RL-ARC is a calibration‑aware training framework that jointly uses reasoning confidence and answer confidence to improve the calibration of large reasoning models. It applies reasoning‑guided regularization for correct predictions and an overconfidence penalty for incorrect ones. Experiments on in‑distribution and out‑of‑distribution data show that RL‑ARC enhances calibration while preserving reasoning performance.

The paper introduces Test-Time Calibration Learning (TTCL), a label‑free framework that adapts both reasoning accuracy and verbalized confidence of large language models directly on unlabeled target‑task data. TTCL generates self‑supervision signals from multiple model responses, enabling calibration without ground‑truth labels and proving theoretically as a bounded surrogate for the ideal calibration objective. Experiments on mathematical reasoning and factual question answering show consistent improvements, with base models gaining an average 40.13% in accuracy and 70.80% in ECE reduction across eight benchmarks, and further gains under domain shift.
