Abstract

Large language models can interpret natural lan- guage, yet robust decisions remain challenging. Jev-like models expose structured choices, but these interfaces do not directly provide numeri- cal values at a requested precision. We propose NUMERICJEV, a training-free numerical decod- ing algorithm that enables numerical output from any LLM with a Jev-like structured-choice in- terface. Surprisingly, on our arithmetic bench- mark, it outperforms direct selection from a can- didate list containing the correct answer by 2.93 percentage points (Figure 1). Our motivation comes from the observation that numerical range selection is itself a decision problem that Jev- like LLMs can address. NUMERICJEV recur- sively refines a range through a multiway deci- sion tree while retaining the original question in context, without parameter updates or hidden- state access. On a 100-value grid, a ten-way tree requires only two decision rounds. Range- normalized MAE is 1.84% versus 5.18% for di- rect choice. A separate three-date historical- index study yields 4.58% mean relative recall er- ror and 0% readout error when the value is sup- plied.
