arXiv:2602. 06136v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Test-time adaptation (TTA) offers a compelling remedy for machine learning (ML) models that degrade under domain shifts, improving generalisation on-the-fly with only unlabelled samples.

arXiv:2608. 14425v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LLM evaluations often use fixed sampling budgets, testing every item the same number of times even after estimates are precise.

The paper introduces VTC-Bench, a five‑domain benchmark designed to evaluate multiple outputs from large language models (LLMs) by measuring Validated Task Coverage (VTC). VTC quantifies how many distinct, useful results are produced within a set number of attempts, using real‑data tasks that allow automatic, reproducible checks of output quality and task‑relevant distinctness without relying on model‑based judges. Experiments show that models which perform best on single‑draw quality do not always achieve the highest coverage, and simple output‑variation metrics fail to capture task‑relevant diversity, highlighting the importance of evaluating finite candidate sets directly.

arXiv:2606. 24020v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A modern model release reports scores on 40+ benchmarks and the same evaluations were run many more times before it: to track training progress, compare design choices, and select the checkpoint for the release.
