Correcting Prompt Dependence in LLM Benchmarks: A Bayesian Hierarchical Model with Embedding-Space Clustering

arXiv:2510. 05709v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: LLM benchmarking metrics often misstate performance and uncertainty as they rely on two assumptions that frequently do not hold in practice: (i) a sufficient number of evaluations are available for classical inference, and (ii) test prompts are independent.

FIDES: Faithful Inference via Deep Evidence Signals for Retrieval-Memory Conflict in RAG

arXiv:2606. 05644v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: When retrieved evidence contradicts parametric memory, language models frequently ignore context and default to memorized priors -- a failure that undermines the core purpose of retrieval augmentation.

Answer Presence Drives RAG Rewriting Gains

arXiv:2606. 05633v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Retrieval-augmented QA pipelines often route retrieved passages through an LLM \emph{rewriter} before a smaller reader, lifting F1 by tens of points on multi-hop benchmarks; this gain is typically credited to improved evidence quality.

Narrative Knowledge Weaver: Narrative-Centric Retrieval-Augmented Reasoning for Long-Form Text Understanding

arXiv:2606. 05724v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-form narrative QA requires reasoning over evolving story worlds rather than isolated passages: answers may depend on earlier goals, changing character states, social relations, causal triggers, temporal position, and later consequences.
