Google Research published a paper that studies how to make generative AI systems produce answers that do more than sound plausible. The researchers say that their ALDRIFT framework “opens exciting avenues” for moving beyond answers that merely have a high probability. The paper, titled “Sample-Efficient Optimization over Generative Priors via Coarse Learnability,” examines a problem […]
