Google Research proposes Agile Deliberation framework
What happened
On 5 November 2026, Google Research proposed the Agile Deliberation framework for building subjective visual classifiers. The framework splits the building process into two stages: concept definition and concept iteration. A vision-language model (VLM) actively picks out images with ambiguous semantic boundaries, asks users to clarify their own definitions, and feeds their feedback into an automatic prompt optimisation loop. The report does not mention evaluation results, scope of application or future plans for the framework.
