Improved Confidence Estimates for Black-Box Large Language Models

Sokhna Diarra Mbacke, Mouloud Belbahri, Gabriel Loaiza-Ganem

Uncertainty quantification (UQ) is essential for the safe deployment of large language models (LLMs). Existing methods, from verbalized confidence to ones requiring multiple genera…

Conf-Gen: Conformal Uncertainty Quantification for Generative Models

Gabriel Loaiza-Ganem, Kevin Zhang, Wei Cui +2

Conformal prediction (CP) and its extension, conformal risk control (CRC), are established frameworks for quantifying uncertainty in supervised machine learning through formal guar…

On Convolutions, Intrinsic Dimension, and Diffusion Models

Kin Kwan Leung, Rasa Hosseinzadeh, Gabriel Loaiza-Ganem

The manifold hypothesis asserts that data of interest in high-dimensional ambient spaces, such as image data, lies on unknown low-dimensional submanifolds. Diffusion models (DMs) -…
