When Do LLMs Actually Help? Evaluating LLMs as Data Quality Annotators

The paper evaluates large language models (LLMs) as data quality annotators on two e-commerce tasks: entity matching and brand mislabeling. In entity matching, a simple rule-based baseline matched the LLM’s zero-shot performance (F1≈0.95), and a few-shot prompt actually lowered performance, highlighting the risk of small-sample prompt tuning. For brand mislabeling, the LLM outperformed a naive rule baseline (F1 0.833 vs 0.721) by leveraging background knowledge, and demonstrated high consistency across repeated runs (99.7% agreement).

When the Same Prompt Gives Different Answers (and the Same Answer Isn't Always Right): A Taxonomy of Failure Mechanisms, Testing, and Mitigation Strategies for LLM-Assisted Evidence Synthesis Read-and-Evaluate Tasks

The paper introduces TRAILS, a taxonomy of 38 mechanisms that can compromise the reliability of large language model (LLM) read‑and‑evaluate tasks in evidence synthesis, such as study screening, data extraction, risk‑of‑bias assessment, and critical appraisal. It explains how these mechanisms can cause inconsistent or hidden failures across repeated LLM runs and outlines deployment settings, testing approaches, and mitigation strategies for each. The authors argue that repeatability or accuracy alone does not guarantee trustworthy judgments, emphasizing the need for human evaluation to verify that decisions are evidence‑based, free from external influence, and reproducible.

Measuring Brand and Source Discovery under Repeated LLM Queries: A Finite-Sample Audit

The study audits large language model (LLM) outputs by measuring how well repeated queries recover a collected set of responses versus the full set of possible outputs. Using sample-based rarefaction on 4,500 responses from 50 buying questions across six configurations, the authors find historical-dictionary median recovery rates between 92.6% and 95.2%, which drop to 89.5%–94.7% after re‑adjudicating all candidate strings. Additional analyses with Gemini 3.1 Pro annotations and matched roster data confirm that recovery percentages vary with extraction methods, question selection, and the finite reference collection, underscoring the need for explicit measurement definitions and sensitivity analyses in LLM audits.

When the Same Prompt Gives Different Answers (and the Same Answer Isn't Always Right): A Taxonomy of Failure Mechanisms, Testing, and Mitigation Strategies for LLM-Assisted Evidence Synthesis Read-and-Evaluate Tasks

The paper presents TRAILS, a taxonomy of 38 mechanisms that can undermine the reliability of large language model (LLM) read‑and‑evaluate tasks in evidence synthesis, such as study screening and risk‑of‑bias assessment. It distinguishes failures that cause inconsistent judgments across repeated runs from those that systematically bias outcomes without obvious signs. The authors outline deployment settings, testing approaches, and mitigation strategies, and argue that repeatability or accuracy alone cannot guarantee trustworthy judgments, emphasizing the need for human evaluation of evidence grounding and process transparency.
