🎉Thrilled to share that RLMF is headed to #COLM2026! In this work we introduce 𝗥𝗟 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗼𝗴𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 (𝗥𝗟𝗠𝗙) & metacognitive data selection. It outperforms standard RL while improving metacognitive monitoring in LLMs 🧠✨ Details below!👇
🔥 New paper alert!! Reinforcement Learning with Metacognitive Feedback Elicits Faithful Uncertainty Expression in LLMs 🔥 Can a model that learns to 𝘫𝘶𝘥𝘨𝘦 𝘪𝘵𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧 get even better at tasks—and learn to be honest about what it doesn't know? Turns out: yes🤯 Details🧵👇

🎈🎉 Delighted to announce that our paper has been accepted to #EMNLP2026 Main! This work studies the consistency & stability with which LLMs use linguistic markers (e.g., "probably", "likely") to convey their internal confidence. Check the original 🧵 for more details!👇
🔥 Excited to share my new preprint: Can LLMs Use Linguistic Uncertainty Markers to Reliably Reflect Intrinsic Confidence? 🔥 When an LLM says "I think" or "probably," does it actually mean something consistent internally? The answer: not really 😬 Check out details in 🧵(1/n):

Metacognition is increasingly seen as a cornerstone of capable, trustworthy AI. Yet how to define, measure, or improve it in LLMs remains unclear. Our paper presents the first comprehensive overview of this emerging field!👇 📄 arxiv.org/pdf/2607.11881 🔗 github.com/yale-nlp/LLM-Meta…

Given a request, AI systems generate long-form reports. Report evaluation relies on nuggets: essential & granular facts. Prior work on nugget generation treats them as short statements. Our #ICTIR2026 oral proposes DoGMaTiQ, an automated pipeline for Q&A nuggets. 1/6🧵

Come to the AI4GOOD Workshop @ #ICML 2026 to learn more about how reasoning affects the faithfulness of models' verbalized uncertainty & what we can do about it! 📍Grand Ballroom 103 🗓️Fri, July 10 | 11:25-13:00 & 16:20-17:00 🔗arxiv.org/pdf/2606.03969
Also glad to share this was accepted as a ✨spotlight✨to the Trustworthy AI4GOOD Workshop @ #ICML 2026!

🔥 New paper alert!! Time to REFLECT: Can We Trust LLM Judges for Evidence-based Research Agents? 🔥 We increasingly trust LLM judges to supervise deep research agents. But can we trust the judges themselves? Turns out: even frontier models score below 50% 😯 Details 🧵👇
