I would also review failure modes qualitatively, particularly for edge cases and strict output-format compliance, before documenting the launch recommendation. What would you do if an Automated Prompt Optimization workflow reaches a plateau? I would inspect the prompt variants, evaluation set composition, and metric-level errors to determine whether the limitation comes from the prompt, data, or task definition. I would then form targeted manual hypotheses, such as clarifying label boundaries, adding carefully selected few-shot examples, or decomposing ambiguous instructions. How do you design prompts for strict structured outputs? I define an explicit schema, unambiguous label definitions, formatting constraints, and decision rules for uncertain cases. I validate the output with adversarial and edge-case examples, then iterate using observed parsing failures and classification errors. How would you investigate persistent disagreement between human raters and an LLM autorater? I would segment disagreements by label, template, linguistic feature, and confidence pattern, then review examples to identify unclear instructions, inconsistent human judgments, or systematic model bias. Based on the findings, I would refine the rubric or prompt and verify the improvement on held-out gold data. How would your Japanese-language expertise improve an LLM evaluation workflow? I would assess whether prompt instructions and examples correctly capture Japanese semantics, ambiguity, politeness levels, context dependence, and domain-specific phrasing. I would use this analysis to create more representative test cases and reduce errors caused by literal or culturally incomplete interpretations. Next step ## Apply now.
