MIT CSAIL researchers developed a “consensus game” to improve AI text understanding and generation by treating the process as a game where one part generates sentences and another part evaluates them. This method, called equilibrium ranking, significantly enhances AI performance across tasks like reading comprehension, math problem-solving, and dialogue.

MIT researchers’ “consensus game” is a game-theoretic approach for language model decoding. The equilibrium-ranking algorithm harmonizes generative and discriminative querying to enhance prediction accuracy across various tasks, outperforming larger models and demonstrating the potential of game theory in improving language model consistency and truthfulness.
When tested across many tasks, like reading comprehension, commonsense reasoning, math problem-solving, and dialogue, the team’s algorithm consistently improved how well these models performed. Using the ER algorithm with the LLaMA-7B model even outshone the results from much larger models.
