Who Judges the Judge? LLM Jury-on-Demand: Building Trustworthy LLM Evaluation Systems
Revolutionizing LLM Evaluation with Dynamic, Learning-Based Juries
As Large Language Models (LLMs) integrate into high-stakes domains, robust evaluation is critical. This paper introduces LLM Jury-on-Demand, a novel framework that moves beyond static evaluation to a dynamic, learning-based system. By predicting individual judge reliability using textual features and assembling optimal juries on demand, this approach significantly enhances the trustworthiness and scalability of LLM evaluation for critical decision-making.

The Challenge of Trustworthy LLM Evaluation
The rapid integration of Large Language Models (LLMs) into high-stakes enterprise applications demands highly reliable, scalable, and context-aware evaluation. Traditional human evaluation is accurate but slow and costly. Automated metrics like BLEU or ROUGE are insufficient for complex generative outputs. The 'LLM-as-a-Judge' paradigm, while scalable, often suffers from systematic biases and inconsistencies, as single LLM judges can be context-dependent and unreliable.
Our LLM Jury-on-Demand framework addresses these critical limitations by introducing a dynamic, learning-based evaluation system. Instead of static juries or single judges, we train reliability predictors to assess when LLM judges will agree with human experts, allowing for the dynamic selection and weighted aggregation of the most reliable judges for each specific data point. This ensures a scalable, adaptive, and highly trustworthy evaluation process.
LLM Jury-on-Demand Framework
Our framework operates through a multi-stage pipeline, beginning with comprehensive feature extraction from input texts (source, context, generated output). These features include textual size, complexity, special words, and embedding-related properties. For each potential LLM judge, task, and evaluation metric, a dedicated XGBoost model is trained to predict its reliability—the probability of agreeing with human experts—at the instance level.
At inference, the system dynamically selects an optimal jury of top K most reliable judges for each data point. Their raw scores are then aggregated using their predicted reliability as weights. This adaptive approach ensures that the evaluation is context-aware, prioritizing the expertise of judges most suited to the specific characteristics of the text being evaluated, thus moving beyond static and biased assessments.
Superior Performance Across Tasks
Experiments on summarization and RAG benchmarks consistently demonstrate that LLM Jury-on-Demand significantly outperforms both single-judge and static-jury baselines. We achieved a mean Kendall’s Tau of 0.68 (±0.02) for RAG-Groundedness, a significant improvement over baseline methods. The system’s dynamic nature allows it to adapt to varying text characteristics, selecting judges most likely to be reliable in that specific context.
Our analysis also revealed that judge reliability is context-dependent, with specific LLMs excelling or struggling based on text properties like character count or compression ratio. The framework effectively identifies and leverages these patterns, leading to more robust and accurate evaluations. This adaptive jury composition ensures higher correlation with human judgment and greater trustworthiness in high-stakes LLM applications.

Simple aggregation, no dynamic adaptation. | Relies on a fixed panel and simple averaging, often yielding lower accuracy due to a lack of context-specific reliability assessment. |
Case Study: Gemini 2.0 Flash in RAG Groundedness
Problem: In the RAG groundedness task, Gemini 2.0 Flash performs well for short responses (low character count). However, its performance significantly degrades for longer responses (high character count), often incorrectly assigning high scores to ungrounded content. This highlights the challenge of fixed judge reliability.
Solution: Our LLM Jury-on-Demand system dynamically identifies this context-dependent unreliability. In the high character count bin, it significantly reduces the selection percentage of Gemini 2.0 Flash, instead favoring more reliable judges like Gemini 2.5 Flash, which maintains high performance. This adaptive selection ensures that even with varying input complexities, the overall jury remains trustworthy and accurate.
Key Takeaway: "The system's jury selection dynamically aligns with model performance... demonstrating that the reliability predictors correctly identify and avoid this weaker judge when it is unreliable."
