Distilling Expert Judgment at Scale

The paper proposes a method to capture expert human judgment and reasoning for automated evaluation systems that can scale across high‑stakes domains such as healthcare, defense, finance, governance, and politics. By assembling expert networks and encoding their reasoning into structured editorial standards, the authors demonstrate that automated judges trained on these standards outperform uncalibrated frontier models on source‑quality and neutrality metrics in AI news reporting. The study validates the approach with strong inter‑annotator agreement and high F1 scores, suggesting a viable framework for expert‑calibrated evaluation in any domain where expertise is scarce.

An Explainable Coherence Score for Detecting Temporal Inconsistencies in Political News

The paper presents the Temporal Coherence Score (TCS), a continuous, interpretable metric for detecting temporal inconsistencies in political news. TCS is computed through a four‑stage pipeline that extracts temporal facts, builds a temporal knowledge graph, verifies consistency using internal rules and external references, and aggregates scores with explanations. On a benchmark of 100 political articles with injected errors, TCS achieves 0.909 precision, providing detailed explanations for each flagged inconsistency.

Can We Trust the Judges? Validation of Factuality Evaluation Methods via Answer Perturbation

arXiv:2609.15561v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Evaluating the factual correctness of large language models (LLMs) is vital for many applications. But are our evaluation tools themselves trustworthy?...
