###### Abstract

Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated impressive performance on
Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks, such as Question Answering,
Summarization, and Classification. The use of LLMs as evaluators, that can
rank or score the output of other models (usually LLMs) has become
increasingly popular, due to the limitations of current evaluation techniques
including the lack of appropriate benchmarks, metrics, cost, and access to
human annotators. While LLMs are capable of handling approximately $100$
languages, the majority of languages beyond the top $20$ lack systematic
evaluation across various tasks, metrics, and benchmarks. This creates an
urgent need to scale up multilingual evaluation to ensure a precise
understanding of LLM performance across diverse languages. LLM-based
evaluators seem like the perfect solution to this problem, as they do not
require human annotators, human-created references, or benchmarks and can
theoretically be used to evaluate any language covered by the LLM. In this
paper, we investigate whether LLM-based evaluators can help scale up
multilingual evaluation. Specifically, we calibrate LLM-based evaluation
against 20k human judgments of five metrics across three text-generation tasks
in eight languages. Our findings indicate that LLM-based evaluators may
exhibit bias towards higher scores and should be used with caution and should
always be calibrated with a dataset of native speaker judgments, particularly
in low-resource and non-Latin script languages.

##  1 Introduction

Large Language Models (LLMs) perform impressively on many tasks today,
surpassing human-level performance on some tasks and domains OpenAI (2023);
Touvron et al. (2023); Google et al. (2023). LLM performance evaluation on
standard NLP benchmarks can help estimate how well an LLM is likely to perform
in the real world. However, LLM benchmarking has limitations due to a number
of factors, including the lack of evaluation benchmarks that represent real-
world tasks, benchmark saturation, data contamination, and the low correlation
between automated metrics and human judgment Jacovi et al. (2023); Chang et
al. (2023); Reiter (2018); Liu and Liu (2008). As a result, several evaluation
approaches have been explored beyond benchmarking to estimate the capabilities
of these models Chang et al. (2023).

While LLMs exhibit strong performance in various tasks in English, their
capabilities are restricted when it comes to other languages. As a result, the
digital divide may worsen, preventing a significant portion of the global
population from reaping the benefits of LLMs and potentially causing them to
be disproportionately harmed by LLMs. Ahuja et al. (2023) conduct a
comprehensive benchmarking of LLMs across $16$ tasks and $71$ languages and
show that generative LLMs such as GPT3 Brown et al. (2020); OpenAI (2022),
GPT4 OpenAI (2023) and BLOOMZ Muennighoff et al. (2022) are worse than SOTA
fine-tuned models such as TULRv6 Patra et al. (2023) and XLM-R Conneau et al.
(2020) on many languages and tasks. They find that LLMs perform worse in
languages that are transcribed in non-Latin scripts and under-resourced
languages. In fact, performance on languages beyond the top $50$ highest-
resourced languages is largely unknown, due to the lack of language coverage
in multilingual benchmarks Ahuja et al. (2022) and the lack of other
systematic evaluations beyond benchmarking covering a diverse set of
languages. Certain language families, such as Indo-European, are over-
represented in multilingual benchmarks with other language families such as
Niger-Congo and Sino-Tibetan having very little presence. There is a scarcity
of benchmarks designed to assess tasks that simulate actual LLM usage in real-
world scenarios. The metrics employed in these benchmarks might not
consistently align with human evaluations and could be ill-suited for
languages with rich morphology or complex writing systems as well as phenomena
arising from language contact such as borrowing, code-mixing, and
transliteration.

Clearly, evaluation by native speakers proficient in a language is the gold
standard for getting an accurate picture of the performance of a model,
particularly in complex tasks without well-defined automated metrics. However,
budget constraints, turnaround time, and the lack of easy access to native
speakers in some languages lead to challenges in scaling. This leads to a
situation in which the performance of LLMs is unknown for most languages of
the world, leading to an urgent need to scale up multilingual evaluation Ahuja
et al. (2022) to ensure that LLMs perform well on many languages of the world.

