Conventional Paradigm Test (CPT) – AI Evaluation & LLM Research

Development of an experimental evaluation approach to examine “paradigmatic closure” in Large Language Models — that is, the question of how far LLMs can recognize the basic assumptions, values, and limits of the paradigms within which they generate answers.

Design and testing of an additional approach to classic AI benchmarks that does not primarily measure factual correctness or task performance, but instead examines a model’s ability to recognize alternative perspectives, make implicit assumptions visible, and reflect on the limits of its own answer or interpretation framework.

Focus areas: development of evaluation criteria and test questions · LLM evaluation and comparative model analysis · prompt and response analysis · qualitative classification of model answers · study of epistemic compression and value leakage · benchmark and literature research · development of structured assessment and analysis methods

As part of CPT, existing AI evaluation approaches and benchmarks were analyzed, and a minimalist test protocol was developed that classifies model answers by response patterns such as DIRECT, CLARIFY, PLURALIST, REFUSE, and META-AWARE. TruthfulQA was used as the basis for experimental application and comparison with existing reference answers.
