Folks, I don’t know how it’s possible, but it gets funnier.

I'll be in Suzhou 🇨🇳 at #EMNLP this week presenting "What has been Lost with Synthetic Evaluation?" done with @anamarasovic.bsky.social & @lasha.bsky.social! 🎉 📍Findings Session 1 - Hall C 📅 Wed, November 5, 13:00 - 14:00 arxiv.org/abs/2505.22830

🧠 Can large language models build the very benchmarks used to evaluate them? In “What Has Been Lost with Synthetic Evaluation”, Ana Marasović (@anamarasovic.bsky.social) and collaborators ask what happens when LLMs start generating the datasets used to test their reasoning. (1/6🧵)

What Has Been Lost with Synthetic Evaluation?

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used for data generation. However, creating evaluation benchmarks raises the bar for this emerging paradigm. Benchmarks must target specific phenomena, pe...
