Measuring Mechanistic Uncertainty in Large Language Models via Causal Robustness
arXiv:2610.22636v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used in critical domains, where their susceptibility to hallucinations makes reliable and interpretable uncertainty quantification essential. We introduce the concept of mechanistic uncertainty, which chara
