arXiv:2606. 07726v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Language Models are typically benchmarked by evaluating every model on every test query.
arXiv:2608. 03437v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While human evaluation is the gold standard in many NLP tasks, it suffers from prohibitive costs and poor scalability.
arXiv:2604. 05859v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We study Contextual Multi-Armed Bandits (CMABs) for non-episodic decision-making problems where the context includes both textual and numerical information (e.
arXiv:2607. 09015v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study contextual bandit problems with correlated arms and access to surrogate reward signals produced by a machine learning model, motivated by applications such as large language model (LLM) routing.
arXiv:2506. 07673v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Large language model (LLM) evaluation is increasingly costly, prompting interest in methods that speed up evaluation by shrinking benchmark datasets.
arXiv:2608. 06750v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Iterative refinement has significantly enhanced Large Language Model (LLM) performance; however, existing methods ranging from feedback-based Self-Refine to traditional bandit approaches often rely on static options or overlook the saturation effect.
arXiv:2605. 25143v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Test-time scaling improves language model reasoning by spending additional compute to explore multiple solution trajectories.
arXiv:2512. 20638v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The evaluation of large language models relies heavily on standardized benchmarks.
arXiv:2608. 05651v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language model (LLM)-driven evolution has shown promise for program search and algorithm discovery, but relying on strong models throughout long evolutionary runs is costly.
Large language model (LLM)-driven evolution has shown promise for program search and algorithm discovery, but relying on strong models throughout long evolutionary runs is costly. A natural alternative is to combine cheap and strong models under a fixed inference budget.
arXiv:2608. 11947v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multiple-choice benchmarks are widely used to evaluate large language models, but MCQ scores conflate knowledge with sensitivity to option order, which makes them unreliable measures of model knowledge.
arXiv:2606. 09635v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Ensuring the reliability of Large Language Models (LLMs) under distribution drift requires inference-time adaptation.
arXiv:2606. 01799v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study $N$-armed stochastic dueling bandits under the Condorcet-winner assumption, where three widely adopted objectives are considered: best-arm identification (BAI), weak regret, and strong regret.
