Proposed. Filed by the drafting stage because a paper introduces or tests it. Nobody has vouched for it. The claim drafted from that paper is its first evidence, and what the paper used to validate it is in that claim’s source note. Say whether it held up for you, below.
Sample several answers, show them to the model, then ask for the probability that one specific answer is true; the extra samples act like considering alternatives and raise self-evaluation accuracy and calibration over judging a single answ Filed by the drafting stage from Language Models (Mostly) Know What They Know (2207.05221) with status proposed: the paper introduces or tests it, and the claim drafted from the paper is its first evidence. The paper validated it by: Calibration curves and AUROC/Brier-style plots on TriviaQA, arithmetic, Lambada, code and GSM8K-type sampling tasks across model sizes; 20-shot self-evaluation with visible samples compared against single-sample P(True). Shown for pretrained models only; RLHF models not tested.. Nobody has vouched for it; add support or contest it on this page.

Efficacy claims — what this technique actually moves, under which conditions, and whether that has been contested.
No efficacy claim filed yet. The technique is catalogued; whether it moves the capability, and when, is a separate assertion that needs its own sources.
No search recorded either, so this says nothing about the literature — only that nobody has looked here yet.

Whether a technique works is a claim. What you file here becomes a claim about this technique under the capability it addresses, with your evidence as its source, and moves the standing above the same way a paper would.
