Calibrating Gemini to Human Raters in Spoken Language Assessment for EFL Learners in Asia

This study demonstrates that while Gemini 2.5 Flash can achieve human-level agreement in assessing EFL learners' spoken English through 10-shot prompting when human raters show moderate consistency, its performance deteriorates when human agreement is excellent, highlighting the need for careful calibration and human supervision despite its ability to evaluate beyond mere word accuracy.

StableEval Arena: A Cost-Aware Agentic Benchmark for Stablecoin Price Stability Prediction

StableEval Arena is a cost-aware benchmark framework that evaluates LLM-backed agentic systems on stablecoin peg-risk prediction by measuring a joint spectrum of forecast quality, operational reliability, and computational cost, revealing that while agents reliably produce structured outputs, they struggle to accurately predict rare severe-stress and sustained-depeg events.
