In today’s widespread use of Large Language Models (LLMs), there have been significant achievements in various text domains such as generating summaries and translations. However, there is still room for development and improvement in evaluating the outputs of LLMs. In this paper, we propose an innovative scoring system that assesses the quality of summaries and translations using multiple metrics, we also enhance LLM’s performance in scoring tasks by assigning it different roles, effectively making it act as an expert. We test four roles in the study: a teacher, a proofreader, a travel writer, and an internet troll, comparing the advantages and disadvantages of each role in the scoring task. Our research results demonstrate that emphasizing LLM’s multilingual capabilities and strict standards as its identity can effectively boost its performance. Additionally, imbuing LLM with a more critical thinking ability enhances its performance in translation tasks compared to a milder LLM identity. In summary, we show that assigning different identities to LLM can influence its performance in scoring tasks. We believe that this research will contribute to the use of LLMs for scoring purposes.
