Feedback-to-Rubrics: Can We Learn Expert Criteria from Inline Comments?

arXiv:2605.29857v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used for writing and review support, but their usefulness depends on context-dependent criteria, such as expert preferences or organization-specific conventions, that are often tacit, undocumented, and difficult to elicit directly. We propose a problem setting for learning reusable natural-language rubrics from accumulated inline comments on artifacts such as human-written or LLM-generated drafts. Our method infers rubrics from these comments and iteratively refines them by observing comment-wise mism

Why this matters
Why now

The proliferation of LLMs in writing and review processes, coupled with the need for context-specific guidance, makes the development of automated rubric learning highly relevant.

Why it’s important

This research addresses a critical challenge in LLM application by enabling them to better understand and apply tacit, domain-specific expert criteria, improving their utility in complex tasks.

What changes

The ability to automatically generate and refine rubrics from inline comments could significantly enhance the quality and consistency of LLM-generated content and assessments.

Winners
  • · AI developers
  • · Organizations using LLMs for internal review
  • · Content creators
  • · Education technology
Losers
  • · Manual rubric creators
  • · Generative AI lacking contextual understanding
Second-order effects
Direct

Further integration of LLMs into content creation and assessment workflows becomes more effective.

Second

Improved customizability of LLM behavior for specific organizational standards and expert preferences.

Third

The development of 'expert AI' that can internalize and apply nuanced human judgment across various domains.
