RubriX: A Fast, Fine-Tunable Non-Autoregressive Rubric Judge
arXiv paper introducing RubriX, a rubric judge built from a LoRA-adapted encoder and a softmax over scaled cosine similarities rather than text generation. Reports 75.4% exact accuracy on held-out rubrics and roughly 28 ms cached judgments.

Highlights
- A LoRA-adapted encoder embeds the input and each level description; a softmax over scaled cosine similarities gives a probability per level.
- RubriX reaches 75.4% exact accuracy on held-out rubrics, against 57.1% for TypeSafe's Jev and 49.8% for a Qwen3-8B judge.
- Within 6 percentage points of Jev on most of eight human-labelled benchmark sets, with Jev holding a larger lead on two.
- With level embeddings cached, latency stays near 28 ms per judgment as level descriptions grow from 10 to 3,000 tokens.
- At 3,000 tokens per level RubriX is 7.7x faster than Jev and 18.8x faster than the Qwen3-8B judge.

RubriX reaches 75.4% exact accuracy on held-out rubrics. The paper reports 57.1% for TypeSafe's Jev and 49.8% for a Qwen3-8B judge on the same comparison.
On eight human-labelled benchmark sets RubriX is within 6 percentage points of Jev's accuracy on most of them. Jev keeps a larger lead on two sets and ranks responses best on average.
With level embeddings cached, latency stays at about 28 ms per judgment as level descriptions grow from 10 to 3,000 tokens. Jev rises from 44 ms to 211 ms and the Qwen3-8B judge from 32 ms to 516 ms in that range.
No. A LoRA-adapted encoder embeds the input and each level description, and a softmax over scaled cosine similarities gives a probability for every level, so no generative call is needed per judgment.
RubriX was trained on public rubric data and proprietary synthetic data. Because part of the training set is proprietary synthetic data, the full training mixture is not public.
Against the results reported in the G-Eval paper, RubriX outperforms G-Eval with GPT-3.5 on every SummEval dimension and on both QAGS subsets.
Jev keeps a larger accuracy lead on two of the eight human-labelled benchmark sets and ranks responses best on average, even though RubriX is faster once rubric level embeddings are cached and the level descriptions grow long.
