The Silent Vote: Improving Zero-Shot LLM Reliability by Aggregating Semantic Neighborhoods
Researchers propose Semantic Softmax, a novel inference-time method that improves zero-shot LLM classification by recovering probability mass lost during constrained decoding. The approach aggregates scores from semantic synonyms, reducing calibration errors and boosting accuracy on emotion and toxicity detection tasks.
