arXiv:2512.05700v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present a methodology for improving the accuracy of faithfulness evaluation in Large Language Models (LLMs). The proposed methodology is based on the combination of elementary faithfulness metrics into a combined (fused) metric, for the purpose of improving the faithfulness of LLM outputs. The proposed strategy for metric fusion deploys a tree-based model to identify the importance of each metric, which is driven by the integration of human judgements evaluating the faithfulness of LLM responses. This fused metric is demonstrated to correlate more strongly with human judgements across all tested domains for faithfulness. Improving the…

The Honor Magic 8 Lite boasts some of the best battery life on the market, but it’s let down by middling cameras and average performance.

Like most folks, I used to unlock my phone dozens of times a day just to do simple things like check my inbox, see how many steps I’d taken in the Samsung Health app, and toggle noise cancellation on my Galaxy Buds. None of that is particularly hard, but when you repeat it dozens of times a day, the little bits of friction really add up. So I started putting the tools I use the most right on the lock screen. Now I can take a quick look, tap what I need, and move on. This saves me from unlocking…

Even though meatloaf is one of my favorite comfort meals, I’m also picky about how it’s made. I want a meatloaf that’s moist and meaty, isn’t spongy or over-worked, and has hints of onion throughout. Many home cooks achieve the latter by adding a sweet onion, diced or pureed, into the mix. However, I recently discovered an easy swap that’s probably right in your pantry: dried minced onions. Admittedly, this is a swap born out of pure laziness. A few months ago, I found myself with a thawed pound of ground beef and a hankering for meatloaf—but I had no…
