Classification of Verification Approaches
When verifiers are used to score a model's reasoning, the evaluation can be categorized into two main approaches: outcome-based, which assesses the entire reasoning path, and process-based, which evaluates each individual step.

Guiding Role of the Verifier in Self-Refinement
A system is designed to solve complex, multi-step logic puzzles. First, a generative model produces five different potential step-by-step solutions to a given puzzle. Then, a second, distinct component is used. This second component's sole function is to evaluate each of the five proposed solutions by scoring the logical soundness of each step in the reasoning chain. Based on these scores, it selects the single most coherent and valid solution to present as the final answer. What is the primary role of this second component in the system's architecture?
Improving an AI Tutoring System
Consider a system that solves a problem by first having one component generate several different step-by-step solutions. For this system to be effective, the same component that generated the solutions must also be used to evaluate them and select the best one.

Comparison of Solution-Level and Step-Level Verification
A team is building a system to verify the solutions to multi-step mathematical problems generated by a language model. Their verifier works by taking a complete, final solution, plugging the final answer back into the original problem statement, and checking if it holds true. The verifier does not inspect the intermediate calculations, only the final result. Which classification best describes this verification approach?
