Evaluation Cards: An Interpretive Layer for AI Evaluation Reporting

Avijit Ghosh, Anka Reuel, Jenny Chim +45

AI evaluation results are produced at scale but reported inconsistently across leaderboards, model cards, benchmark papers, and company blogs. The cost is interpretive: readers can…

One Persona, Many Cues, Different Results: How Sociodemographic Cues Impact LLM Personalization

Franziska Weeber, Vera Neplenbroek, Jan Batzner +1

Personalization of LLMs by sociodemographic subgroup often improves user experience, but can also introduce or amplify biases and unfair outcomes across groups. Prior work has empl…

Sycophancy Claims about Language Models: The Missing Human-in-the-Loop

Jan Batzner, Volker Stocker, Stefan Schmid +1

Sycophantic response patterns in Large Language Models (LLMs) have been increasingly claimed in the literature. We review methodological challenges in measuring LLM sycophancy and…
