…core convention RenyiNeg and FisherRao compute a divergence/distance to the uniform token distribution. The raw quantity increases when token distributions are sharper, so it behaves as a certainty score. Most LM-Polygraph uncertainty estimators use the opposite convention, where higher scores indicate higher uncertainty. Negate the returned scores and clarify the convention in the estimator docstrings. BREAKING CHANGE: RenyiNeg and FisherRao scores change sign. Existing results using these estimators should be reinterpreted accordingly or recomputed.
