Distribution-Calibrated Inference Time Compute for Thinking LLM-as-a-Judge
ICML 2026poster
Thinking Large Language Models (LLMs) used as judges for pairwise preferences remain noisy at the single-sample level, and common aggregation rules (majority vote, soft self-consistency, or instruction-based self-aggregation) are inconsistent when ties are allowed. We study inference-time compute (I…
