Asymmetry of verification and verifier's law

Asymmetry of verification is the idea that some tasks are much easier to verify than to solve. With reinforcement learning (RL) that finally works in a general sense, asymmetry of verification is becoming one of the most important ideas in AI.  Understanding asymmetry of verification th

With reinforcement learning (RL) that finally works in a general sense, asymmetry of verification is becoming one of the most important ideas in AI. Sudoku and crossword puzzles take a lot of time to solve because you have to try many candidates against various constraints, but it is trivial to check if any given solution is correct. In short, AlphaEvolve can be seen as a very clever instantiation of guess-and-check that allows for ruthless optimization of an objective, which has resulted in several mathematical and operational innovations.
