Best Table Format for LLM Prompts: Does Serialization Matter?
Data report on the best table format for LLM prompts: HTML, Markdown, CSV, JSON, LaTeX and images compared on header scope, row identity and token cost, with a 2026 TabVerse review and a preflight protocol.
Query Provenance: Which Source Rows Justify a Derived Value?
A 2026 worked test of query provenance: witness sets for a join, projection and SUM, where, why and how provenance, PROV-O mapping, and an acceptance protocol for derived values.
AI Agent Handoff Testing: Did the Evidence Reach the Agent?
A 2026 research report on AI agent handoff testing: source-span obligations, verified fault injection, recipient-visible evidence, paired scoring and independent recovery before accepting downstream claims.
Cross-Lingual Fact-Checking: Auditing Claims vs. Evidence
Stage-by-stage audit of cross-lingual fact checking in 2026: X-Fact, XFEVER and CONCRETE compared without pooling, matched retrieval budgets, Wilson intervals, translation drift and source independence.
Entity Resolution Blocking Recall: Audit for Hidden Matches
A 2026 acceptance test for entity resolution blocking recall: compare candidate pairs with adjudicated true pairs, compute pairs completeness and reduction ratio, stratify omissions, and rerun after source changes.
RAG citation provenance: did generated context become evidence?
A 2026 evaluation report on RAG citation provenance: distinguish HyDE hypotheses and generated prefixes from original evidence, build paired exposure tests, and validate retained source spans.
When is evidence sufficient for fact checking? Omission tests
A 2026 research protocol for deciding when evidence licenses a fact-checking verdict, using deletion and restoration tests, abstention metrics, source snapshots and reviewer-effort measures.
Data Provenance Privacy: A Recipient Disclosure Test
A 2026 guide to data provenance privacy: evaluate recipient permissions, redact citation metadata, count exposed graph paths, and decide when evidence is too limited to justify sharing a value.
RAG chunking sensitivity: can boundaries reverse answers?
A 2026 research report on RAG chunking sensitivity, with a paired boundary-phase protocol, complete-support annotations, fixed-token comparisons and evidence-based release criteria.
Privacy-Preserving Truth Discovery: A Utility Audit
A 2026 research audit of privacy-preserving truth discovery: protected units, local privacy budgets, source-weight reversals, secure aggregation, and a reproducible utility evaluation card.
RAG Query Rewriting: Does It Preserve the Question?
Evaluation protocol for RAG query rewriting in 2026: intent contracts, paired qualifier fixtures, constraint preservation vs regression, McNemar tests, and release, fallback or clarify rules.
Data Fusion Error Propagation Benchmark: Upstream Error Audit
Evaluation protocol and literature critique of data fusion error propagation in MaDI-Bench: 15 and 20 tested cells, the Products missing-record bound, and an oracle-substitution ledger for 2026.
Cached answer validity test: is a cached answer still valid?
A 2026 reuse-validity test for cached LLM answers: crossed request-by-evidence matrix, false-reuse metrics with clustered intervals, and a decision ledger, grounded in Redis, Azure and peer-reviewed sources.
Entity Resolution Bridge Records: A Cluster Acceptance Test
A 2026 practitioner test for entity resolution bridge records: four acceptance questions, a bridge-removal perturbation test, a sign-off worksheet, and false-merge sampling with Wilson intervals.
LLM conflicting sources: a counterfactual fusion test
A 2026 evidence review of LLM source conflict resolution, reconstructing tabular-fusion F1 results and specifying entity masking, source-dependence tests, abstention metrics and reproducible provenance.
Conformal RAG Guarantees: A Loss-and-Denominator Audit
A 2026 audit of conformal RAG guarantees: compare set coverage, bounded loss and selective error, inspect SAFER's finite budget, and reproduce a scoped binomial test with synthetic counterexamples.
Data Provenance Tracking: Whose Claim Is This Evidence?
A 2026 analysis of data provenance tracking across organizations: a six-check handoff test for W3C PROV bundles, a three-case table, and a completeness measure (4 of 8 claims, 50.0%).
How to resolve conflicting numerical claims: normalize first
A 2026 methods guide to reconciling numerical claims: unit and time alignment, CRH loss functions, versioned MaDI-Bench evidence, and a reproducible fixture showing ranking sensitivity.
Entity Resolution Human Review: Which Decisions Need It?
A 2026 guide to entity resolution human review: accept, review, or hold unresolved. Includes a decision card, fixed-capacity harm calculations, reviewer disagreement, and audit uncertainty.
AI Agent Memory Deletion Verification: Counterfactual Tests
A 2026 protocol for verifying AI agent memory deletion with never-exposed controls, multi-channel disclosure probes, behavioral residuals, retained utility and explicit evidence boundaries.
Source selection in data fusion: evaluating marginal evidence
A 2026 evaluation protocol for source selection in data fusion: compare held-out subsets, separate coverage from verified accuracy, test source dependence, and audit integration costs and provenance.
