DualStake Calibrates Deep Research Agent Confidence, Cutting Overconfidence

_reachsumit · x · 2026-09-02

The paper 'DualStake' addresses the severe overconfidence issue in Deep Research agents. It proposes a dual-path calibration method that jointly aligns 'Evidence Confidence' (elicited after retrieval) and 'Answer Confidence' (elicited after generation) with correctness. Experiments on Qwen models across 8 QA benchmarks show that DualStake consistently improves calibration without sacrificing accuracy. The code is open-sourced.
