DelistBench: Evaluating Search-Enabled LLMs for Auditable Corporate-Event Database Completion

Read the original on arXiv Computation and Language →

The paper introduces Search-to-Record, a database‑assurance task where search‑enabled large language models reconstruct corporate‑event records from public sources, and DelistBench, a 1,200‑record benchmark for security‑level delisting announcements. Five models were evaluated in both closed‑book and web‑enabled settings, showing that web access improves announcement‑date accuracy by 34.0–48.0 percentage points and event‑status accuracy by 2.8–21.7 points, with the best system achieving 81.5% overall joint accuracy within seven days. The study also demonstrates that low‑cost web systems can approach the best system’s accuracy and that risk‑based triage can identify low‑error subsets, though a significant portion of cases still requires review.

Incremental Pooled LLM Evaluation for Cost-Effective Retrieval Model Selection

The paper proposes an incremental pooled LLM evaluation method for selecting retrieval models in production Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems. By having a language model judge the union of documents retrieved by current candidates and expanding the pool only with new documents from added systems, the approach reuses judgments across all systems. Experiments on four benchmarks and a financial news QA deployment show strong correlation with gold-standard rankings, high preservation of pairwise orderings, and significant cost savings—up to 4.9× lower evaluation cost and 65–80% judgment reuse.

SearchAuditor: Auditing and Attributing Failures in Long-Horizon Search Agents

arXiv:2608. 05212v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Deep search agents tackle challenging questions through long-horizon web interactions, a process that is both complex and fragile: small reasoning errors may propagate through long, noisy trajectories into fluent but incorrect answers.

Look It Up: Analysing Internal Web Search Capabilities of Modern LLMs

The paper evaluates how modern large language models use internal web search to answer factual questions. Using 783 static queries and 288 dynamic queries, the authors find that enabling retrieval improves accuracy on static questions but hurts confidence calibration. On dynamic queries, models often retrieve but still achieve less than 70% accuracy, mainly due to poor query formulation and source selection, indicating that internal web search works better as a quick verification tool than a full information‑retrieval system.
