The paper introduces mutable transcripts, an interaction paradigm that lets users edit prior turns in a chat, turning the conversation history into an editable state rather than a fixed record. A prototype was built and tested with 17 participants, who preferred mutable transcripts over standard chat for clarity, confidence, and ease of use, and reported less need to restart conversations. Analysis of user study transcripts shows that mutable transcripts can shorten conversations and remove outdated context, suggesting that user-driven revisions improve interaction quality.

The paper introduces a lifecycle framework for LLM-as-a-Judge systems used to evaluate recommendation explanations at Netflix. It outlines four phases—Birth, Training, Deployment, and Monitoring—detailing how each stage addresses specific technical and operational challenges. The authors report that after five weeks of A/B testing, judge-aligned explanations increased novel content viewing and successful browse-to-play sessions without quality takedowns.
