BACON: Budgeted Human Calibration for Modeling and Evaluation with Multiple AI Judges

Lei Shi, Anlan Zhang, Rita Lyu +6

AI judges offer a scalable, low-cost alternative to human evaluation, but their outputs can be biased relative to human preferences and highly item-dependent, varying across judges…

AI-Assisted Variance Reduction in Randomized Experiments

David Arbour, Eli Ben-Michael, Avi Feller +2

Generative AI and large language models can produce realistic predictions of human behavior from rich, unstructured inputs with little to no task-specific training data. Recent wor…

Regularizing Extrapolation in Causal Inference

David Arbour, Harsh Parikh, Bijan Niknam +3

Many common estimators in machine learning and causal inference are linear smoothers, where the prediction is a weighted average of the training outcomes. Some estimators, such as…

Experimentation Accelerator: Interpretable Insights and Creative Recommendations for A/B Testing with Content-Aware ranking

Zhengmian Hu, Lei Shi, Ritwik Sinha +2

Modern online experimentation faces two bottlenecks: scarce traffic forces tough choices on which variants to test, and post-hoc insight extraction is manual, inconsistent, and oft…

Leveraging semantic similarity for experimentation with AI-generated treatments

Lei Shi, David Arbour, Raghavendra Addanki +2

Large Language Models (LLMs) enable a new form of digital experimentation where treatments combine human and model-generated content in increasingly sophisticated ways. The main me…

Handling Missing Responses under Cluster Dependence with Applications to Language Model Evaluation

Zhenghao Zeng, David Arbour, Avi Feller +3

Human annotations play a crucial role in evaluating the performance of GenAI models. Two common challenges in practice, however, are missing annotations (the response variable of i…
