Multi-Dimensional Uncertainty in LLMs

Multi-Dimensional Uncertainty in LLMs

Beyond Semantic Similarity for More Reliable AI Systems

This research proposes a novel approach to uncertainty quantification (UQ) in large language models by examining multiple knowledge dimensions within responses.

  • Introduces a multi-dimensional framework for assessing LLM response reliability
  • Evaluates uncertainty across factual accuracy, logical coherence, and content relevance dimensions
  • Provides more comprehensive reliability metrics than traditional semantic similarity methods
  • Demonstrates improved uncertainty detection in high-stakes domains like healthcare

For medical applications, this approach significantly enhances safety by identifying when LLMs may provide unreliable information for clinical decision-making, reducing potential harm from AI-assisted healthcare systems.