A surprising property of generative LLMs is that they are not only able to
perform tasks that they are trained for such as text completion and
generation, but can also be taught to perform other tasks, such as
classification and sequence labeling via prompting and in-context learning.
This has led to the uses of LLMs not just for generative tasks, but also tasks
such as sentiment analysis, reasoning Mao et al. (2023), and picking the less
harmful alternative from a pair of LLM-bot responses Bai et al. (2022). The
success of these LLMs in these tasks has led to the question of whether LLMs
can replace human annotators, or help augment human evaluation Gilardi et al.
(2023).

Considering the urgent need to assess LLMs in a broader range of languages to
identify performance disparities, and acknowledging that obtaining access to
native speakers can be challenging or costly, utilizing LLMs as multilingual
evaluators appears to be an ideal solution. However, since LLMs have
demonstrated inferior performance even in some high-resource languages and
have not been evaluated extensively across languages on dimensions such as
toxicity, fairness, and robustness (due to the absence of such benchmarks), it
is prudent to proceed with caution. Failing to do so can lead to misleading
results which may further widen the digital divide.

In this work, we study whether LLM-based evaluation can be the answer to
scaling up multilingual evaluation. In other words, can LLMs serve as
substitutes or supplements for human native speakers in delivering useful and
accurate insights regarding LLM outputs in non-English languages, while
considering diverse aspects of interest like linguistic acceptability, task
accomplishment, and safety? Our main contributions are as follows:

  * •

We present the first evaluation of LLMs as multilingual evaluators to examine
whether LLMs can be used to scale up multilingual evaluation.

  * •

We calibrate LLM judgments across three tasks, eight languages, and five
dimensions by comparing them to over $20$K human judgments on the same tasks,
languages, and dimensions.

  * •

We evaluate a variety of prompting strategies for LLM-based evaluation in the
multilingual setting

  * •

We provide a framework for evaluating LLM-evaluators in the multilingual
setting that can generalize across tasks, metrics, and languages.

  * •

We suggest best practices and provide recommendations for future work.

##  2 Related work

LLMs have recently become popular for evaluation and annotation. Broadly,
there are two main uses of LLMs as evaluators: LLMs can be used as
alternatives to metrics that compare human and machine-generated text, such as
BLEU Papineni et al. (2002) and ROUGE Lin (2004). Word overlap-based metrics
are limited, and LLM-based scorers have been shown to outperform them.
GPTScore Fu et al. (2023) is a popular LLM-based framework that can be used to
score model outputs based on human-created references along various
dimensions. However, these scores still rely on having examples of human-
created reference data.

The second use case of LLMs as evaluators is when the LLM is presented with
the output of a system (usually an LLM, sometimes the same model) and asked to
judge its quality or safety without any human output to compare against. The
LLM is taught how to perform this evaluation with the help of the task
description, rubric, and sometimes, one or more examples in the prompt. This
is the use case we focus on in this work.

Gilardi et al. (2023) prompt ChatGPT to annotate Tweets across various
dimensions such as topic and stance and find that it outperforms crowdworkers.
Shen et al. (2023) explore the use of GPT3.5 as an evaluator for abstractive
summarization and find that although GPT is a useful evaluator, as the quality
of summarization improves, the quality of evaluation degrades. Along similar
lines, Wang et al. (2023a) evaluate ChatGPT on various NLG tasks and find that
it has a high correlation with human judgments. Kocmi and Federmann (2023)
evaluate the effectiveness of LLMs on evaluation of translation quality and
find that LLMs starting from GPT3.5 and above achieve SOTA performance on
translation evaluation benchmarks. Fernandes et al. (2023) leverage LLMs for
fine-grained annotation of errors in Machine Translation outputs. LLM-based
evaluators have also been used to score and refine outputs they produce, as
described in Madaan et al. (2023), ultimately producing outputs that are
scored higher on human and automated metrics than the original outputs.
Naismith et al. (2023) explore the use of LLM-based evaluators on scoring
written discourse for coherence and find a strong correlation with human
judgments. The success of LLM-based evaluators has led many to question
whether LLM-based evaluation can replace or augment human evaluation Chiang
and Lee (2023).

