Symbolic programs are transparent but limited to what their grammar can express. Earlier neural-symbolic hybrids needed custom languages, task-specific modules and large training sets. The authors introduce BINDER, a framework… 2. **[Confidence Estimation for LLMs in Multi-turn Interactions](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zhang-2026-confidence-estimation-llms-multi-turn/)** *(2026 · 7 citations)* Most work on LLM confidence estimation looks at single questions answered once. This paper studies a different case: multi-turn dialogue, where useful information arrives over several turns. The authors argue that a good confidence signal in this setting must do two things. It should be calibrated at each turn, and… ## All works 3 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 2 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1.
