1: Can you explain how generalization of NNs relates to ELK? I can see that it can help with ELK (if you know a reporter generalizes, you can train it on labeled situations and apply it more broadly) or make ELK unnecessary (if weak to strong generalization perfectly works and we never need to understand complex scenarios). But I’m not sure if that’s what you mean.
2: How is goodhart robustness relevant? Most models today don’t seem to use reward functions in deployment, and in training the researchers can control how hard they optimize these functions, so I don’t understand why they necessarily need to be robust under strong optimization.
Thanks for the list! I have two questions:
