Noisy-Channel Minimum Bayes Risk Decoding

arXiv:2607. 05198v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Minimum Bayes Risk (MBR) decoding yields more robust and higher-quality text generation than maximum a posteriori (MAP) decoding by selecting hypotheses that maximize expected utility over sampled pseudo-references.
