and rubric‑based reinforcement learning to improve internalization, while Actio provides deployment‑time grounding with typed supports such as PRISM, Starling, SAGE, and gated RAG, yielding significant performance gains across benchmarks.
