Researchers have developed StaR-TTA, a novel framework designed to improve confidence estimation in large language models after they undergo agentic reinforcement learning. This method addresses the degradation in confidence scores caused by shifts in reasoning trajectories post-RL. StaR-TTA leverages the observation that more stable trajectories tend to produce more correct answers, even after RL training. By learning from both correctness and stability signals on labeled base trajectories, StaR-TTA adapts confidence scores to unlabeled RL trajectories, achieving an average AUROC of 0.721 across four QA benchmarks.
