How Trustworthy Are LLM-as-Judge Ratings for Interpretive Responses? Implications for Qualitative Research Workflows

📰 ArXiv cs.AI

Researchers examine the trustworthiness of large language models (LLMs) as judges for interpretive responses in qualitative research workflows

advanced Published 2 Apr 2026
Action Steps
  1. Evaluate the interpretive quality of LLMs
  2. Compare performance across different LLMs
  3. Consider the potential influence of model selection on interpretive outcomes
  4. Develop systematic methods for selecting and validating LLMs in qualitative research workflows
Who Needs to Know This

Qualitative researchers and data scientists can benefit from understanding the limitations and potential biases of LLMs in evaluating interpretive responses, to inform their model selection and workflow design

Key Insight

💡 The trustworthiness of LLMs as judges for interpretive responses is not guaranteed and requires systematic evaluation and comparison across models
