Uncertainty Analysis Report:

Risk Level: {uncertainty.risk_level()}


Detailed Breakdown:
• Answer Entropy: {uncertainty.entropy:.3f}
 → {'Low' if uncertainty.entropy < 0.5 else 'Medium' if uncertainty.entropy < 1.0 else 'High'} disagreement among generated responses


• Self-Consistency: {uncertainty.consistency_score:.3f}
 → {int(uncertainty.consistency_score * 100)}% of responses agree on the answer


• Epistemic Uncertainty: {uncertainty.epistemic_uncertainty:.3f}
 → {'Low' if uncertainty.epistemic_uncertainty < 0.3 else 'Medium' if uncertainty.epistemic_uncertainty < 0.6 else 'High'} model uncertainty (knowledge gaps)


• Aleatoric Uncertainty: {uncertainty.aleatoric_uncertainty:.3f}
 → {'Low' if uncertainty.aleatoric_uncertainty < 0.3 else 'Medium' if uncertainty.aleatoric_uncertainty < 0.6 else 'High'} data uncertainty (inherent randomness)

Key Takeaways:
1. Internal critics improve response quality through multi-dimensional evaluation
2. Uncertainty estimation enables risk-aware decision making
3. Self-consistency reasoning increases reliability
4. Different selection strategies optimize for different objectives
5. Verbalized uncertainty helps users understand model confidence


Next Steps:
• Implement with real LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.)
• Add learned critic models (fine-tuned classifiers)
• Explore ensemble methods and meta-learning
• Integrate with retrieval-augmented generation (RAG)
• Deploy in production with monitoring and feedback loops
