What is recorded here?
Studies answer-conditioned P(True) and trains a separate P(IK) value head from sampled correctness labels to estimate answerability before selecting a particular answer.
Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.
Scientific scope
Source-reported calibration and partial cross-task generalization, not access to ground truth or guaranteed honesty. P(IK) finetunes the whole model plus head; out-of-distribution calibration remains weak. Stars mark correspondence, not equal contribution.
