Abstract
A large language model (LLM) may be used to classify an input into one of a plurality of categories. However, given the machine-learning operation of the LLM, the output of the LLM does not represent a definitive statement, but is based on probability computations of the machine learning model. Therefore, the classification performed by the LLM might not be correct. Classification into the wrong category by the LLM results in downstream technical problems. In some implementations, when an LLM generates a response that classifies an input, one or more probability values associated with a token that forms the basis of the response may be used to determine a confidence value. The confidence value is indicative of confidence in the classification performed by the LLM. An action may be taken based on the confidence value.
