Lessons from the Field: An Adaptable Lifecycle Approach to Applied Dialogue Summarization
Kushal Chawla, Chenyang Zhu, Pengshan Cai +9
Summarization of multi-party dialogues is a critical capability in industry, enhancing knowledge transfer and operational effectiveness across many domains. However, automatically…
Uncertainty as Feature Gaps: Epistemic Uncertainty Quantification of LLMs in Contextual Question-Answering
Yavuz Bakman, Sungmin Kang, Zhiqi Huang +8
Uncertainty Quantification (UQ) research has primarily focused on closed-book factual question answering (QA), while contextual QA remains unexplored, despite its importance in rea…
Confidence-Based Response Abstinence: Improving LLM Trustworthiness via Activation-Based Uncertainty Estimation
Zhiqi Huang, Vivek Datla, Chenyang Zhu +4
We propose a method for confidence estimation in retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems that aligns closely with the correctness of large language model (LLM) outputs. Confid…
Improving Consistency in Retrieval-Augmented Systems with Group Similarity Rewards
Faisal Hamman, Chenyang Zhu, Anoop Kumar +4
RAG systems are increasingly deployed in high-stakes domains where users expect outputs to be consistent across semantically equivalent queries. However, existing systems often exh…
RAFFLES: Reasoning-based Attribution of Faults for LLM Systems
Chenyang Zhu, Spencer Hong, Jingyu Wu +6
The advent of complex, interconnected long-horizon LLM systems has made it incredibly tricky to identify where and when these systems break down. Evaluation capabilities that curre…
Refusal Tokens: A Simple Way to Calibrate Refusals in Large Language Models
Neel Jain, Aditya Shrivastava, Chenyang Zhu +6
A key component of building safe and reliable language models is enabling the models to appropriately refuse to follow certain instructions or answer certain questions. We may want…
