BabelJudge: Measuring LLM-as-a-Judge Reliability Across Languages and Agent Trajectories

BabelJudge introduces an open-source framework to measure four key bias modes in LLM judges across languages and agent trajectories. It reveals a significant reliability drop from Hindi to Swahili—0.714 to 0's 0.550—highlighting cross-lingual degradation invisible to raw accuracy. The framework enables bias-aware evaluation without human labels, using controlled perturbations to create known gold labels, and extends to agentic workflows with new metrics on tool accuracy and hallucination detection.

SAFER: Reliable Test-Time Adaptation under Adversarial Streams

SAFER is a training-free framework that enhances robustness of test-time adaptation by using reliability-guided augmentation. It generates stochastic augmentations, pools predictions via correlation-weighted aggregation with outlier detection, and includes adaptive mixing to preserve clean performance under adversarial attacks. Evaluations on PACS, VLCS, and OfficeHome show improved resilience without sacrificing clean accuracy.

Gold Points Sniper: Self-guided Visual Reasoning for Fine-grained Action Understanding

Gold Points Sniper (GPS) enables lightweight vision-language models to perform self-guided multimodal reasoning for fine-grained human action understanding. By integrating a Gold Points Extractor, Selective Socratic Questioner, and Semantic Entailment Evaluator, GPS achieves performance comparable to GPT-4o while maintaining superior factual accuracy on CAP benchmark-based instruction-tuning data.

MMGist: A Comprehensive Multimodal Benchmark for 2027

MMGist is a curated multimodal benchmark with 7,262 items, designed to address flaws in existing vision-language benchmarks. It reduces evaluation size by 69% and improves cross-model discrimination by 78%, while preserving model rankings with a Spearman correlation of 0.98. The benchmark highlights visual logic as a key weakness and emphasizes the importance of visual dependency, discriminative power, and reliability in evaluation.

PRIME: Evaluating Prompt Resolution in Conflicting Instructions

PRIME introduces a framework to analyze how large language models handle conflicting instructions by generating calibrated conflicts in response length, format, and reasoning. The study finds that conflict type has a greater impact on model behavior than model size, revealing diverse failure modes across conflict categories. Results highlight the need for conflict awareness and suggest instruction following cannot be reliably assessed through isolated benchmarks alone.
