The paper introduces an LLM-as-a-Judge framework for evaluating the outputs of an agentic drug discovery assistant, ChatInvent, deployed at AstraZeneca. It defines four quality dimensions—Completeness, Relevancy, Structural Clarity, and Scope Adherence—alongside deterministic Tool Call Correctness checks, and validates the judge against five expert annotators. After optimizing the best-performing judge with few-shot demonstrations, alignment with human majority votes improves from 0.80 to 0.86, and the framework reveals that informal question phrasing does not degrade output quality.

arXiv:2606. 02837v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Accurate translation from Natural Language to First-Order Logic (NL-to-FOL) underpins neurosymbolic AI systems and Natural Language Inference (NLI), making the quality of NL-to-FOL benchmarks essential -- yet these datasets have never been rigorously audited.

Goldsmith is an agentic pipeline that transforms a small set of expert-annotated calibration examples into a reusable structured annotation definition treated as a trainable textual object. Candidate definitions are evaluated on the same gold examples using an executable structured loss, and a large language model editor revises high-loss failures only when loss decreases. The approach outperforms direct rewriting, OPRO, APE, and PromptBreeder in prompt-optimization tests and enhances downstream annotation across typed span, pair-level relation, and fixed-trigger event-argument tasks when combined with retrieval, score-based routing, and human review.
