Excited to share our work, "Skill Set Optimization", a continual learning method for LLM actors that: - Automatically extracts modular subgoals to use as skills - Reinforces skills using environment reward - Facilitates skill retrieval based on state https://t.co/vaSYjVzlB2 ๐Ÿงต

it's like how politicians โ€œapologize if anyone misunderstood what I meantโ€; ChatGPT is a little weasel

I absolutely love how ChatGPT never actually admits any of its mistakes, instead โ€œapologizing for the confusionโ€. It's like: โ€œlook, one of us seems very confused, but let's not get hung up on who. here's the plan: I won't deny partial responsibility, and you still tip me, k?โ€

Policy Space Response Oracles (PSRO) mixes over a population of deep RL policies to approximate a Nash equilibrium, but exploitability can increase from one iteration to the next. We introduce Anytime PSRO which does not increase exploitability. Arxiv: https://t.co/yC88UhDcMH

This. Our top conferences are "captive regulators" of noteworthy research, and Big ML has subtly shifted their focus to experiments that have low scientific value, high environmental footprint, and โ€” significantly โ€” only they can run. #demeritNeurIPS

Interested in hearing about the theoretical foundations of RL from a multidisciplinary perspective (CS, control, stats, OR)? If so, join us at the (all virtual) RL Theory Bootcamp at the Simons Institute next week. Lectures in the morning and the afternoon ==>
