• Generative Artificial Intelligence is emerging as an important technology, promising to be transformative in many areas. At the same time, generative AI techniques are based on sampling from probabilistic models, and by default, they come with no guarantees about correctness, safety, fairness, or other properties. Statistical methods offer a promising potential approach to improve the reliability of generative AI techniques. In addition, statistical methods are also promising for improving the quality and efficiency of AI evaluation, as well as for designing interventions and experiments in AI. In this paper, we review some of the existing work on these topics, explaining both the general statistical techniques used, as well as their applications to generative AI. We also discuss limitations and potential future directions.

The abstract, and the depositor's additional notes after it as a second LangString when the source has a field for them.

• cs.AI
• cs.LG
• stat.ME

• v2

• revised

Draft, final, revised or unavailable, and only when the source says so. A first version is not thereby final.

• Edgar Dobriban — author

Role, entity and date per declared contribution. A role outside LOM's vocabulary is reported in the entry's description instead.

• URI: tag:aim-pro.eu,2026:oer/da6c4cab0f49/record

The identifier of this metadata record — the resource's own, with /record after it, because the record is a description of the resource and not the resource.

• AIM-PRO WP3 OER harvester (arXiv) — creator

Who generated this record and when — a statement about the record, not about the resource.

• LOMv1.0
• aimpro-oer-profile/1

LOMv1.0, and the profile this was built against.

• en

• text/markdown

One value per form held: the original as the source published it, and the Markdown this engine extracted.

• 92521

Bytes. The original's, because the resource is the file and not our conversion of it.

• https://arxiv.org/abs/2509.07054

Where the source serves it.

• narrative text

Only from a declaration that maps onto LOM's vocabulary. A file format is not a declaration.

• no — free to use

No: the licence gate refuses anything it cannot establish open reuse terms for, before the bytes are requested.

• yes — attribution required (CC-BY-4.0)

Yes unless the licence reserves nothing — attribution is a restriction. The conditions after the dash are the licence gate's reading; the export carries LOM's bare term.

• CC-BY-4.0 · http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/. Conditions: adaptation permitted, attribution required.

The SPDX id, the licence URI and the conditions. LOM has no element for any of the three, so this is where they survive.
