Peeking Inside LLMs: Leveraging Internal Artifacts of LLMs for Enhancing Reliability in Legal Classification
Researchers demonstrate that internal computational artifacts within Large Language Models can reliably detect when the model produces incorrect outputs in legal classification tasks. By analyzing these internal signals, downstream classifiers can identify hallucinated or erroneous predictions, potentially improving the reliability of LLM-based legal systems for high-stakes applications like bail decisions and statute violation predictions.
