A new research paper explores the statistical advantages of using multiple candidate responses in machine learning from demonstrations, particularly when the demonstrator is not optimal. The study finds that increasing the number of responses, denoted by pass@k, can significantly reduce the sample complexity of learning. Specifically, it can change the dependence on target accuracy from 1/ε² to 1/ε and improve the dependence on reward class size from log N to log N/log k under standard evaluation. These benefits can be separated under robust evaluation, where the fast 1/ε dependence remains while the 1/log k improvement may diminish. AI
