Large Discovery Models Couple Generative Priors with Bayesian Surrogates
August 15, 2026
Large Discovery Models (LDM) integrate generative models with Bayesian non-parametric reward surrogates to optimize expensive objectives in complex spaces like protein sequences. The architecture uses the generative model for proposal and refinement while the surrogate manages performance prediction and epistemic uncertainty.
