Large Language Models (LLMs) as judges across various scenarios such as assessing model responses is becoming an increasingly accepted paradigm. However, existing judgment approaches often rely on trained judgers using fixed preference data, which tend to overlook diverse user preferences and struggle to adapt to real-world human-AI dialogue scenarios.

PADM'E is a method for synthesizing preference‑aligned data to meta‑evaluate language‑model (LM) evaluators of agentic behaviors. It reframes meta‑evaluation as a preference judgment problem, generating criterion‑based data with small LMs and no human involvement. In a prototype, PADM'E produced 1,000 samples across four domains and three criteria, and human validation showed agreement with human judgment rising from 73% to 85% compared to a naive baseline.

The paper introduces DECO, a diagnostic framework that factorises content into independent moderation criteria, allowing controlled evaluation of large language models (LLMs) at the criterion level. Using pairwise evaluation across four datasets and four LLMs, the authors find that high aggregate benchmark scores can mask significant failures when decisions hinge on specific content aspects required by individual criteria. The study underscores that aggregated labels do not guarantee reliable criterion-conditioned performance, highlighting the need for evaluation methods that explicitly assess this behavior.

arXiv:2606. 26429v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Current LLM evaluation relies on two complementary but often disconnected signals: static benchmarks with objective correctness labels and arena-style preference data that better reflect open-ended user interactions.