However, there have been studies showing that LLM-based evaluators can have
some biases. Pangakis et al. (2023) highlight the need for validating LLM-
based evaluators on a task-by-task basis. Liu et al. (2023) perform NLG
evaluation using GPT-4 and find that although it correlates well with human
judgments, it may potentially be biased towards preferring LLM-generated
texts. Wang et al. (2023b) point out that GPT4-based evaluators have
positional bias and scores can be easily altered by changing the order of
appearance. There are also several ethical issues with the use of LLMs as
evaluators described in Chiang and Lee (2023). Zhang et al. (2023) suggest
that wider and deeper LLMs are fairer evaluators, while Chan et al. (2023)
introduce a framework for multiple evaluator agents to reach a consensus,
mimicking the situation of having multiple annotators.

Although there has been some work measuring the calibration of LLM-based
evaluators to human judgments, previous studies have focused on English, and
ours is the first work (to the best of our knowledge) that addresses this
problem in the multilingual context.

##  3 Experimental Setup

We perform experiments on a text generation application that is powered by
GPT-4. We evaluate the following sub-tasks:

  * •

Open Prompt: This takes in a short prompt and generates a document according
to the instructions in the prompt. The document generated is $2,048$ tokens;
roughly corresponding to one page in English and Spanish, and slightly less in
other languages.

  * •

Continue Writing: This takes in two passages (“left” and “right”) and
generates content that makes a smooth transition between them. One of the two
passages may be empty. The passage may be up to $1,000$ tokens long.

  * •

Summarize: This is the standard summarization task - it takes in a document of
at least $500$ words and generates a brief summary. It may take an optional
user prompt specifying the output format (e.g., keypoints).

We cover the following languages: English, French, German, Spanish, Chinese,
Japanese, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, and Czech. We refer to Brazilian
Portuguese (pt-br) as Brazilian in our figures and tables. Of these, the first
six are classified as very high resource languages (Class 5, or “the
winners”), while the last three are classified as Class 4 (“the underdogs”)
according to Joshi et al. (2020). We plan to extend our study to lower-
resource languages in the future. We study the following dimensions of
interest: linguistic acceptability, quality, task completion, and safety. We
break these down into five metrics defined as follows:

  * •

Linguistic Acceptability (LA): This measures whether the text sounds right to
a native speaker. The values of this metric are [$0$, $1$, $2$], with $0$
corresponding to “not acceptable”, $1$ corresponding to “some errors, but
acceptable” and $2$ to “perfectly acceptable”. We chose LA as opposed to
grammaticality to ensure a comparable, native-speaker-led evaluation that did
not require formal training in the language.

  * •

Output Content Quality (OCQ): Whether the general quality of the content is
good or not, with values [$0$, $1$, $2$]. A score of $0$ could indicate that
the output is in the wrong language, is repetitive, or sounds like it has been
scraped from the web, or translated. A score of 1 indicates that the output is
okay in terms of grammar and word choice but still sounds awkward in the
language. A score of $2$ indicates that the text is of high quality.

  * •

Task Quality (TQ): This measures the ability of the model to follow the given
instructions in the prompt. The values of this metric are [$0$, $1$, $2$],
with $0$ indicating that the model did not follow the instructions at all.
Likewise, a score of $1$ indicates that the model followed the instructions
approximately well and $2$ that it followed perfectly well. The difference
between TQ and OCQ is that the latter focuses on whether the content is
appealing to a user, while TQ emphasizes the ability of the model to follow
the given instructions.

  * •

Problematic Content (PC): Whether there was any offensive or problematic
content in the output. This is a binary metric, with $0$ indicating that the
output contains this type of content.

  * •

Hallucinations (H): This measures how well-grounded the model’s output was to
the input content, and/or whether the model output counterfactual information
conflicted with the input content. It is a binary metric, with $0$ indicating
the presence of hallucinations.

