Beyond Semantic Equivalence: Logical Graphs for LLM Uncertainty Quantification

Yanni Dong, Minghua Liu, Meiling Zhu, Xiaowei Huang, Lijun Zhang

Large Language Models (LLMs) often produce confidently stated yet unreliable outputs, posing critical challenges for deployment in safety-sensitive applications. Existing uncertainty metrics such as semantic entropy capture agreement at the level of semantic equivalence, but largely ignore the logical relationships between distinct answers. As a result, they tend to overestimate uncertainty and falsely flag hallucinations in settings where generated responses are diverse in form yet logically compatible (e.g., differing only in granularity or specificity). We propose Logical Graph Uncertainty (LGU), a framework that explicitly models implication and incompatibility among answers. LGU aggregates probability mass along entailment chains, computes entropy over logically maximal hypotheses, and penalizes mutual incompatibility among them. Across multiple question-answering benchmarks, LGU consistently improves uncertainty estimation over existing methods, and outperforms the semantic entropy baseline by up to +7.1% AUROC and +3.5% AUARC across datasets.

Multiplicity of Stable Attractors in Disordered Neural Models

Raffaele Marino, Roberto Livi, Antonio Politi

We show how large-deviation statistics allows one to obtain reliable estimates of the multiplicity of stable fixed-points in a model of neural ordinary differential equations previously employed in computational tasks. The result is obtained by developing a suitable perturbative…
