Emotion recognition of song lyrics is a challenging task since lyrics may not necessarily align with the overall emotion of a song. As a result, lyrics annotation remains largely underexplored. Drawing inspiration from research in large language model (LLM) assisted annotation, we examine the alignment between humans and LLMs for annotation of lyrics by creating a new sentence-level dataset of lyrics. Our observations highlight the subjectivity of the task and the inherent challenges. Following this, we present a hybrid annotation framework that optimizes human and LLM annotation by predicting potential misalignment in annotation.
LLM-based database agents show promise, but differing task scopes, testbeds, and metrics hinder comparison. We identify four gaps between evaluation and production operations: live-environment fidelity (multi-turn read-write interaction with a running database); observation-space…
Standard AI-text detection benchmarks compare human-written text against text generated directly by large language models (LLMs). While prior work has shown that rewriting and paraphrasing can degrade detector performance, it remains unclear whether performance measured on this c…
Lightweight projectors are an established way to connect pre-trained speech encoders with large language models (LLMs), mapping acoustic features into token-level embeddings for tasks like ASR and spoken question answering. Existing systems, however, typically only support a few…
Despite the growing use of large language models (LLMs) as creativity evaluators, evidence of their alignment with human evaluations remains mixed, raising the question of when and why their judgments converge with or diverge from human judgments. Across three studies and six wid…
Large language model (LLM) evaluation spans diverse tasks and benchmarks, yet evidence remains organized around tasks rather than the capabilities they probe. This fragmentation limits cross-study comparison, obscures capabilities tasks recruit, and makes coverage gaps difficult…
Multi-domain machine translation (MDMT) poses a unique challenge due to varying levels of linguistic complexity across domains. Inspired by human translators' ability to adapt reasoning effort based on difficulty, we propose TwT (Translation with Thought), a resource-rational fra…