###  3.1 Human evaluation setup

We asked human judges to evaluate the output of LLM-based systems configured
to perform the three tasks described earlier. Each entry was annotated by
three annotators. They were contracted through an external annotator services
company at a starting rate depending on locale ranging from $$14$ USD/hr and
up to $$30$ USD/hr. The pay was adjusted based on locale and experience level.
Each annotator was given $250$ texts to judge. We used a subset of the
annotated data for our experiments.

####  3.1.1 Annotation guidelines

We provided annotators with the following information: general instructions
about the task (including specific instructions from the prompt) and high-
level descriptions of the metrics that we are seeking to evaluate, a
description of the file that contained data to be evaluated, and the output
format expected. Then we provided detailed descriptions of each metric
including the range of values for each metric and examples in English. These
examples were provided in the context of different tasks, as each metric could
have slightly different interpretations for different tasks.

####  3.1.2 Data statistics

Figure 1(a) contains the statistics of the human evaluation dataset for the
three tasks across the languages we consider. We create a subset of this data
for experimenting with prompting variations shown in Figure 1(b). Our full
dataset contains over $7000$ data points, while the smaller subset contains
over $2500$ data points. Each of the data points in our dataset was annotated
by 3 annotators.

###  3.2 LLM-based evaluators

We use the GPT4-32K model1112023-03-15-preview as our LLM-based evaluator with
a temperature of $0$, except in our ablation experiments. The model was
accessed through Azure.

####  3.2.1 Prompts

Our evaluation prompts are constructed using the  {{guidance}}
toolkit222https://github.com/guidance-ai/guidance/tree/main. guidance is a DSL
that uses handlebars templating to enable the specification of prompts that
interleave instructions and generation with data and logic. This makes it
simpler to construct and validate complex prompts.

Evaluation prompts were written to be clear, simple, and not tuned for the
data or task. All prompts for evaluation were specified in English, as past
work has shown that instructions in native languages can lead to worse
performance Ahuja et al. (2023).

In writing the evaluation prompts, we stated with simple unstructured
specifications (Natural language sentences with no formatting or styling) and
found that it often led to errors in formatting the outputs correctly or even
returning all the expected outputs. We found adding styling and formatting,
for example, outputting JSON by providing the prompt with a JSON schema for
the expected attributes improved the reliability of the LLM outputs.

We tried to keep the task and metric description as close as possible to the
text that was shown to human annotators for evaluations in the default
prompting variation. Each prompt consists of system, user, and assistant
components as shown in Figure 2 in a generic prompt schema. The metric and
task description components of the prompt are shown in Figures 3 and 5.

###  3.3 Prompting variations

First, we experiment with multiple variations of prompts based on how many
metrics we evaluate in a single prompt and how many examples we provide in the
prompt.

  * •

Single Call – Zero Shot: In this variation, we call GPT-4 once per metric,
without any in-context examples.

  * •

Single Call – Few-Shot: In this variation, we call GPT-4 once per metric, with
any in-context examples.

  * •

Compound Call: In this variation, we call GPT-4 once for all the metrics in a
single prompt.

For few-shot prompting, we provide examples in the prompt of human judgments
for the same task and metric from a held-out dev set. We take the majority
vote from the three human annotations per sample as the aggregate class for
that sample to choose our few-shot examples. For each task, language, and
metric we choose up to two samples per possible class for that metric.
Therefore, we have a minimum of two and a maximum of six exemplars as few-shot
examples.

###  3.4 Calibration with human judgments

We analyze how well-calibrated the variants of the LLM-evaluator are to native
speakers as well as the inter-annotator agreement between the three annotators
who scored each data point.

  * •

Inter-annotator agreement across the three annotators: We measure Inter-
annotator agreement (IAA) between the three annotators, referred to as
Annot1,Annot2,Annot3. We use Percentage Agreement (PA) to measure IAA.
Percentage agreement simply computes the fraction of data points on which both
parties match. Specifically, we used the irrCAC
library333https://github.com/afergadis/irrCAC for this metric.

