Token-level entropy can serve as a cheap proxy metric for model confidence, calculable directly from the logits already present during inference without requiring additional annotation or training a scoring network.

UnverifiedThe value proposition of entropy methods in SLMs is not computational savings, but intelligent allocation of computing resources.72% similarUnverifiedSemantic entropy successfully recovers a usable confidence signal, filling the blind spot of token-level entropy on SLMs.72% similarUnverifiedThe semantic entropy method does not rely on the internal structure of a specific model; it infers uncertainty through semantic consistency at the output level, giving it relatively strong generalization ability.70% similarVerifiedThe semantic entropy method is technically implemented by obtaining candidate answers through multiple samplings, using an NLI model to determine semantic equivalence for clustering, and then computing entropy over the semantic categories.70% similarUnverifiedThe goal of the cheap classifier is not to replace mmBERT, but to identify cases where running the full model would not change the answer.62% similar
