Improving LLMs: Steering Towards Truth and Self-Evaluation

KordingLab · x · 2026-08-26

This post proposes two strategies for enhancing LLM output quality. First, in domains where 'truth' is definable (like math or coding), actively push the model towards that truth during training. Second, in open domains without clear truth definitions, use LLMs to perform 'self-evaluation' to check their own answers. These methods aim to move beyond simple probabilistic generation.
