Two new research papers propose methods to improve the calibration of large language models (LLMs). The first paper introduces a framework based on Item Response Theory (IRT) that uses anchor items to calibrate new benchmarks, allowing for comparable scores even when models are evaluated on different datasets over time. The second paper presents a bilevel optimization approach that modifies model parameters during training to maximize the entropy of predictive distributions, directly targeting overconfidence and improving out-of-domain generalization.
