EVINCE: Optimizing Adversarial LLM Dialogues via Conditional Statistics and Information Theory

Chang, Edward Y.

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

This paper introduces EVINCE (Entropy and Variation IN Conditional Exchanges), a dialogue framework advancing Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) by enhancing versatility, adaptivity, and reasoning in large language models (LLMs). Leveraging adversarial debate and a novel dual entropy theory, EVINCE improves prediction accuracy, robustness, and stability in LLMs by integrating statistical modeling, information theory, and machine learning to balance diverse perspective exploration with strong prior exploitation. The framework's effectiveness is demonstrated through consistent convergence of information-theoretic metrics, particularly improved mutual information, fostering productive LLM collaboration. We apply EVINCE to healthcare, showing improved disease diagnosis, and discuss its broader implications for decision-making across domains. This work provides theoretical foundations and empirical validation for EVINCE, paving the way for advancements in LLM collaboration and AGI development.


Uncovering Biases with Reflective Large Language Models

Biases inherent in human endeavors pose significant challenges for machine learning, particularly in supervised learning that relies on potentially biased "ground truth" data. This reliance, coupled with models' tendency to generalize based on statistical maximal likelihood, can propagate and amplify biases, exacerbating societal issues. To address this, our study proposes a reflective methodology utilizing multiple Large Language Models (LLMs) engaged in a dynamic dialogue to uncover diverse perspectives. By leveraging conditional statistics, information theory, and divergence metrics, this novel approach fosters context-dependent linguistic behaviors, promoting unbiased outputs. Furthermore, it enables measurable progress tracking and explainable remediation actions to address identified biases.


Ensuring Ground Truth Accuracy in Healthcare with the EVINCE framework

Misdiagnosis is a significant issue in healthcare, leading to harmful consequences for patients. The propagation of mislabeled data through machine learning models into clinical practice is unacceptable. This paper proposes EVINCE, a system designed to 1) improve diagnosis accuracy and 2) rectify misdiagnoses and minimize training data errors. EVINCE stands for Entropy Variation through Information Duality with Equal Competence, leveraging this novel theory to optimize the diagnostic process using multiple Large Language Models (LLMs) in a structured debate framework. Our empirical study verifies EVINCE to be effective in achieving its design goals.