  * •

IAA (3 annotators) and GPT: We measure IAA between the majority score of the
three annotators and the LLM-evaluator. We refer to this as AnnotAgg,GPT4 and
use PA to measure it.

  * •

Class distribution: We analyze the class distribution of scores across tasks,
metrics, and languages to check for potential biases in the dataset and LLM-
evaluator.

We perform experiments contrasting compound and single-call prompting on the
full dataset and zero-shot vs. few-shot prompting on the smaller dataset. We
analyze how well-calibrated our LLM-based evaluators are with respect to human
judgments by examining PA, and class distribution of scores.

###  3.5 Ablation experiments

In addition, we do some ablation experiments to check for consistency, the
effect of hyperparameters, and detailed metric descriptions. We perform these
ablations on the smaller dataset.

  * •

Consistency check: We prompt GPT-4 with the same prompt five times to check
its consistency.

  * •

Sensitivity analysis: We check the sensitivity of the Linguistic Acceptability
metric evaluation by randomly shuffling $10$% of the words in all sentences
and checking if the LA score provided by the model changes.

  * •

Temperature variation: We vary the temperature parameter to check its effect
on LLM evaluation

  * •

More detailed instructions: In our initial experiments, we provide simple
instructions to the LLM-based evaluators similar to instructions provided to
humans. In this variation, we provide much more detailed descriptions of the
metrics, as shown in Figure 4 for linguistic acceptability444Other metrics are
included in Appendix A.1.

##  4 Results

###  4.1 Percentage Agreement

In this set of graphs, we look at the percentage agreement between LLM-
evaluator and the annotators. We also look at agreement between the
annotators. We aggregate the results by task, metric, and language.

Figure 6(a) and 6(b) show the percentage agreement between the aggregate of
the human annotator scores and LLM-evaluator for the full and small datasets.
The figures show both joint (compound) and single prompting techniques for the
full dataset and the few-shot prompting technique for the smaller dataset. We
see that the PA between the annotators and GPT is lowest compared to the PA
between the human annotators for Japanese and Czech, with the PA between
annotators also being lower for Chinese.

(a) PA by language: Full dataset

(b) PA by language: Small dataset

Figure 6: Percentage Agreement (PA) by language

Next, we look at PA grouped by metric in Figures 7(a) and 7(b) for the full
and smaller datasets with the same prompting variations as before. We find
that the PA of the LLM-evaluator with the annotators is lower for the OCQ
metric. We also find that the PA between annotators is relatively low for the
TQ metric, while all the PA values are very high for the problematic content
metrics.

(a) PA by metric: Full dataset

(b) PA by metric: Small dataset

Figure 7: Percentage Agreement (PA) by metric

Finally, we look at PA aggregated by task in Figures 8(a) and 8(b). We find
that PA is lower for the “Continue Writing” task, while the PA between GPT and
the annotators is lower than the agreement between annotators for the “Open
Prompt" and “Continue Writing” tasks.

(a) PA by task: Full dataset

(b) PA by task: Small dataset

Figure 8: Percentage Agreement (PA) by task

Overall, we find that the LLM-evaluator prompted using the compound prompt has
a lower agreement with human annotators than the single prompt variation. We
also find that adding few-shot examples does not increase the PA in our
experiments. For the remaining ablation experiments, we use the single prompt
variation without few-shot examples.

###  4.2 Class distribution

In this set of graphs, we seek to examine the distributions of the scores from
native speakers and LLM-evaluator. There are three cases to consider for
metrics that have three values: Full agreement between all three annotators in
which all three annotators give the same score, partial agreement between the
annotators where two of the three give the same score and no agreement, where
all three annotators give different scores. In metrics that have binary
values, we only have full or partial agreement. We group annotations into
these classes and analyze responses across these classes.

(a) Compound call - English

(b) Single Call - English

(c) Compound call - Spanish

(d) Single Call - Spanish

(e) Compound call - French

(f) Single Call - French

(g) Compound call - German

(h) Single Call - German

(i) Compound call - Italian

(j) Single Call - Italian

Figure 9: Class distribution per language (En, Es, Fr, De, It). Results are
aggregated over all tasks and metrics with 3 classes (LA, OCQ, TQ).

