This kind of training is costly and often unstable, and it must be rerun whenever the reward model changes. ARGS moves alignment out of training and into inference. At every generation step, the base model proposes its top-k candidate tokens.

Audio, when it appears at all, plays a supporting role. Many of these benchmarks also have a "text shortcut": a model can often pick the right answer from the question and options alone, without watching the video. The authors address both problems… ## All works 3 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 2 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1. **[Provable Guarantees for Understanding Out-of-Distribution Detection ↗](https://doi.org/10.1609/aaai.v36i7.20752) Proceedings of the AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence · no summary yet**Peyman Morteza, Yixuan Li*2022 · 54 citations* 2.
