A Finite-Calibration Regime Map for LLM Judge Panels

arXiv:2606.01034v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study when LLM judge panels should be calibrated with low-dimensional stackers versus joint output tables under finite human-label budgets. Low-dimensional stackers have small estimation cost but miss interactions, whereas joint-table calibrators can represent interactions but pay for cell counts and unseen patterns. We cast this tradeoff as a finite-calibration regime map and instantiate it as Finite-Calibration Panel Selection, a deployable validation selector over judge path, prefix size, and aggregator family with table and parametric esti
