ECE: Selective fact-checking for LLMs, abstention as a safety shield

The Evidence Chain Evaluation (ECE) framework lets LLMs abstain from judgment when evidence is weak, avoiding forced verdicts. On ECE-Bench, it achieves 97.8% selective accuracy on answered claims while deferring 6 out of 95 cases, mostly from low-re...
