When LLM judges agree, should we believe them?

Amazon Science 1 month ago 28 ● 2 sources

Researchers propose a dependence-aware way to aggregate outputs from multiple LLM judges so that agreement counts don’t overstate independent evidence when judges share biases. The method’s strongest results using 10 judge models at temperature 0 reach 0.912 accuracy for relevance, up from 0.820 with weighted majority vote and 0.804 with uniform majority vote. As a result, evaluation scores adjust for learned pairwise correlation between judges rather than assuming independent errors, improving accuracy across three binary tasks.

Preparing data for supervised fine-tuning Part 2: Advanced data strategies

Amazon Web Services 1 month ago 31 ● 2 sources

The article lays out advanced strategies to improve supervised fine-tuning datasets after formatting and quality checks. It recommends planning for roughly 2,000 high-quality training samples as a starting point, with learning-curve analysis using checkpoints saved every 10–20 percent of training to find when gains saturate. As a result, teams can decide when to stop, curate a smaller higher-value subset, use augmentation (including synthetic reasoning traces) to expand coverage, and apply controlled data mixing to reduce catastrophic forgetting.

AI models flub these intelligence tests. Can you fare any better?

MIT Technology Review 1 month ago 14

AI models have performed poorly on multiple puzzle-based intelligence tests, especially those involving spatial/visual reasoning and small changes that break memorized patterns. In late 2024, top models solved only 18% of the New York Times Connections puzzles. The article changes by reframing puzzles as a way to pinpoint specific model weaknesses and invites readers to try the same challenges that tripped up AI.
