The paper introduces a knowledge‑graph‑based evaluation framework, S3KG, to assess whether large language models truly understand context in question answering tasks. S3KG combines structural and semantic signals into a single similarity score and is paired with a diagnostic analysis that pinpoints reasoning errors at the triplet level. Across nine benchmarks, the method outperforms existing baselines, achieving up to +7.6 F1 points and an AUROC of 0.973.

IDEAlign introduces a new protocol for evaluating the similarity of large language model (LLM) annotations to expert judgments. It uses pick‑the‑odd‑one‑out tasks to capture expert similarity and benchmarks various similarity methods—including text embeddings, topic models, and LLM-as-a-judge—against these human ratings. Applied to educational datasets, the study finds that most metrics miss nuanced expert dimensions, with LLM-as-a-judge performing best yet still insufficient for full expert alignment.
