Answer Engineering: Local Trajectory Editing for Protocol-Constrained Decision Making in Large Language Models
Researchers present Answer Engineering, a runtime technique that improves large language model compliance with procedural protocols by editing reasoning trajectories during generation. Testing on clinical decision-making shows the method increased protocol adherence from 25-54% to 78-84% without retraining models, addressing a critical safety gap in high-stakes domains.
