Large Language Models (LLMs) must judge textual qualities consistently for reliability. Inconsistency in evaluations leads to untrustworthy results. Universal Self-Consistency (USC) improves LLM consistency across diverse tasks. Integrating external knowledge increases reasoning accuracy. Seeded sampling aids determinism, enhancing reliability. Contrastive-consistent ranking (CCR) ensures logical consistency in model rankings. A retrieval-augmented generation system (RAG) paired with USC improves decision-making by combining structured reasoning with comprehensive knowledge bases.

Practical AI Solutions: Enhancing Text Evaluation with Consistency
Consistency is Key: For Large Language Models (LLMs) assessing text, consistent judgments are critical. Inconsistent evaluations from an LLM make it unreliable. We need LLMs to be dependable when scoring the quality of arguments or text.
The Problem with Inconsistency: Inconsistencies in LLM assessments mean we can’t compare different texts reliably. If an LLM can’t apply criteria consistently, its usefulness in evaluating text is lost.
Self-Consistency in LLMs
Why It Matters: LLMs often face challenges like contradictory outputs or unsupported facts. This affects tasks like open-ended generation and multi-step reasoning.
Improving Self-Consistency: Techniques like Universal Self-Consistency (USC) allow for more consistent selections without strict answer formats. This is crucial for open-ended tasks.
Augmenting Reasoning with External Knowledge
Knowledge Graphs: These provide up-to-date, factual details, enhancing LLM reasoning. They ensure models use the latest information and logical rules for better decision-making.
Enhancing Consistency with Seeded Sampling
Seeded Sampling: This technique helps produce more consistent outputs by using a seed parameter that ensures similar results for the same inputs, improving reliability.
Contrastive-Consistent Ranking (CCR)
CCR for Rankings: CCR is a new method that helps find consistent rankings without direct supervision, enhancing the predictability of model outputs.
Technical Architecture for Structured Reasoning
Combining Knowledge Sources: We use a multi-layered approach with Thread-of-Thought (ToT) prompting and knowledge graphs to provide structured reasoning and fast fact retrieval.
Impact on Your Business
Why It Matters for You: By combining USC and knowledge retrieval, we create a system that mimics human reasoning more closely. This enhances decision-making accuracy, speed, and the breadth of knowledge considered.
Stay Ahead with AI: To keep your company competitive, leverage AI for better self-consistency in language models. This can transform your work processes and customer interactions.
