New research quantifies noise in LLM evaluations

A new paper on arXiv introduces a method to measure the various sources of noise in Large Language Model (LLM) evaluations. The research identifies three types of noise: prediction noise from varied model outputs, data noise from question sampling, and their combined total noise. To improve statistical power and relative comparisons, the authors propose an 'all-pairs comparison' approach that analyzes millions of predictions across numerous evaluations. AI

IMPACT Provides a framework for more statistically robust LLM evaluation, potentially leading to more reliable model comparisons.

    Measuring all the noises of LLM Evals

    arXiv:2512.21326v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Applying well-established statistical methods effectively to LLM evals requires consideration of model correlations and prediction noises. Leading evals often ignore data noise, have low statistical power, or make unnecess…
