The proposed CERET method refines text generations by incorporating semantic stability, entailment, and inter-sample uncertainty measures. This approach outperforms existing self-improvement methods, such as Self-consistency and Self-rerank, in tasks like abstractive summarization and question answering, with significant improvements in Rouge-1 (1.6%) and hit rate (3.5%). The CERET method requires 9.4% of the latency compared to LLM Self-rerank, making it a more cost-effective solution.

CERET is a new way to make text generation better. It does this by thinking about how stable the generated text is, and whether it makes sense with what came before. This helps it generate higher-quality text that’s closer to what humans would write. In tests, CERET did much better than other methods at things like summarizing texts and answering questions. Plus, it was faster and used less computing power.
