UnverifiedLarge language models commonly suffer from overconfidence and require prompt engineering and calibration strategies to calibrate confidence levels.77% similarUnverifiedHaving an LLM provide a confidence score for its own answer has a fundamental flaw, because the model lacks an introspection mechanism to accurately judge whether it knows a certain fact.76% similarUnverifiedTreating LLMs as genuine intelligence leads to overestimating their reliability, mistakenly trusting their reasoning capabilities, and lacking vigilance regarding the hallucination problem.74% similarUnverifiedNeural network models tend to be overconfident, and their probability outputs do not faithfully reflect the credibility of predictions, exhibiting calibration problems.72% similarVerifiedCurrent mainstream large language models exhibit significant deficiencies in both confidence calibration and selective abstention, tend to be overconfident, and when faced with questions outside the training distribution, tend to produce fluent but incorrect answers.71% similar
