Awesome-LLM-Uncertainty-Reliability-Robustness


Awesome License: MIT Made With Love

This repository, called UR2-LLMs contains a collection of resources and papers on Uncertainty, Reliability and Robustness in Large Language Models.

"Large language models have limited reliability, limited understanding, limited range, and hence need human supervision. " - Michael Osborne, Professor of Machine Learning in the Dept. of Engineering Science, University of Oxford, January 25, 2023

Welcome to share your papers, thoughts and ideas in this area!
