Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly adopted for network automation, yet their output quality and inference cost can vary substantially across LLM families. We present HuGLEN, a stepwise evaluation pipeline that uses an LLM-as-a-judge together with a small set of expert ratings to enable scalable and reproducible comparison of candidate LLMs, and to rank them using a quality efficiency score (QES).

arXiv:2607. 17467v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Few-shot Test-Time Domain Adaptation (FSTT-DA) seeks to adapt models to novel domains using only a handful of unlabeled target samples.
By Siobhan Reid, Zhixiang Chi, Li Gu, Omid Reza Heidari, Ziqiang Wang, Yang Wang
With growing privacy and portability concerns, source-free domain adaptation requires only a source pre-trained model and an unlabeled target domain, allowing for effective adaptation to the target data. Most existing self-training methods focus on selecting and exploiting samples with reliable predictions, often neglecting others.
arXiv:2606. 08691v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modern data-driven applications increasingly involve learning from multiple heterogeneous sources, where a target dataset is limited but related information is available across domains.