We present results for metrics that have three values (LA, OCQ, and TQ), with
$0$ corresponding to the lowest score and $2$ corresponding to the highest
score. In Figures 19(a) and 19(b), we find that the LLM-evaluator provides a
score of 2 in most cases, particularly in cases where human annotators
disagree. This is even more evident in the case of non-English languages where
there is partial agreement or no agreement between the annotators (around
$15$% of the time on average).

Next, we look at the same graphs for languages that are either lower-resourced
or not written in the Latin script. In Figures 20(c) and 20(d) we find that
the LLM-evaluator almost never provides scores of $0$ and $1$ in the 26% of
cases that annotators disagree and find similar results for Japanese in
Figures 20(e) and 20(f) and Czech in Figures 20(g) and 20(h). Overall, we find
that LLM-based evaluators give a score of 2 in most cases. While this is
consistent with human evaluations in a large part of the dataset, the LLM-
based evaluator continues to assign a score of $2$ even when humans disagree
or provide lower scores.

(a) Compound call - Portuguese (Br)

(b) Single Call - Portuguese (Br)

(c) Compound call - Chinese

(d) Single Call - Chinese

(e) Compound call - Japanese

(f) Single Call - Japanese

(g) Compound call - Czech

(h) Single Call - Czech

Figure 10: Class distribution per language (Pt(Br), Zh, Ja, Cz). Results are
aggregated over all tasks and metrics with $3$ classes (LA, OCQ, TQ).

####  4.2.1 Consistency check

We use a temperature of $0$ in the consistency check experiments and find that
we receive the same score and justification in each of the five tries. This
indicates that the LLM-based evaluator shows high consistency.

###  4.3 Sensitivity to perturbations

As described earlier, we perturb the word order of sentences and check the
sensitivity of the Linguistic Acceptability metric. Figure 11 shows the
distribution of cases per language per task where the LLM-based evaluator
changed its evaluation from a higher score to a lower score. We can observe
that the evaluator shows the most sensitivity to inputs for the Summarization
task for all languages except Japanese. For Insert, Chinese and Japanese show
very little sensitivity. For Start, Chinese and Japanese show no sensitivity
to the perturbations. One possible explanation for this could be that the
evaluator is genuinely less sensitive to these languages. Alternatively, it
might be attributed to the flexible word order characteristics of Chinese and
Japanese.

Figure 11: Percentage of samples where GPT evaluation changed from a higher
score to a lower score per language per task. Note: We do not have Chinese and
Czech for Summarize in smaller dataset.

###  4.4 Temperature variation

Figures 12(a), 12(b) and 12(c) show the PA values for temperatures of $0$,
$0.3$, $0.7$ and $1.0$ aggregated across each language, task and metric
respectively. We observe that PA reduces as we increase temperature,
indicating that a temperature of $0$ should be used for LLM-based evaluators.

variations

###  4.5 More detailed instructions

One of the challenges with LLM evaluation is sensitivity to prompting
instructions, which can greatly affect the performance of the LLM on tasks,
including evaluation. Since we observe that the LLM-evaluator tends to be
biased toward producing higher scores, we experiment with adding more detailed
instructions to the prompt. The detailed instructions for all metrics can be
found in the Appendix and were generated by querying GPT-4 to produce these
instructions by providing it the instructions given to annotators and manually
modifying them.

Figures 13(a), 13(b) and 13(c) compare the PA of the LLM-evaluators with
detailed instructions vs. the simpler instructions described earlier.
Interestingly, even though PA drops slightly for all metrics with the detailed
instructions, we find that the LLM-based evaluator may be slightly less biased
towards producing high scores with these instructions as shown in Figures
14(a) and 14(b). However, more investigation is needed to determine whether
detailed instructions or a different prompting strategy can eliminate the bias
toward high scores.

