What Do We Expect from LLMs? Mapping the Design of LLM Benchmarks

Read the original on arXiv AI →

The paper "What Do We Expect from LLMs? Mapping the Design of LLM Benchmarks" analyzes 14,767 arXiv submissions from 2022 to 2026 that introduce or update evaluation resources for large language models. It systematically maps changes in target systems, domains, evaluation materials, conditions, and scoring mechanisms, revealing a growing emphasis on action, interaction, and professional applications. The study also notes uneven development in model participation, with LLM-based scoring increasing in both agent and non-agent groups, while model-generated materials do not show a comparable rise.

Has LLM Screening Performance Stalled in Software Engineering Systematic Reviews?

The study investigates whether large language models (LLMs) have improved in screening systematic reviews (SRs) within software engineering. Using the SESR‑Eval benchmark and a new smaller dataset, the authors evaluated eight recent LLMs and found only marginal performance gains over older models (average MCC rose from 0.347 to 0.365). The research also examined prompt variations, inter‑model agreement, and the impact of refining inclusion/exclusion criteria, concluding that LLMs still fall short of replacing human reviewers and that future work should explore agent‑based methods, prompt engineering, and further criteria refinement.
