Risk-controlled post-processing yields a threshold-structured policy that follows the baseline except where an oracle fallback sharply reduces conditional violation risk, achieving O(log n/n) expected excess risk in i.i.d. settings and exact risk control under exchangeability.
Geometric features from per-layer MLP update trajectories fed to a sparse linear probe outperform maximum softmax probability for uncertainty quantification under selective abstention, with gains up to 21 AURC points.
Conflicting biomedical evidence triggers order-dependent prediction flips in RAG LLMs, and a new abstention score combining confidence with conflict detection raises selective accuracy by 7-33 points in the hardest conditions.
A reference-free proxy scoring framework combined with GIRB calibration produces better-aligned evaluation metrics for summarization and outperforms baselines across seven datasets.
