LLM selective classification improved with pairwise queries

Researchers have developed a new method for selective classification in binary tasks, particularly relevant for large language models (LLMs) performing in-context learning. The technique involves using additional pairwise queries to the same model to identify high-error samples, thereby reducing prediction errors on non-rejected data points. This approach aims to improve the accuracy-cost tradeoff compared to relying solely on raw confidence estimates, as demonstrated through experiments on synthetic and real-world datasets. AI

IMPACT Enhances the reliability of LLMs in classification tasks by improving confidence estimation and reducing errors on uncertain predictions.
