Safely overseeing AI is increasingly challenging for the humans doing it, as they must evaluate longer and more complex outputs with every new model generation. To mitigate this challenge, we could leverage complementarity: where humans and models make different mistakes, combining their judgements could yield an oversight signal stronger than either produces alone. We study this opportunity in realistic, safety-relevant settings, contributing the largest known suite of such tasks (3,957 instances across 8 datasets and 6 domains) as well as a platform and data pipeline for measuring human, AI, and human-AI performance on matched items. We collected 35,613 judgements from 416 human raters, finding a considerable opportunity for a complementarity effect. We also found that with the assistance methods we tested, human raters corrected the AI's errors less often, even when overall human accuracy rose, and the hybridisation methods we tested added little over the better single source on average. While complementarity is an important and feasible engineering target for safe oversight, achieving it remains an open challenge for future work.

GAOKAO-Bench is introduced, an intuitive benchmark that employs questions from the Chinese GAOKAO examination as test samples, including both subjective and objective questions that contribute a robust evaluation benchmark for future large language models and offers valuable insights into the advantages and limitations...

An algorithm is proposed which leverages disentangled semantic factors to generate adversarial perturbation by altering controlled semantic attributes to fool the learner towards various "adversarial" targets.

This work proposes a HALO that directly maximizes the utility of generations instead of maximizing the log-likelihood of preferences, and suggests that the best loss depends on the inductive biases most appropriate for a given setting, an oft-overlooked consideration.
This work investigates the possibilities of using LLMs in a resume screening setting via a document retrieval framework that simulates job candidate selection and finds that the MTEs are biased, significantly favoring White-associated names in 85% of cases and female-associated names in only 11.1% of cases.
This work shows that orders of magnitude enhancement in performance could be obtained by a combination of hardware improvements and tight quantum-HPC integration and introduces high-performance architectures for quantum-probabilistic computing with custom-designed accelerators to tackle today's industry-scale classical...
