LLM Confidence Gap
Prediction Interval
AI Synthesis & Market Narrative
While traditional deep learning and statistical methods are widely applied for prediction across various domains, a critical limitation for LLMs has emerged: their inability to provide reliable confidence scores or prediction intervals. This gap impacts the trustworthiness and enterprise adoption of LLMs for high-stakes applications.
