Latent Phase-Shift Rollback: Inference-Time Error Correction via Residual Stream Monitoring and KV-Cache Steering

Manan Gupta, Dhruv Kumar

Large language models frequently commit unrecoverable reasoning errors mid-generation: once a wrong step is taken, subsequent tokens compound the mistake rather than correct it. We…

Diagnosing LLM Judge Reliability: Conformal Prediction Sets and Transitivity Violations

Manan Gupta, Dhruv Kumar

LLM-as-judge frameworks are increasingly used for automatic NLG evaluation, yet their per-instance reliability remains poorly understood. We present a two-pronged diagnostic toolki…

Context Over Content: Exposing Evaluation Faking in Automated Judges

Manan Gupta, Inderjeet Nair, Lu Wang +1

The paradigm has become the operational backbone of automated AI evaluation pipelines, yet rests on an unverified assumption: that judges evaluate text st…

Beyond Accuracy: Diagnosing Algebraic Reasoning Failures in LLMs Across Nine Complexity Dimensions

Parth Patil, Dhruv Kumar, Yash Sinha +1

Algebraic reasoning remains one of the most informative stress tests for large language models, yet current benchmarks provide no mechanism for attributing failure to a specific ca…

Measuring Representation Robustness in Large Language Models for Geometry

Vedant Jawandhia, Yash Sinha, Murari Mandal +2

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly evaluated on mathematical reasoning, yet their robustness to equivalent problem representations remains poorly understood. In geometry…

The Compliance Paradox: Semantic-Instruction Decoupling in Automated Academic Code Evaluation

Devanshu Sahoo, Manish Prasad, Vasudev Majhi +5

The rapid integration of Large Language Models (LLMs) into educational assessment rests on the unverified assumption that instruction following capability translates directly to ob…
