Unifying Conformal Language Tasks with In-Context Ensembles

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

The paper introduces the Conformal Relevance framework, which employs in-context learning example curation and ensembling to generate a score function that preserves coverage while enhancing conciseness for NLP tasks such as summarization and extractive question answering. Unlike previous methods that rely on labor-intensive, task‑specific prompt engineering, this approach requires minimal manual input. The authors validate the framework across seven NLP tasks and provide a theoretical analysis of how diversity in ensembled conformal scores can improve worst‑case sentence scores, including a saturation bound on ensemble gains.

AdaFuse: Adaptive Ensemble Decoding with Test-Time Scaling for LLMs

AdaFuse is an adaptive ensemble decoding framework for large language models that dynamically selects fusion units during generation. It uses an uncertainty-based criterion to decide when to ensemble, applying a diversity-aware scaling strategy in uncertain states while continuing direct generation when confident. Experiments on question answering, arithmetic reasoning, and machine translation show AdaFuse outperforms strong baselines with an average relative improvement of 6.88%.
