**TLDR:** A method that gradually reduces teacher forcing to bring training conditions closer to inference conditions.

<p>Scheduled sampling is a training strategy developed to mitigate exposure bias. Over time, the model is increasingly exposed to its own generated outputs rather than always seeing the correct previous output. This makes training better resemble real inference conditions. However, the speed of that transition and its effect on stability must be designed carefully.</p>
