PremiseCheck Fact-Checks Peer Reviews at GPT-5.5-Level Accuracy for Half the Cost

A Lehigh/UBC/Vector Institute paper tackles fact-checking of human and AI peer reviews. The team releases ReviewFact, a benchmark labeling factual errors in review comments across NLP, ML and natural sciences, measuring accuracy alongside cost and latency. Frontier LLMs check well but must read the full paper; cheap decision models fail on comments mixing several implicit assertions. PremiseCheck combines both: an LLM rewrites each comment into explicit premises without reading the paper, and a decision model checks each premise. It matches GPT-5.5 accuracy at about half the cost, and a quarter of the cost with less than half the latency on NLP reviews.
