Learning When to Sample: Confidence-Aware Selective Sampling for Efficient Chain-of-Thought Reasoning
Juming Xiong, Kevin Guo, Congning Ni +7
Large language models (LLMs) can achieve strong reasoning performance through chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning, yet they often generate unnecessarily long reasoning paths that incu…
CoRA: Confidence-Rationale Alignment for Reliable Chain-of-Thought Reasoning
Juming Xiong, Weixin Liu, Kevin Guo +9
Chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning can improve LLM performance, but high answer confidence may be misleading when the accompanying CoT rationale is plausible yet incomplete or poorly…
It's Not Always Sycophancy: Measuring LLM Conformity as a Function of Epistemic Uncertainty
Kevin H. Guo, Chao Yan, Avinash Baidya +5
Large language models (LLMs) are known to abandon their initial stance to conform to user pushback. While prior research largely attributes this behavior to sycophancy learned duri…
Stop Listening to Me! How Multi-turn Conversations Can Degrade LLM Reliability
Kevin H. Guo, Chao Yan, Avinash Baidya +5
Large language models (LLMs) excel on static benchmarks, but their performance across multi-turn conversations, which better reflect real-world usage, remains understudied. Address…
CLEAR: Revealing How Noise and Ambiguity Degrade Reliability in LLMs for Medicine
Kevin H. Guo, Chao Yan, Avinash Baidya +5
Medical large language model (LLM) evaluations rely on simplified, exam-style benchmarks that rarely reflect the ambiguity of real-world medical inquiries. We introduce the CLinica…
NL2Repo-Bench: Towards Long-Horizon Repository Generation Evaluation of Coding Agents
Jingzhe Ding, Shengda Long, Changxin Pu +46
Recent advances in coding agents suggest rapid progress toward autonomous software development, yet existing benchmarks fail to rigorously evaluate the long-horizon capabilities re…
