- Confidence over Time: Confidence Calibration with Temporal Logic for Large Language Model Reasoning (2026 · 2 citations)
Most confidence estimators for LLMs reduce a whole multi-step answer to one number, such as an average token probability. This hides how certainty changes during reasoning. It also makes scores depend on length and filler text, so a wrong answer with one brief confidence dip can still look reliable. - Thesis Proposal: When Does an Agent Know It Is Lost? Confidence Trajectory Analysis for Tool-Using LLMs (2026)
LLM agents that call external tools make long chains of dependent decisions. One early slip, such as an invented API argument, can quietly spoil every later step. Current uncertainty quantification (UQ) methods score steps independently and give every kind of action the same treatment. This thesis proposal sketches a…
