What Models Know, How Well They Know It: Knowledge-Weighted Fine-Tuning for Learning When to Say "I Don't Know"

The paper introduces Knowledge-Weighted Fine‑Tuning, a method that estimates an instance‑level knowledge score through multi‑sampled inference and uses it to scale the learning signal. This approach encourages large language models to explicitly say "I don't know" on out‑of‑scope queries while preserving accuracy on known questions. The authors also propose new evaluation metrics for uncertainty, demonstrating that better discrimination between known and unknown instances improves overall performance.

KnowledgeBerg: Evaluating Systematic Knowledge Coverage and Compositional Reasoning in Large Language Models

arXiv:2604. 17621v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Many real-world questions appear deceptively simple yet implicitly demand two capabilities: (i) systematic coverage of a bounded knowledge universe and (ii) compositional set-based reasoning over that universe, a phenomenon we term "the tip of the iceberg.
