LLM judges show anchor bias in entity alignment evaluations

A new study by Vaibhav Alakshmi Ravideshik explores the reliability of using large language models (LLMs) as judges for evaluating entity alignment (EA) systems. The research found that LLM judges can exhibit "anchor bias," where their performance degrades when the decision label is visible. A label-free protocol significantly improved judge reliability, particularly for biomedical datasets. The study also observed a paradox where more capable LLMs showed greater sensitivity to label exposure. AI

IMPACT This research highlights potential biases in LLM evaluation, suggesting a need for careful protocol design when using LLMs for structured prediction tasks.

    Reliability of LLM Judges for Evaluating Entity Alignment

    Entity Alignment (EA) identifies equivalent entities across knowledge graphs and is critical for knowledge base integration and ontology merging. Evaluating EA systems at scale requires expensive expert annotation, making systematic assessment across diverse domains practically i…
