The paper introduces Dual-Seed Comparison (DSC), a protocol that uses two independent LLM-generated seeds to reduce systematic bias in probabilistic sampling. DSC constructs a bit sequence from the character-level ordinal values of the seeds, normalizes it into a pseudo-uniform variate, and maps it to the target distribution via the inverse cumulative distribution function. Empirical results show DSC outperforms existing methods in 96% of evaluated settings and enhances distributional control in tasks like MCQ generation and attribute-constrained text-to-image prompting.

TACTICS is a method for selecting evaluation samples in machine translation that explicitly optimizes for coverage of rare linguistic categories, document-level coherence, and distributional fidelity to the full corpus. It builds a hierarchical taxonomy from a locale style guide, classifies segments, and chooses a fixed-budget subset that better represents the full range of phenomena a system must handle. Compared to random, lexical, or embedding-based selection, TACTICS improves coverage of rare categories and yields more accurate system rankings with fewer segments.

Evaluation of Computer-Use Agents (CUAs) is often limited to the final deliverables they create (at the end of hundreds of steps) and assessed with functional verifiers, as seen in OSWorld. However, s...
VisInteract introduces a new paradigm for Text-to-Visualization that treats imperfect user queries as a dynamic, interaction-driven problem, requiring the system to recover true intent through multi-turn dialogue. The authors present VisInteract-Bench, the first benchmark for interactive Text-to-Vis, featuring controlled imperfection injection, a realistic user agent, and dual-perspective automated evaluation. They also propose Vis-MCTS, an enhanced Monte Carlo Tree Search algorithm that incorporates progressive widening, cross-rollout information sharing, and dimension-aware reward decomposition, achieving significant performance gains over existing baselines.

The paper argues that user feedback from real interactions is a valuable learning signal for Large Language Models (LLMs), contrary to recent claims that it is too noisy to use. By creating synthetic data with a clear ground truth and testing on naturalistic data, the authors show that revisions guided by user feedback fix targeted issues more often than baseline revisions. They further reveal that current evaluation methods bias against feedback‑driven improvements, as judges tend to overlook genuinely corrected responses and favor inferior baselines.

arXiv:2606. 27226v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Evaluating LLM outputs remains a major bottleneck in NLP: human evaluation is expensive and slow, lexical metrics correlate poorly with human judgments on open-ended generation, and holistic LLM judges often produce opaque scores that are hard to debug.
