Experts Rise Where LLMs Disagree: Using Cross-Model Disagreement to Target Expert Effort in LLM Codebook Revision for Large-Scale Annotation

The paper proposes using large language models (LLMs) to identify disagreements among models as a way to focus expert effort on revising codebooks for large‑scale text annotation. Three expert feedback methods are evaluated: editing LLM‑generated revisions (Codebook Verifying), answering questions about disagreements (Question Answering), and labeling disagreement cases with rationales (Rationale Labeling). Experiments on tutoring‑session transcripts show that Rationale Labeling achieves the highest LLM‑labeling accuracy (64.9%) compared to the expert‑revised codebook (57.8%), with Question Answering also outperforming the baseline (60.5%).

TabSieve: Explicit In-Table Evidence Selection for Tabular Prediction

TabSieve is a select‑then‑predict framework that explicitly chooses a small set of informative rows from a table as evidence before predicting a missing target. The authors build a large synthetic dataset, TabSieve‑SFT‑40K, and introduce a reinforcement learning method, TAB‑GRPO, to jointly optimize evidence selection and prediction. Experiments on 75 classification and 52 regression tables show consistent performance gains, with TabSieve improving classification by 2.92% and regression by 4.45% over the best baseline while enhancing robustness to noisy context.

Efficient Table QA via TableGrid Navigation and Progressive Inference Prompting

arXiv:2605. 20254v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown promising results on NLP tasks, however, their performance on tabular data still needs research attention, because Table Question-Answering (TQA) requires precise cell retrieval and multi-step structured reasoning.
