RL with Confidence Margin: COLM 2026 paper makes step-by-step confidence track reasoning correctness
EliasEskin · x · 2026-09-30
A COLM 2026 paper thread introduces "RL with Confidence Margin". The authors note that prior work like TypeSafe's Jev (trained with RLCD) provides calibrated probabilities for fast, structured decisions, and go further: they focus on the reasoning trace itself, asking whether model confidence can track correctness step by step as the reasoning unfolds. Details are in the linked thread.
