Evaluating Criterion-Conditioned Behaviour of Large Language Models in Content Moderation

The paper introduces DECO, a diagnostic framework that factorises content into independent moderation criteria, allowing controlled evaluation of large language models (LLMs) at the criterion level. Using pairwise evaluation across four datasets and four LLMs, the authors find that high aggregate benchmark scores can mask significant failures when decisions hinge on specific content aspects required by individual criteria. The study underscores that aggregated labels do not guarantee reliable criterion-conditioned performance, highlighting the need for evaluation methods that explicitly assess this behavior.

When Hate Meets Facts: LLMs-in-the-Loop for Check-worthiness Detection in Hate Speech

The paper introduces WSF-ARG+, a new dataset that pairs hate speech with check‑worthiness annotations, and presents an LLM‑in‑the‑loop framework to streamline the annotation process. Experiments with 12 open‑weight large language models demonstrate that the framework cuts human effort while maintaining annotation quality. The study also shows that incorporating check‑worthiness labels improves hate‑speech detection performance, boosting macro‑F1 scores for large models by up to 0.213 and averaging 0.154 across models.

Evaluating Criterion-Conditioned Behaviour of Large Language Models in Content Moderation

The paper introduces DECO, a diagnostic tool that factorises content into independent criteria for evaluating large language models (LLMs) on content moderation tasks. Using DECO and pairwise evaluation across four datasets and four LLMs, the authors find that high benchmark scores can mask significant failures at the criterion level, especially when decisions hinge on specific content aspects rather than overall harmfulness. The study underscores that aggregated label performance does not guarantee reliable criterion-conditioned evaluation, calling for new methods that explicitly assess this behavior.
