This research introduces a novel approach to calibrate confidence scores in generative question-answering systems, making AI decisions more reliable and interpretable for critical applications.

• Moves beyond average-case calibration to provide more meaningful confidence scoring
• Develops specialized calibration techniques for security-critical contexts
• Enables more trustworthy AI deployments where incorrect decisions could have serious consequences
• Particularly valuable for security applications requiring reliable decision-making under uncertainty

For security professionals, this research offers a pathway to deploy AI systems with better safeguards against overconfident but incorrect answers, reducing risks in sensitive environments.
