Small Language Models as Judges for Rubric-Based Reinforcement Learning
Fengyu Xie, Yilun Zhao, Bingsen Chen +2
Rubric-based reinforcement learning extends RL beyond tasks with exact answers or rule-based verifiers by scoring responses against instance-specific criteria. However, this makes…
Measuring the Gap Between Human and LLM Research Ideas
Ziyu Chen, Yilun Zhao, Arman Cohan
LLMs are increasingly used to brainstorm research ideas, but existing evaluations mostly judge individual ideas by novelty, feasibility, or expert preference. We instead ask: how f…
Rethinking Reasoning-Intensive Retrieval: Evaluating and Advancing Retrievers in Agentic Search Systems
Yilun Zhao, Jinbiao Wei, Tingyu Song +3
Reasoning-intensive retrieval aims to surface evidence that supports downstream reasoning rather than merely matching topical similarity. This capability is increasingly important…
Can AI Be a Good Peer Reviewer? A Survey of Peer Review Process, Evaluation, and the Future
Sihong Wu, Owen Jiang, Yilun Zhao +5
Peer review is a multi-stage process involving reviews, rebuttals, meta-reviews, final decisions, and subsequent manuscript revisions. Recent advances in large language models (LLM…
RbtAct: Rebuttal as Supervision for Actionable Review Feedback Generation
Sihong Wu, Yiling Ma, Yilun Zhao +4
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used across the scientific workflow, including to draft peer-review reports. However, many AI-generated reviews are superficial and in…
MedTutor: A Retrieval-Augmented LLM System for Case-Based Medical Education
Dongsuk Jang, Ziyao Shangguan, Kyle Tegtmeyer +4
The learning process for medical residents presents significant challenges, demanding both the ability to interpret complex case reports and the rapid acquisition of accurate medic…
Patient-Similarity Cohort Reasoning in Clinical Text-to-SQL
Yifei Shen, Yilun Zhao, Justice Ou +2
Real-world clinical text-to-SQL requires reasoning over heterogeneous EHR tables, temporal windows, and patient-similarity cohorts to produce executable queries. We introduce CLINS…
On Evaluating LLM Alignment by Evaluating LLMs as Judges
Yixin Liu, Pengfei Liu, Arman Cohan
Alignment with human preferences is an important evaluation aspect of LLMs, requiring them to be helpful, honest, safe, and to precisely follow human instructions. Evaluating large…
Measuring what Matters: Construct Validity in Large Language Model Benchmarks
Andrew M. Bean, Ryan Othniel Kearns, Angelika Romanou +39
Evaluating large language models (LLMs) is crucial for both assessing their capabilities and identifying safety or robustness issues prior to deployment. Reliably measuring abstrac…
AlphaResearch: Accelerating New Algorithm Discovery with Language Models
Zhaojian Yu, Kaiyue Feng, Yilun Zhao +3
LLMs have made significant progress in complex but easy-to-verify problems, yet they still struggle with discovering the unknown. In this paper, we present \textbf{AlphaResearch},…
LimRank: Less is More for Reasoning-Intensive Information Reranking
Tingyu Song, Yilun Zhao, Siyue Zhang +2
Existing approaches typically rely on large-scale fine-tuning to adapt LLMs for information reranking tasks, which is computationally expensive. In this work, we demonstrate that m…
FinLFQA: Evaluating Attributed Text Generation of LLMs in Financial Long-Form Question Answering
Yitao Long, Tiansheng Hu, Yilun Zhao +2
Large Language Models (LLMs) frequently hallucinate to long-form questions, producing plausible yet factually incorrect answers. A common mitigation strategy is to provide attribut…
DyFlow: Dynamic Workflow Framework for Agentic Reasoning
Yanbo Wang, Zixiang Xu, Yue Huang +9
Agent systems based on large language models (LLMs) have shown great potential in complex reasoning tasks, but building efficient and generalizable workflows remains a major challe…
From Scores to Steps: Diagnosing and Improving LLM Performance in Evidence-Based Medical Calculations
Benlu Wang, Iris Xia, Yifan Zhang +6
Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated promising performance on medical benchmarks; however, their ability to perform medical calculations, a crucial aspect of clinical dec…
MSRS: Evaluating Multi-Source Retrieval-Augmented Generation
Rohan Phanse, Yijie Zhou, Kejian Shi +4
