Rubric Judgments Lack Uncertainty: Conformal Weighting for LLM Evaluation

Licheng Pan, Haocheng Yang, Haoxuan Li +7

Rubric-based evaluation is widely used to assess large language model (LLM) outputs by decomposing quality into multiple criteria and assigning each a binary judgment from an LLM v…

CleanRM: Reward Modeling from Noisy Feedback with a Few Clean Feedback for RLHF

Licheng Pan, Haocheng Yang, Yuzhou Chen +7

Feedback noise is pervasive in preference data, arising from subjective human judgments, annotation mistakes, and imperfect LLM judges. Standard reward modeling trained on such fee…
