SCATR: Simple Calibrated Test-Time Ranking
★★★★★
significance 3/5
The paper introduces SCATR, a lightweight method for ranking candidate responses during test-time scaling for LLMs. It uses a small calibration set and hidden representations to improve upon traditional confidence heuristics without the high cost of process reward models.
Why it matters
Efficient test-time scaling via calibration offers a low-latency alternative to heavy reward models for high-stakes reasoning tasks.
