From Context-Aware to Conflict-Aware: Generalizing Contrastive Decoding for Knowledge Conflict in LLMs

In three linesarXiv paper generalizing contrastive decoding methods to handle conflicts between external context and parametric priors in LLMs. Proposes conflict-aware paradigm and Adaptive Regime Routing (ARR) that dynamically routes between regimes based on conflict signals, improving resistance EM from below 6% to 16–33% on TriState-Bench evaluation.
