Title: Active Testing of Large Language Models via Approximate Neyman Allocation

Abstract:
arXiv:2605.10075v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) require reliable evaluation from pre-training to test-time scaling, making evaluation a recurring rather than one-off cost. As model scales grow and target tasks increasingly demand expert annotators, both the compute and labeling costs needed for each evaluation rise rapidly. Active testing aims to alleviate this bottleneck by approximating the evaluation result from a small but informative subset of the evaluation poo
