arXiv:2605.26046v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Customizing an LLM judge to a specific task or domain often involves optimizing its prompt across multiple evaluation criteria simultaneously. Textual gradient methods automate this for a single judge criterion, however they produce natural-language critiques, not numerical vectors. Thus, the conflict-resolution toolkit of multi-task learning (PCGrad, MGDA) doesn't apply to the multi-objective textual gradient setting. We test five decomposition modes of textual gradient optimizers by varying how much cross-task information the loss, gradient and
The proliferation of LLMs and their application as judges in various tasks is driving the need for more sophisticated optimization methods, highlighting current limitations in multi-objective prompting.
This research addresses a critical technical challenge in refining LLM performance, directly impacting the fidelity and reliability of AI systems used for evaluation and decision-making.
The understanding of how to optimize multi-objective prompts for LLM judges is advanced, potentially leading to more robust and nuanced AI evaluations and reducing the need for manual oversight.
