AI总结:

本文针对软件工程中LLM生成制品评估缺乏可靠可扩展方法的问题,综述现有LLM-as-a-Judge相关研究、分析局限与空白,提出2030年发展路线图,以推动该范式的研究应用,提升评估可扩展性。

摘要:

大语言模型(Large Language Models, LLMs)在软件工程(software engineering, SE)中的快速集成革新了代码生成等任务,产出了海量软件制品。这一增长暴露出一个关键瓶颈:缺乏可扩展、可靠的方法来评估这些输出。人工评估成本高、耗时长,而BLEU等传统自动化指标无法捕捉质量的细微差异。为此,LLM-as-a-Judge(大语言模型作为评判者)范式——即利用LLM进行自动化评估——应运而生。该方法借助LLM的高级推理能力,为在自动化规模下实现类人类的细微评估提供了路径。然而,软件工程领域的LLM-as-a-Judge研究仍处于早期阶段。这篇具有前瞻性的SE 2030论文旨在引导学界推进LLM-as-a-Judge在LLM生成软件制品评估中的应用。我们对现有软件工程相关研究进行了文献综述,分析了其局限性,明确了关键研究空白,并勾勒出详细的路线图。我们设想,到2030年,这些框架将成为可靠、稳健且可扩展的人类替代者,能够对软件制品进行一致、多维度的评估。我们的工作旨在推动LLM-as-a-Judge框架的研究与应用,最终提升软件制品评估的可扩展性。

英文摘要:

The rapid integration of Large Language Models (LLMs) into software engineering (SE) has revolutionized tasks like code generation, producing a massive volume of software artifacts. This surge has exposed a critical bottleneck: the lack of scalable, reliable methods to evaluate these outputs. Human evaluation is costly and time-consuming, while traditional automated metrics like BLEU fail to capture nuanced quality aspects. In response, the LLM-as-a-Judge paradigm - using LLMs for automated evaluation - has emerged. This approach leverages the advanced reasoning of LLMs, offering a path toward human-like nuance at automated scale. However, LLM-as-a-Judge research in SE is still in its early stages. This forward-looking SE 2030 paper aims to steer the community toward advancing LLM-as-a-Judge for evaluating LLM-generated software artifacts. We provide a literature review of existing SE studies, analyze their limitations, identify key research gaps, and outline a detailed roadmap. We envision these frameworks as reliable, robust, and scalable human surrogates capable of consistent, multi-faceted artifact evaluation by 2030. Our work aims to foster research and adoption of LLM-as-a-Judge frameworks, ultimately improving the scalability of software artifact evaluation.
