Teaching AI to Check Its Work: Better Answers for Grade-School Math
Big language programs can handle lots of tasks, but they still struggles with step-by-step math.
We made a new set of puzzles called GSM8K, 8.
5K grade-school word problems that look simple but trip up machines.
Instead of trusting a single guess, researchers train a separate checker — a verifier — to judge each solution.
At test time the model writes many answers, then the verifier picks the one it thinks is best, selecting from many answers to find the most correct.
That extra check makes the system catch mistakes it would have missed before, giving much better results on these problems.
The trick is easy to explain, and it seems to grow stronger with more data, not only from tweaking the original model.
This could help create math tools people actually use, ones that are careful and reliable.
It’s simple idea, showing that teaching machines to check their own work can change how well they solve everyday math.
