Inference-Time Commitment Shaping: A Framework for Quiet Failure Mitigation in LLM Systems

Puntos clave

The aim is to develop a framework that regulates certainty and authority in outputs of large language models to reduce quiet failures.
Introduced Inference-Time Commitment Shaping (IFCS) framework
Illustrative validation of the framework
Focus on design correctness without statistical generalization
Proposed framework addresses overstated certainty and misleading responses
Illustrative examples show potential effectiveness in output regulation
Emphasizes the need for regulating commitment strength in language models

Resumen

This preprint introduces Inference-Time Commitment Shaping (IFCS), a conceptual and architectural framework for regulating commitment strength in large language model outputs. The work focuses on mitigating “quiet failures,” where admissible and coherent responses mislead through overstated certainty, scope, or authority. Validation is illustrative and intended to demonstrate design correctness rather than statistical generalization.
