Robust Conformal Consensus: Multi-Agent LLM-as-a-Judge Interval Evaluation with Conformal Prediction

Abstract
LLM-as-a-Judge has emerged as a promising paradigm for evaluating natural language generation. However, the uncertainty associated with such evaluations remains largely unexplored, which limits their reliability in real-world applications. Although conformal prediction offers a principled framework for uncertainty quantification, existing approaches typically apply it to a single LLM judge, overlooking the variability introduced by using different LLM evaluators. In this work, we propose a robust uncertainty estimation framework for multi-agent LLM-as-a-Judge evaluation. Our approach constructs conformal prediction intervals for LLM-based scores from multiple LLMs. By considering intervals from different LLM judges, we obtain more stable and reliable uncertainty estimates. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method produces valid prediction intervals with coverage guarantees, and that interval-based aggregation across multiple judges leads to more stable evaluation outcomes.
