Now that I have started using twitter somewhat regularly, let me take a minute to advertise the RL theory lecture notes I have been developing with Sasha Rakhlin: arxiv.org/abs/2312.16730
🗣️ “Next-token predictors can’t plan!” ⚔️ “False! Every distribution is expressible as product of next-token probabilities!” 🗣️
In work w/ @GregorBachmann1 , we carefully flesh out this emerging, fragmented debate & articulate a key new failure. 🔴 arxiv.org/abs/2403.06963
Open Problems and Fundamental Limitations of Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback
paper page: huggingface.co/papers/2307.15…
Reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) is a technique for training AI systems to align with human goals. RLHF has emerged as the central method…
I'm rarely as excited about a paper as our #ICML2023 paper: we develop an algorithm for doing inverse reinforcement w/o an expensive RL inner loop, providing an *exponential* speedup. Works *extremely* well in practice. Joint work w/ @sanjibac, @zstevenwu, and Drew Bagnell. [1/n]
I am delighted to say that I will be joining the Colorado School of Mines @CSatMines 💻🤖 as an Assistant Professor 👨🏫 this January!
