Rethinking LLM-as-a-Judge: Representation-as-a-Judge with Small Language Models via Semantic Capacity Asymmetry

ICLR 2026poster

Large language models (LLMs) are widely used as reference-free evaluators via prompting, but this “LLM-as-a-Judge” paradigm is costly, opaque, and sensitive to prompt design. In this work, we investigate whether smaller models can serve as efficient evaluators by leveraging internal representations…

Learning from Committee: Reasoning Distillation from a Mixture of Teachers with Peer-Review

ACL 2025finding

While reasoning capabilities typically emerge in large language models (LLMs) with tens of billions of parameters, recent research focuses on improving smaller open-source models through knowledge distillation (KD) from commercial LLMs. However, many of these studies rely solely on responses from a…

Think Globally, Group Locally: Evaluating LLMs Using Multi-Lingual Word Grouping Games

EMNLP 2025

Large language models (LLMs) can exhibit biases in reasoning capabilities due to linguistic modality, performing better on tasks in one language versus another, even with similar content. Most previous works evaluate this through reasoning tasks where reliance on strategies or knowledge can ensure s
