arXiv:2601. 21817v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Evaluating large language models (LLMs) on open-ended tasks without ground-truth labels is increasingly done via the LLM-as-a-judge paradigm.

The paper introduces MoPLEx, an expectation‑maximization algorithm for learning mixtures of Plackett‑Luce models from multi‑way ranking data. It augments rankings with synthetic responses from a base language model and uses a gradient‑based estimation to reduce inference cost, enabling efficient fitting of large‑scale models. Experiments show the method achieves low probability estimation error and improves clustering and ranking accuracy by 43.7% and 15.2% over baselines.

arXiv:2508. 11847v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We propose a method for evaluating the robustness of widely used LLM ranking systems -- variants of a Bradley--Terry model -- to dropping a worst-case very small fraction of preference data.
