Abstract:Jev offers an alternative interface for language understanding: given an input and predefined questions, it returns probabilistic decisions rather than free-form responses. Whether this interface can support effective reasoning for text classification against leading LLMs remains an open questions. We introduce Emo-Jev, a training-free framework with two complementary implementations. Emo-Jev-D decomposes classification into task-specific atomic judgments and composes their probabilities into a final prediction. Emo-Jev-SC constructs multiple judgment paths from complementary perspectives and aggregates their predictions into a consensus decision. We evaluate Emo-Jev on eight datasets spanning sentiment analysis, emotion recognition, sarcasm detection and humor detection, comparing against direct Jev classification and five SoTA LLMs under input/output and chain-of-thought reasoning. Standard Jev achieves 62.93\% average macro-F1 versus 67.28\% for the strongest LLM baseline, with lower observed latency and generally lower cost.
