Hair-Trigger Alignment: Black-Box Evaluation Cannot Guarantee Post-Update Alignment

Yavuz Bakman, Duygu Nur Yaldiz, Eleni Triantafillou +3

Large Language Models (LLMs) are rarely static and are frequently updated in practice. A growing body of alignment research has shown that models initially deemed ``aligned'' can e…

HARMONY: Hidden Activation Representations and Model Output-Aware Uncertainty Estimation for Vision-Language Models

Erum Mushtaq, Zalan Fabian, Yavuz Faruk Bakman +3

Uncertainty Estimation (UE) plays a central role in quantifying the reliability of model outputs and reducing unsafe generations via selective prediction. In this regard, most exis…

Reject Only Critical Tokens: Pivot-Aware Speculative Decoding

Amir Ziashahabi, Yavuz Faruk Bakman, Duygu Nur Yaldiz +3

Speculative Decoding (SD) ensures that the output matches the target model's distribution exactly. However, we argue that this distribution matching requirement is too stringent an…

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…

Uncertainty Quantification for Hallucination Detection in Large Language Models: Foundations, Methodology, and Future Directions

Sungmin Kang, Yavuz Faruk Bakman, Duygu Nur Yaldiz +2

The rapid advancement of large language models (LLMs) has transformed the landscape of natural language processing, enabling breakthroughs across a wide range of areas including qu…

TruthTorchLM: A Comprehensive Library for Predicting Truthfulness in LLM Outputs

Duygu Nur Yaldiz, Yavuz Faruk Bakman, Sungmin Kang +9

Generative Large Language Models (LLMs)inevitably produce untruthful responses. Accurately predicting the truthfulness of these outputs is critical, especially in high-stakes setti…
