A new technique called constrained decoding aims to improve the reliability of large language models (LLMs) in classification tasks. This method addresses the issue where LLMs sometimes generate labels not present in the provided list, causing failures in downstream systems. By modifying the token generation process to mathematically exclude invalid tokens, constrained decoding offers a deterministic guarantee that the LLM will adhere to a predefined taxonomy. AI
