TriQua: Reconciling Granularity and Context in Factuality Evaluation

Jin Liu, Steffen Thoma, Achim Rettinger

The "decompose-then-verify" paradigm for LLM factuality evaluation faces a fundamental trade-off: atomic facts, i.e., one sentence conveying one unit of information, often omit ess…

The Unsampled Truth: Quantifying Prompt Artifacts in LM Psychometrics

Nils Schwager, Christoph Hau, Simon Münker +1

When prompting language models for psychometric assessment, researchers assume that the responses reflect the injected persona and the meaning of the survey item. We test this prem…

Next Reply Prediction X Dataset: Linguistic Discrepancies in Naively Generated Content

Simon Münker, Nils Schwager, Kai Kugler +2

The increasing use of Large Language Models (LLMs) as proxies for human participants in social science research presents a promising, yet methodologically risky, paradigm shift. Wh…
