The Origins of Stochasticity: Comprehensive Investigations on Uncertainty Quantification for Large Language Models

Recent advancements in Large Language Models (LLMs) have enabled sophisticated reasoning and content generation, yet their inherent stochasticity poses significant challenges for ensuring predictive credibility. While traditional uncertainty taxonomy paradigms, such as the dichotomy of aleatoric and epistemic uncertainties, provide conceptual foundations, they often fail to capture the multi-component and multi-stage nature of LLM generation and struggle to evaluate the effectiveness of various Uncertainty Quantification (UQ) methods.

RH-RAG: Trustworthy Long-Form Generation for Privacy-Constrained Settings

Generating long-form content from extensive internal reports remains challenging for organizations operating under strict privacy and security constraints, where proprietary cloud-based LLM APIs are often not viable. While locally deployed open-weight models offer a privacy-preserving alternative, existing retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) approaches on smaller models frequently lack effective global planning and accumulate factual inconsistencies over long outputs.

SeSE: Black-Box Uncertainty Quantification for Large Language Models Based on Structural Information Theory

arXiv:2511. 16275v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Reliable uncertainty quantification (UQ) is essential for deploying large language models (LLMs) in safety-critical scenarios, as it enables them to abstain from responding when uncertain, thereby avoiding hallucinations, i.

Embedding Trust: Semantic Isotropy Predicts Nonfactuality in Long-Form Text Generation

arXiv:2510. 21891v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: To deploy large language models (LLMs) in high-stakes application domains that require substantively accurate responses to open-ended prompts, we need reliable, computationally inexpensive methods that assess the trustworthiness of long-form responses generated by LLMs.

AtomEval: Validity-Aware Atomic Evaluation of Adversarial Claim Rewriting in Fact Verification

arXiv:2604. 07967v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) can rewrite refuted claims to evade evidence-based fact verifiers, but conventional attack success rate (ASR) can be inflated when rewrites change, weaken, or correct the false proposition they are supposed to preserve.
