This suggests they cannot outperform the humans who produced that data. The authors examine this assumption and define "transcendence" as a generative model earning higher reward than every expert behind its training set. ## Co-authors here 10 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Abulhair Saparov](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/abulhair-saparov/) - [Daniel Paleka](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/daniel-paleka/) - [Ekdeep Singh Lubana](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/ekdeep-singh-lubana/) - [Eran Malach](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/eran-malach/) - [Miles Turpin](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/miles-turpin/) - [Naomi Saphra](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/naomi-saphra/) - [Peter Hase](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/peter-hase/) - [Sham M.
