Metadata Predictability Is Not Evidence Dependence: An Intervention-Based Audit for Weak-Label Benchmarks
Researchers have developed a new auditing protocol for weak-label benchmarks in natural language processing. This protocol distinguishes between outputs predictable from metadata alone and those genuinely dependent on the provided evidence. By combining a metadata prior dominance score with an evidence intervention statistic, the method aims to provide a more robust evaluation of benchmark reliability. AI
