Same Scores, Different Decisions: Evaluating JEV and Language Models for Legal Document Understanding

Read the original on arXiv Computation and Language →

The paper compares Jev with nine language models on the ContractNLI task, assessing inference cost, response time, average correctness, and correctness under repeated requests. Controlled experiments vary hypothesis visibility, requested outputs, and output order while keeping the contract and target judgment fixed. Jev achieves the lowest cost and median response time, whereas hosted language models show higher baseline accuracy, but rankings differ when evaluating correctness across all conditions and repeats.

Benchmarking LLM-as-a-Judge for Long-Form Output Evaluation

The paper introduces LongJudgeBench, a benchmark designed to evaluate large language models (LLMs) acting as judges for long-form text generation. It highlights that long-form evaluation requires complex, document-level assessments beyond simple length, such as organization, coverage, depth, consistency, and scenario-specific quality. Experiments show a significant reliability gap among current LLM judges, indicating instability across scenarios and limited effectiveness of rubrics or references.

JudgeSense: A Benchmark for Prompt Sensitivity in LLM-as-a-Judge Systems

JudgeSense is a benchmark comprising 880 items from human‑labelled corpora, each presented under two differently worded instructions that ask the same question. The study evaluates 25 judges from six providers across four tasks, measuring how rewording affects agreement with the judge’s own verdicts. Results show that rewording reduces agreement on all tasks, with significant effects on two, and that stability varies across tasks and is not predicted by parameter count.

Cloud and On-Premises Deployment of Uzbek Legal RAG via Targeted Retriever Fine-Tuning

The paper reports on building a retrieval‑augmented legal assistant for Uzbek that operates in both a managed cloud service and an on‑premises deployment. It introduces two new domain benchmarks—one for retrieval and one for end‑to‑end QA—and shows that fine‑tuning an open‑weight text embedder (UTE‑1) can close the performance gap with proprietary models under tight cost and latency constraints. The authors also provide negative results for a QLoRA experiment and release the benchmarks, evaluation code, and the fine‑tuned embedder for future low‑resource legal NLP work.
