The paper investigates how reliable large language models (LLMs) are when used as judges to evaluate entity alignment (EA) systems, which match equivalent entities across knowledge graphs. Through systematic benchmarking across three frontier LLMs, three datasets, and four EA systems, the study identifies a failure mode called anchor bias, where judges invert discrimination when the system’s decision label is visible. The authors show that a label‑free evaluation protocol restores high discrimination accuracy, while visible labels cause significant score shifts, especially in stronger models—a phenomenon they term the frontier model paradox. They also provide a new biomedical EA benchmark (MeSH–SNOMED CT) and an open‑source framework for auditing LLM judge reliability.
Entity Alignment (EA) identifies equivalent entities across knowledge graphs and is critical for knowledge base integration and ontology merging. Evaluating EA systems at scale requires expensive expe...
The paper investigates the reliability of ranking tables produced by small-sample evaluations of large language models (LLMs). Using LLM‑inferred prompt structure across eight model variants, the authors find that prompt‑structure recovery is highly unstable, with only the bottom of the ranking consistently reproducible. They demonstrate that standard evaluation practices can misrepresent model performance and propose reporting practices to improve transparency.
AMLworld-Compact introduces an importance‑weighted downsampling protocol for evaluating large language models on AMLworld’s test splits, retaining all illicit transactions while sampling benign ones from supervised‑score strata. The HT‑Coreset method reduces evaluation targets by 271× on HI‑Small and 611× on LI‑Small, providing unbiased confusion‑count estimates with exact recall and ratio estimates for precision and F1. Experiments with boosted‑tree strata and Graph Feature Preprocessor features show lower F1 RMSE compared to uniform sampling, and audit tools reveal that lexical checks do not reliably indicate correctness of model outputs.
