CollabEval: Enhancing LLM-as-a-Judge via Multi-Agent Collaboration
About
Large Language Models (LLMs) have revolutionized AI-generated content evaluation, with the LLM-as-a-Judge paradigm becoming increasingly popular. However, current single-LLM evaluation approaches face significant challenges, including inconsistent judgments and inherent biases from pre-training data. To address these limitations, we propose CollabEval, a novel multi-agent evaluation framework that implements a three-phase Collaborative Evaluation process: initial evaluation, multi-round discussion, and final judgment. Unlike existing approaches that rely on competitive debate or single-model evaluation, CollabEval emphasizes collaboration among multiple agents with strategic consensus checking for efficiency. Our extensive experiments demonstrate that CollabEval consistently outperforms single-LLM approaches across multiple dimensions while maintaining robust performance even when individual models struggle. The framework provides comprehensive support for various evaluation criteria while ensuring efficiency through its collaborative design.
