The Relatives Experience Questionnaire for Acute Inpatient Child and Adolescence Mental Health Services (REQ-AICAMHS): reliability and validity following a Norwegian survey

Introduction: Adolescents with mental health disorders represent a vulnerable group with complex care needs, yet their and their relatives experiences in acute inpatient mental health services remain poorly understood. While patient-reported experience measures (PREMs) are increasingly recognized as essential for improving healthcare quality, validated instruments for child and adolescent mental h...

Towards Generation-Efficient Uncertainty Estimation in Large Language Models

Uncertainty estimation is important for deploying LLMs in high-stakes applications such as healthcare and finance, where hallucinations can appear fluent and plausible while being factually incorrect, making it difficult for users to judge whether an output should be trusted. Existing methods require one or more full autoregressive generations to estimate uncertainty, which introduces substantial ...
