Key points

  • It proposes an LLM-judge-based framework for evaluating the consistency, complexity, and policy coverage of conversational-agent benchmarks without reference labels.
  • It validates the framework with benchmarks generated by LLMs of different strengths and consistently distinguishes quality differences across benchmarks made by models with different capabilities.
  • The metrics also detect the expected drop in quality on deliberately degraded benchmarks.
  • Correlation tests against human annotation show a medium-to-strong statistically significant correlation.
  • It also applies the framework to manually curated benchmarks, such as tau3-bench, to demonstrate practical usefulness.
