The paper presents the first large‑scale benchmark for uncertainty quantification (UQ) calibration in long‑form scientific question answering, evaluating four UQ methods on 685,000 responses from up to 20 large language models across seven datasets. It shows that instruction tuning leads to token‑level probability polarization, undermining token‑level uncertainty signals, while reasoning model families differ in how they handle this effect. Only semantic consistency—consistency of the final answer—provides well‑calibrated outputs, demonstrating that semantic calibration remains robust in multi‑step, dependency‑rich reasoning.

TeleTables is a benchmark that evaluates large language models on interpreting telecom tables from 3GPP specifications. It contains 2,220 tables in four formats and 500 human‑verified multiple‑choice questions that range from simple retrieval to multi‑step reasoning. Tests on 20 open‑weight LLMs show that closed‑book performance is limited by domain knowledge, while providing the table as context yields high accuracy that still drops with deeper reasoning, evidence scope, and structural complexity.

arXiv:2607. 27405v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Both expressions of uncertainty and inferences are ubiquitous in natural language, and valid inferences over natural-language expressions of uncertainty are necessary for not only everyday conversations but also for high-stakes domains such as medicine and law.

The paper introduces CodeRQ-Bench, the first benchmark for assessing large language model reasoning quality across coding tasks such as generation, summarization, and classification. It analyzes over a thousand mismatches from existing evaluators, identifies recurring limitations, and derives design insights that lead to a new two‑stage evaluator, VERA. Experiments show VERA outperforms strong baselines, improving AUCROC by up to 0.26 and AUPRC by up to 0.21 on four datasets.
