HLE-Verified: A Systematic Verification and Structured Revision of Humanity's Last ExamWeiqi Zhai, Zhihai Wang, Jinghang Wang et al.
Humanity's Last Exam (HLE) has become a widely used benchmark for evaluating frontier large language models on challenging, multi-domain questions. However, community-led analyses have raised concerns that HLE contains a non-trivial number of noisy items, which can bias evaluation results and distort cross-model comparisons. To address this challenge, we introduce HLE-Verified, a verified and revised version of HLE with a transparent verification protocol and fine-grained error taxonomy. Our construction follows a two-stage validation-and-repair workflow resulting in a certified benchmark. In Stage I, each item undergoes binary validation of the problem and final answer through domain-expert review and model-based cross-checks, yielding 641 verified items. In Stage II, flawed but fixable items are revised under strict constraints preserving the original evaluation intent, through dual independent expert repairs, model-assisted auditing, and final adjudication, resulting in 1,170 revised-and-certified items. The remaining 689 items are released as a documented uncertain set with explicit uncertainty sources and expertise tags for future refinement. We evaluate seven state-of-the-art language models on HLE and HLE-Verified, observing an average absolute accuracy gain of 7--10 percentage points on HLE-Verified. The improvement is particularly pronounced on items where the original problem statement and/or reference answer is erroneous, with gains of 30--40 percentage points. Our analyses further reveal a strong association between model confidence and the presence of errors in the problem statement or reference answer, supporting the effectiveness of our revisions. Overall, HLE-Verified improves HLE-style evaluations by reducing annotation noise and enabling more faithful measurement of model capabilities.

ClinConsensus: A Consensus-Based Benchmark for Evaluating Chinese Medical LLMs across Difficulty LevelsXiang Zheng, Han Li, Wenjie Luo et al.
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly applied to health management, showing promise across disease prevention, clinical decision-making, and long-term care. However, existing medical benchmarks remain largely static and task-isolated, failing to capture the openness, longitudinal structure, and safety-critical complexity of real-world clinical workflows. We introduce ClinConsensus, a Chinese medical benchmark curated, validated, and quality-controlled by clinical experts. ClinConsensus comprises 2500 open-ended cases spanning the full continuum of care--from prevention and intervention to long-term follow-up--covering 36 medical specialties, 12 common clinical task types, and progressively increasing levels of complexity. To enable reliable evaluation of such complex scenarios, we adopt a rubric-based grading protocol and propose the Clinically Applicable Consistency Score (CACS@k). We further introduce a dual-judge evaluation framework, combining a high-capability LLM-as-judge with a distilled, locally deployable judge model trained via supervised fine-tuning, enabling scalable and reproducible evaluation aligned with physician judgment. Using ClinConsensus, we conduct a comprehensive assessment of several leading LLMs and reveal substantial heterogeneity across task themes, care stages, and medical specialties. While top-performing models achieve comparable overall scores, they differ markedly in reasoning, evidence use, and longitudinal follow-up capabilities, and clinically actionable treatment planning remains a key bottleneck. We release ClinConsensus as an extensible benchmark to support the development and evaluation of medical LLMs that are robust, clinically grounded, and ready for real-world deployment.

Generate Then Correct: Single Shot Global Correction for Aspect Sentiment Quad PredictionShidong He, Haoyu Wang, Wenjie Luo
Aspect-based sentiment analysis (ABSA) extracts aspect-level sentiment signals from user-generated text, supports product analytics, experience monitoring, and public-opinion tracking, and is central to fine-grained opinion mining. A key challenge in ABSA is aspect sentiment quad prediction (ASQP), which requires identifying four elements: the aspect term, the aspect category, the opinion term, and the sentiment polarity. However, existing studies usually linearize the unordered quad set into a fixed-order template and decode it left-to-right. With teacher forcing training, the resulting training-inference mismatch (exposure bias) lets early prefix errors propagate to later elements. The linearization order determines which elements appear earlier in the prefix, so this propagation becomes order-sensitive and is hard to repair in a single pass. To address this, we propose a method, Generate-then-Correct (G2C): a generator drafts quads and a corrector performs a single-shot, sequence-level global correction trained on LLM-synthesized drafts with common error patterns. On the Rest15 and Rest16 datasets, G2C outperforms strong baseline models.
