Measuring Intelligence Beyond Human Scale

Jerry Han, Rafael Moschopoulos, Ella Colby, Vishrut Goyal, Andrew Tu, Kia Ghods, Mark Braverman, Elad Hazan

How can we measure intelligence beyond human capability? Human-authored benchmarks saturate, and above human capability, examiners may not know which tasks are both hard and verifiable. We argue that this difficulty is inherent to absolute-scale evaluation and propose a new paradigm based on relative measurement in which models generate public challenges that separate other systems. Aggregating these outcomes yields an adversarial psychometric rating system that can scale with the systems being measured. We describe practical protocols that reduce incentives for private-information attacks, support judge-free adjudication, and naturally scale with agent capabilities. We instantiate the framework across verifiable and open-ended, non-verifiable domains, illustrating how model-generated evaluation can continue to measure systems beyond the human frontier.

We are moving from an information age to the age of intelligence. A decade, or possibly less than that, data will not be the gold anymore rather the derived intelligence out of the data and the information we posses from the edge of the network. Existing Edge Intelligence researc…

To Add Is Machine, To Delete Is Human: Measuring and Mitigating Deletion Avoidance in LLM Code Editing

Amir M. Ebrahimi, Mohammed Mehedi Hasan, Aaditya Bhatia, Gopi Krishnan Rajbahadur, Ahmed E. Hassan

Large language models increasingly write and repair production code, yet evidence is mounting that their test-passing patches leave codebases harder to maintain. We identify one concrete source: deletion avoidance, the systematic tendency to retain code that an intended edit requ…

Artificial Epanorthosis: Why large language models overuse a classical rhetorical figure, and how to mitigate it

Federico Boggia

A rhetorical figure that Cicero and Quintilian catalogued two thousand years ago reappears, systematically, in the text of large language models: epanorthosis, the self-correction of the specimen «This is not a course. It is a journey of transformation». This essay argues that th…

ARB: A Matched Authorship-Rewriting Benchmark Dataset for AI-Text Detector Evaluation

Gaetano Perrone, Simon Pietro Romano

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…

CalibratedRubric: Task-Adaptive Rubric Banks for Open-Ended LLM Evaluation

Mengting Chen, Yanshu Sun, Wanting Liang, Beidi Luan, Rui Sun, Dezhi Chen, et al.

Reliable evaluation of open-ended LLM outputs requires fine-grained rubrics, yet expert curation is costly and difficult to scale. Existing automated pipelines rely on strict judge unanimity and binary variance filters, which cannot distinguish measurable rubrics from informative…

ExtractBench: A Benchmark for Schema-Guided Enterprise Document Extraction

Boyang Zhang, Adrian Lyjak, Eli Stewart, Zhaoqi Li, Simon Suo

Enterprise workflows increasingly rely on agents for \emph{schema-guided extraction}: given a document and a user-defined schema, the agent faithfully follows the schema to produce the correct output with source evidence as grounding metadata. We present ExtractBench, a benchmark…
