When LLM judges agree, should we believe them?
Conversational AI When LLM judges agree, should we believe them? Discounting the opinions of LLM judges with highly correlated outputs ensures that panels of judges reflect a true diversity of perspectives. Proposes treating judge panels as networks where pairwise dependencies are modeled alongside individual judge reliability, enabling distinction between independent evidence and shared mistakes in unsupervised settings without human reference labels.
