Counting Moves, Weighing Voices: Bayesian Dialectical Argumentation for Calibrated Multi-LLM Councils under Persistent Adversaries

Excerpt

arXiv:2610.02005v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A multi-LLM \emph{council} lets several large language models (LLMs) deliberate on a question and return an answer together with a confidence estimate. As these systems become increasingly used for reasoning, that confidence should represent a calibrated \emph{probability of being correct}, and the decision should remain robust when some agents are persistently unreliable. Existing \emph{council aggregation} methods fail on both fronts: their confi
