New estimator tackles LLM judge error correlation with contaminated anchors

A new paper introduces a closed-form estimator designed to address error correlation in LLM-judge panels when external reference sets (anchors) are used. The research focuses on scenarios where the anchor itself might be contaminated by the judges' shared error, a common assumption violation. The proposed method allows for the estimation of quality variance, common-mode variance, and anchor contamination correlation, even when the anchor is not perfectly clean. The estimator is accompanied by a diagnostic battery to assess model adequacy and identify potential biases. AI

IMPACT Provides a new statistical method for evaluating LLM outputs, potentially improving the reliability of benchmark results.

    A Closed-Form Estimator and Diagnostic Battery for Anchor-Judge Error Correlation, Under a Single-Common-Factor Model

    arXiv:2609.08826v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: When an external reference set (an anchor) is used to decompose an LLM-judge panel's error into a quality signal and a shared common-mode error, standard practice assumes the anchor is uncontaminated: its error uncorrelated with t…
