A Multidimensional LLM Evaluation Pipeline for Automatic Responses to Restaurant Reviews in Brazilian Portuguese
Resumo
Este trabalho avalia GPT-5.5, Gemini 3.1 e Llama 4 na geração automática de respostas a avaliações de restaurantes em português brasileiro, tarefa que exige empatia, adequação de tom, fluência e consistência de marca. Um experimento fatorial (3× 2× 2× 2 = 2.400 respostas) combina 15 avaliadores humanos (Likert 1–5; concordância robusta nas dimensões pragmáticas, Fleiss’ κ ∈ [0,76; 0,81], e moderada em fluência, κ = 0,48) com quatro métricas automáticas. Nenhum modelo é universalmente superior: Llama 4 lidera em empatia, Gemini 3.1 em adequação de tom e consistência de marca, e GPT-5.5 em fluência. Não há evidência de superioridade consistente da estratégia zero-shot sobre a few-shot nas dimensões pragmáticas (p = 0,47 em empatia). Mais relevante, há discordância de ranking entre as métricas automáticas e o julgamento humano nas dimensões pragmáticas. Em adequação de tom, o modelo mais bem avaliado pelos humanos é o pior pelo proxy automático, o que desaconselha seu uso isolado em tarefas com nuances pragmáticas.