##  5 Discussion and Limitations

Overall, our results indicate that GPT-based evaluators have relatively high
consistency for non-English languages when set to a temperature of 0. They
also display a fair sensitivity to input variations, especially in aspects
like linguistic acceptability. While LLM-based evaluators show a high
Percentage Agreement, there is a noticeable bias towards positive scores,
particularly when human opinions differ. It remains uncertain what score an
LLM-based evaluator should provide when humans cannot reach a consensus, but
consistently high scores in such situations might create a misleading
impression of good performance in more challenging evaluations. We find that
PA and bias towards higher scores are particularly evident in non-Latin script
languages such as Chinese and Japanese, and lower-resource languages such as
Czech, which is consistent with prior work on the performance of LLMs on
various tasks Ahuja et al. (2023).

We experiment with several prompting strategies for LLM-based evaluators and
find that evaluating a single metric at a time produces better results than
evaluating all metrics in one go, which comes at the cost of having to make
multiple calls to the LLM. We also find that providing few-shot examples does
not help improve performance. We also provide more detailed instructions to
the LLM-evaluator but find that it does not eliminate the problem of bias
toward higher scores. Future work in this direction includes exploring better
prompting approaches including automatically tuning prompts to a held-out set.
In this work, we only use evaluators based on GPT-4. An interesting future
direction is the use of smaller models for evaluation or models trained with
better coverage of non-English data.

In this work, we utilize a dataset comprising human assessments of a text
generation system executing various tasks in eight languages. As we do not
regulate the quality of the system’s output, most of the generated texts
receive positive ratings from human evaluators. Consequently, the high
Percentage Agreement’s origin remains unclear – whether it stems from the
inclination of the LLM-evaluator to assign high scores or not. In future work,
we aim to replicate this study using a dataset with a more balanced
distribution of human judgments, achieved by controlling the output quality.
We also intend to make this dataset available to the research community for
calibrating LLM-based evaluators. An important research direction is the
creation of datasets with good language coverage, multiple annotators per data
point, and clear annotation instructions, covering a variety of dimensions to
calibrate LLM-based evaluators. Exploring the development of various evaluator
personas to represent diverse perspectives of human evaluators and achieve
consensus is another research direction that needs further investigation.

Our results in this paper show that LLM-based evaluators should be calibrated
with human evaluation in the multilingual setting, particularly on low-
resource and non-Latin script languages. We also show that certain metrics
corresponding to output quality and task completion may be challenging for
LLM-based evaluators. Hence, we advocate for a cautious approach in using LLM-
based evaluators for non-English languages and suggest that all LLM-based
multilingual evaluations should be calibrated with a set of human-labeled
judgments in each language before deployment.

##  6 Conclusion

In this paper, we highlight the urgent problem of scaling up multilingual
evaluation and explore whether LLM-based evaluators can be a potential
solution. We introduce the first assessment of LLMs as multilingual evaluators
and compare their performance against human judgments across eight languages.
We experiment with various prompting strategies for LLM-based evaluation,
including single and joint calls and providing few-shot examples, and conduct
ablation studies to test for sensitivity and consistency. While we find that
LLM-based evaluators show high consistency with human evaluation when
annotators agree and rate outputs as positive, LLM-based evaluators may be
biased towards giving a higher rating for cases that annotators do not agree
on. Our work indicates that LLM-based evaluators need to be used cautiously in
the multilingual setting, particularly on languages on which LLMs are known to
perform poorly. Future work in this direction includes the creation of high-
quality datasets for calibrating LLM-based evaluators in multiple languages.
The use of LLM-based evaluation raises ethical concerns that warrant
consideration before implementing such solutions, particularly in a
multilingual context. Languages with insufficient benchmarks and resources may
experience a disproportionate impact, as they could solely rely on LLMs for
evaluation, potentially leading to unintended consequences. A hybrid solution
with LLM-based evaluators and native speakers in-the-loop is a potential way
forward to scale up multilingual evaluation and ensure that no language is
left unevaluated.
