解决大模型评分不一致问题,让自动评估更可靠

TrustJudge: Inconsistencies of LLM-as-a-Judge and How to Alleviate Them

  • 用概率分布计算连续得分,保留评分信息熵
  • 通过双向偏好概率降低循环偏好和等价矛盾
  • 无需额外训练,适配多种模型架构

将大语言模型(LLM)作为自动评估者(LLM-as-a-judge)时,现有评估框架存在关键不一致性。我们识别出两类根本性问题:(1)得分对比不一致——低分回答在成对比较中表现优于高分回答;(2)成对传递性不一致,表现为循环偏好链(A>B>C>A)和等价矛盾(A=B=C≠A)。这些问题源于离散评分系统的信息损失和成对评估中的模糊平局判断。本文提出 TrustJudge,一种概率框架,包含两项创新:(1)分布敏感评分,从离散评分概率中计算连续期望值,保留信息熵以实现更精确打分;(2)似然感知聚合,利用双向偏好概率或困惑度解决传递性冲突。我们形式化了当前框架的理论局限,并证明 TrustJudge 可克服这些缺陷。在 Llama-3.1-70B-Instruct 作为评判者、使用自建数据集的实验中,TrustJudge 将得分对比不一致性降低 8.43%(从 23.32% 降至 14.89%),成对传递性不一致性降低 10.82%(从 15.22% 降至 4.40%),同时保持更高评估准确率。该工作首次系统分析了 LLM-as-a-judge 框架中的评估不一致性,提供理论洞见与实用解决方案,且在多种模型架构与规模上均表现稳定,无需额外训练或人工标注即可提升评估可信度。代码已开源:https://github.com/TrustJudge/TrustJudge。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

The adoption of Large Language Models (LLMs) as automated evaluators (LLM-as-a-judge) has revealed critical inconsistencies in current evaluation frameworks. We identify two fundamental types of inconsistencies: (1) Score-Comparison Inconsistency, where lower-rated responses outperform higher-scored ones in pairwise comparisons, and (2) Pairwise Transitivity Inconsistency, manifested through circular preference chains (A>B>C>A) and equivalence contradictions (A=B=C\neq A). We argue that these issues come from information loss in discrete rating systems and ambiguous tie judgments during pairwise evaluation. We propose TrustJudge, a probabilistic framework that addresses these limitations through two key innovations: 1) distribution-sensitive scoring that computes continuous expectations from discrete rating probabilities, preserving information entropy for more precise scoring, and 2) likelihood-aware aggregation that resolves transitivity violations using bidirectional preference probabilities or perplexity. We also formalize the theoretical limitations of current LLM-as-a-judge frameworks and demonstrate how TrustJudge's components overcome them. When evaluated with Llama-3.1-70B-Instruct as judge using our dataset, TrustJudge reduces Score-Comparison inconsistency by 8.43% (from 23.32% to 14.89%) and Pairwise Transitivity inconsistency by 10.82% (from 15.22% to 4.40%), while maintaining higher evaluation accuracy. Our work provides the first systematic analysis of evaluation framework inconsistencies in LLM-as-a-judge paradigms, offering both theoretical insights and practical solutions for reliable automated assessment. The framework demonstrates consistent improvements across various model architectures and scales, enabling more trustworthy LLM evaluation without requiring additional training or human annotations.
