JANUS - Emphasis: leaderboard
Metric: Emphasis distortion, signed from -2 to 2: change in the attention balance (favorable minus adverse fact tokens over their sum), paired distortion: the aspect score of the goal-conditioned response minus that of the neutral response for the same JANUS scenario (six true facts, three favorable and three adverse to an institutional objective, shown in the same order in both conditions), averaged over scenarios; facts are matched to sentences and framing is labelled by a Qwen3-8B judge with thinking disabled; zero-shot at provider or checkpoint default decoding; lower is better. Source: arxiv.org. Saturation forecast: Around 2032. 12 models tracked.
