Inter Report Consistency

Inter-report consistency focuses on ensuring that multiple outputs from a model, particularly large language models (LLMs) and other AI systems, remain consistent even when presented with semantically equivalent inputs or tasks. Current research emphasizes mitigating inconsistencies arising from diverse sources, such as variations in data representation (e.g., discrete audio tokens), inherent stochasticity in model sampling, and differences in model perspectives or reasoning paths. This research is crucial for improving the reliability and trustworthiness of AI systems across various applications, from speech generation and code completion to medical image analysis and more general reasoning tasks, where inconsistent outputs can severely impact user confidence and practical utility.
