When Implausible Tokens Get Reinforced: Tail-Aware Credit Calibration for LLM Reinforcement Learning

Xiuyi Lou, Zicheng Xu, Yu-Neng Chuang +4

Reinforcement learning (RL) has achieved remarkable success in enhancing the reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs). However, widely used critic-free RL methods rel…

Self-ensemble: Mitigating Confidence Mis-calibration for Large Language Models

Zicheng Xu, Guanchu Wang, Guangyao Zheng +4

Although Large Language Models (LLMs) perform well in general fields, they exhibit a confidence distortion problem on multi-choice question-answering (MCQA), particularly as the nu…
