About this paper
Nimit Kalra, Leonard Tang
Verdict is an open-source library designed to enhance the accuracy, reliability, and interpretability of automated Large Language Model (LLM) evaluators by leveraging modular reasoning units and increased inference-time compute. The library demonstrates superior performance compared to existing methods across diverse tasks, including safety moderation, factual validation, and hallucination detection.
Key insights
- Systematically leveraging increased inference-time compute through the composition of modular reasoning units significantly improves the accuracy, reliability, and interpretability of LLM judges.
- A declarative framework with structured schemas for evaluation logic enables the creation of robust judges, reducing sensitivity to prompt design and ensuring consistent output formats across different LLMs.
- Complex, multi-LLM architectures like debate protocols and ensembles, when implemented composably, can surpass the performance of single, larger frontier models on challenging evaluation tasks.
