JudgeProfile: Understanding and Steering Subjectivity in LLM Judges
LLM judges are inherently subjective, often favoring different responses in pairwise comparison when neither option is objectively wrong. To study this subjectivity, we introduce JudgeProfile, a framework that dissects LLM evaluation into perception (how a judge compares two responses across specific attributes like clarity, correctness, and detail) and prioritization (how much each attribute influences the final choice). We curate SubjectiveSet, a dataset of 50,013 response pairs from 17 public data sources, evaluated by 21 LLM judges across 87 attributes. We find a hidden consensus in perception: judges frequently agree on attribute judgments even when their overall choices diverge. Bui...
