New AI method tackles ambiguous requests by enumerating interpretations

Researchers have developed a new method to address ambiguous requests made to large language models. Instead of committing to a single interpretation, the proposed system generates a structured response that enumerates all possible interpretations of the request, each paired with its corresponding answer. This approach, trained using reinforcement learning with a dual reward objective, aims to improve user experience and mitigate safety risks associated with incorrect interpretations. Experiments on conversational question answering and semantic parsing tasks demonstrate that this method provides higher coverage of valid answers and promotes transparency through explicit interpretations.

    Reasoning about Intent for Ambiguous Requests

    arXiv:2511.10453v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models often respond to ambiguous requests by implicitly committing to one interpretation, frustrating users and creating safety risks when that interpretation is wrong. We propose generating a single struct…
