Harness-IF: Evaluating Instruction Following Across Instruction Surfaces in Coding Agents
Zining Huang, Haoran Que, Hong Zeng +8
When a coding agent obeys a rule, it may simply have been going to do that anyway. Existing instruction-following benchmarks cannot tell the difference: they concentrate rules in t…
Xpertbench: Expert Level Tasks with Rubrics-Based Evaluation
Xue Liu, Xin Ma, Yuxin Ma +36
As Large Language Models (LLMs) exhibit plateauing performance on conventional benchmarks, a pivotal challenge persists: evaluating their proficiency in complex, open-ended tasks c…
Understanding by Reconstruction: Reversing the Software Development Process for LLM Pretraining
Zhiyuan Zeng, Yichi Zhang, Yong Shan +11
While Large Language Models (LLMs) have achieved remarkable success in code generation, they often struggle with the deep, long-horizon reasoning required for complex software engi…
CoTJudger: A Graph-Driven Framework for Automatic Evaluation of Chain-of-Thought Efficiency and Redundancy in LRMs
Siyi Li, Jiajun Shi, Shiwen Ni +9
Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) have demonstrated strong performance by producing extended Chain-of-Thought (CoT) traces before answering. However, this paradigm often induces over-r…
Beyond Correctness: Evaluating Subjective Writing Preferences Across Cultures
Shuangshuang Ying, Yunwen Li, Xingwei Qu +21
Current preference learning methods achieve high accuracy on standard benchmarks but exhibit significant performance degradation when objective quality signals are removed. We intr…
The Molecular Structure of Thought: Mapping the Topology of Long Chain-of-Thought Reasoning
Qiguang Chen, Yantao Du, Ziniu Li +10
Large language models (LLMs) often fail to learn effective long chain-of-thought (Long CoT) reasoning from human or non-Long-CoT LLMs imitation. To understand this, we propose that…
