Shifting Attention to Relevance: Towards the Predictive Uncertainty Quantification of Free-Form Large Language Models [ACL 2024]

Authors: Jinhao Duan, Hao Cheng, Shiqi Wang, Chenan Wang, Alex Zavalny, Renjing Xu, Bhavya Kailkhura, Kaidi Xu

The proposed Shifting-Attention-to-Relevance (SAR) is implemented in this codebase.

Updates

[8/2024] 🎉🎉 Glad to know that SAR is ranked 1st among 28 LLM uncertainty quantification methods in LM-Polygraph. Please also check their implementation and paper.

Environments

Please config environment by

pip install -r requirements.txt

Data Preparing

cd src
sh parse_datasets.sh

It will automatically parse CoQA, Trivia QA, and SciQ datasets.
