Unrelated Questions — Follow-up Elicitation Questions

The fixed set of yes/no follow-up ("elicitation") questions used by the Unrelated Questions lie detector, reproduced from How to Catch an AI Liar: Lie Detection in Black-Box LLMs by Asking Unrelated Questions (Pacchiardi et al., ICLR 2024).

After a model produces a response, each question is appended as a new user message and the model's yes/no logprobs are recorded. The per-question logsumexp(yes_logprobs) - logsumexp(no_logprobs) values form the feature vector fed to the trained probe.
