PAL-Bench (PAL-TRACE) - Evidence Support: leaderboard

PAL-Bench (Yan et al., 2026) asks a system to reconstruct a person's profile from a synthetic longitudinal photo album seen only through perception outputs (captions, OCR, entities, face clusters, timestamps and coarse metadata), over 50 users and 2,799 hidden targets. Runs use the authors' PAL-TRACE framework with the listed LLM as backbone and a fixed Qwen3.6-35B-A3B judge; this board is evidence support, the judge's 0, 0.5 or 1 rating of how well the cited photos support each matched claim, averaged from 0 to 1, higher is better.

Metric: Evidence support (0-1; mean 0, 0.5 or 1 support score of the cited public photos for each matched claim; PAL-TRACE framework with the listed LLM as reconstruction backbone; 50 synthetic users, macro-averaged over users; Qwen3.6-35B-A3B semantic judge).
