Researchers have developed a new framework called Sem-ECE to better evaluate the calibration of large language models (LLMs) in open-ended question answering tasks. This method addresses limitations of existing evaluation techniques by sampling answers, grouping them into semantic classes, and using these frequencies to estimate confidence. The framework includes two estimators, Sem1-ECE and Sem2-ECE, which are theoretically unbiased and provide insights into question difficulty. AI
