Chen, Ivo (author)Large language models (LMs) are increasingly used in critical tasks, making it important that these models can be trusted. The confidence an LM assigns to its prediction is often used to indicate how much trust can be placed in that prediction. However, a high confidence can be incorrectly trusted if it turns out to be incorrect, also known as a...master thesis 2024
