Adaptive Rigor in AI System Evaluation using Temperature-Controlled Verdict Aggregation via Generalized Power Mean

arXiv CS.AI

ArXi:2604.08595v1 Announce Type: cross Existing evaluation methods for LLM-based AI systems, such as LLM-as-a-Judge, verdict systems, and NLI, do not always align well with human assessment because they cannot adapt their strictness to the application domain. This paper presents Temperature-Controlled Verdict Aggregation (TCVA), a method that combines a five-level verdict-scoring system with generalized power-mean aggregation and an intuitive temperature parameter T [0.1, 1.0] to control evaluation rigor.
