๐Ÿšจ New Paper(s) Alert ๐Ÿšจ Iโ€™m excited to share papers Iโ€™ve recently published, exploring a different application of LLMs: mdpi.com/2673-2688/7/2/73 arxiv.org/abs/2603.12710 mdpi.com/2079-8954/14/2/123 dl.acm.org/doi/full/10.1145/โ€ฆ (Sorry for the paper drop โ€” Iโ€™ve been offline for a while.)

All very different, but the common theme is: using LLMs in structured, evaluable, and purpose-driven ways.

[1/7] Why do frontier LLMs make factual errors? Is it because they never learned the factโ€ฆ or because they canโ€™t access knowledge they already encoded? In our new paper, we show: The bottleneck is not encoding; it is recall. ๐Ÿงต๐Ÿ‘‡ Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2602.14080 Many thanks to @_galyo @bd_eyal @zorikgekhman @eran_ofek59358 @GoogleResearch

A strange trend I've noticed at #ACL2025 is that people are hesitant to reach out to papers/"academic products" authors. This is unfortunate for both parties! A simple email can save a lot of time to the sender, but is also one of my favorite kind of email as the receiver!

The Alternative Annotator Test (alt-test) is a new statistical procedure proposed in our ACL 2025 paper! ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡น @DrorRotem @roireichart The goal? To help justify using LLMs over humans. If the LLM passes the test, its annotations can be trusted ๐Ÿ˜Ž arxiv.org/abs/2501.10970

Everyone uses LLMs to annotate data or evaluate models in their research. But how can we convince others (readers, collaborators, reviewers!!!) that LLMs are reliable? ๐Ÿค– Hereโ€™s a simple (and low-effort) solution: show the LLM is a *comparable alternative annotator* โœ…

A few months ago I told you that I'm working on something awesome and I need some datasets...well here is the first output of that effort and I sincerely think it's amazing ๐Ÿคฉ check it out! @NitCal @roireichart #llm-as-a-judge, #nlpevaluation
Do you use LLM-as-a-judge or LLM annotations in your research? Thereโ€™s a growing trend of replacing human annotators with LLMs in researchโ€”they're fast, cheap, and require less effort. But can we trust them?๐Ÿค” Well, we need a rigorous procedure to answer this. ๐ŸšจNew preprint๐Ÿ‘‡
