LLM as Judge Software Pattern

A LLM as Judge Software Pattern is a software system design model that employs a large language model as an evaluator to assess, rank, or select from multiple candidate outputs rather than generating original responses.

• AKA: LLM Judge Pattern, LLM Evaluator Pattern, LLM Arbitration Pattern.
• Context:
  • It can typically evaluate LLM as Judge Candidate Outputs through llm as judge evaluation criteria.
  • It can typically orchestrate LLM as Judge Multi-Agent Systems with llm as judge coordination mechanisms.
  • It can typically implement LLM as Judge Ensemble Decisions through llm as judge ranking algorithms.
  • It can typically structure LLM as Judge Evaluation Protocols via llm as judge prompt templates.
  • It can often provide LLM as Judge Quality Assurance through llm as judge output validation.
  • It can often integrate LLM as Judge Feedback Loops for llm as judge iterative improvement.
  • It can often support LLM as Judge Bias Detection through llm as judge fairness monitoring.
  • It can range from being a Simple LLM as Judge Software Pattern to being a Complex LLM as Judge Software Pattern, depending on its llm as judge evaluation complexity.
  • It can range from being a Binary LLM as Judge Software Pattern to being a Multi-Criteria LLM as Judge Software Pattern, depending on its llm as judge decision granularity.
  • It can range from being a Centralized LLM as Judge Software Pattern to being a Distributed LLM as Judge Software Pattern, depending on its llm as judge architecture distribution.
  • It can range from being a Domain-Specific LLM as Judge Software Pattern to being a General-Purpose LLM as Judge Software Pattern, depending on its llm as judge application scope.
  • ...
• Examples:
  • LLM as Judge Implementation Types, such as:
    • LLM as Judge Multi-Agent System for llm as judge answer selection.
    • LLM as Judge Contract Review System for llm as judge legal assessment.
    • LLM as Judge Code Synthesis System for llm as judge code evaluation.
  • LLM as Judge Evaluation Methods, such as:
    • Pairwise LLM Comparison Method using llm as judge comparative scoring.
    • LLM as Judge Ranking Evaluation through llm as judge multi-candidate assessment.
    • LLM as Judge Multi-Criteria Assessment via llm as judge weighted evaluation.
  • LLM as Judge Application Domains, such as:
    • Legal LLM as Judge Software Pattern for llm as judge legal compliance evaluation.
    • Healthcare LLM as Judge Software Pattern for llm as judge medical decision support.
    • Financial LLM as Judge Software Pattern for llm as judge risk assessment.
  • ...
• Counter-Examples:
  • LLM-based Agentic Reasoning Design Pattern, which focuses on autonomous agent behavior rather than llm as judge candidate evaluation.
  • Software System Design Model, which provides general software solutions rather than llm as judge specific evaluation patterns.
  • Rule-Based Decision System, which uses deterministic logic rather than llm as judge natural language reasoning.
  • Human Evaluation System, which relies on human judgment rather than llm as judge automated assessment.
