- Introduces learnable abstention policies that adapt to different tasks
- Tested on multiple benchmarks including visual question answering
Plain English Explanation
Large language models sometimes need to say "I don't know" instead of giving wrong answers. This research introduces a way for AI systems to decide when they should and shouldn'...
