Summarization and Mathe- matical Reasoning are Length-Dependent. Fig- ure 3 reports quality metric trends for XSum (sum- marization) and GSM8K (arithmetic question an- swering). In contrast to machine translation, these tasks show mild yet noticeable correlations be- tween quality scores and output length. Specif- ical...

debias raw uncertainty scores on the test set. To achieve this, for each test example, we compute a length-debiased uncertainty score by subtracting the length-predicted component from its raw score: udeb(y) =u(y)−ˆu(y). (2) This subtraction step is equivalent to computing the residuals from the fitted regression, a st...
