Incremental Pooled LLM Evaluation for Cost-Effective Retrieval Model Selection
arXiv cs.AI · Published · 3 min read
In 30 seconds
- What happened
- Researchers propose pooled LLM evaluation for selecting retrieval models in RAG systems, reusing relevance judgments across incremental candidate comparisons.
- Why it matters
- Teams building production RAG systems need to benchmark new retrieval configurations without repeatedly judging the same documents.
- Watch out
- Approach validated on four benchmarks and one production system; generalization to other domains and document types remains unclear.
