Abstract
The UCLWI team participated in the Automatic Evaluation of LLMs (AEOLLM) task of the NTCIR-18 [2]. We propose an efficient evaluation pipeline for Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems tailored for low-resource settings. Our method uses ensemble similarity measures combined with a logistic regression classifier to assess answer quality from multiple system outputs using only the available queries and replies. Experiments across diverse tasks demonstrate competitive accuracy and reasonable correlation with ground truth rankings, establishing our approach as a reliable metric.
