@CsabaSzepesvari Sophy is deployed in Gran Turismo as of the latest DLC nature.com/articles/s4158… gran-turismo.com/us/products/gt…
@MarlosCMachado jair.org/index.php/jair… is pretty important. Maybe you’ve read it already
@SoloGen GPL does not ensure corporations cannot profit off your code. The issue is no one sells software these days. They sell access to services they run. At (some) big corps the only license that will scare them away is AGPL.
@TZahavy @leanprover Congrats Tom, @vivek_veeriah and team! Hope you’re all doing well.
@SoloGen @c_voelcker @ChongZitaZhang @AMD Honesty, you probably need a lot fewer than 100 SWE. The thing is it is incredibly risky to build a big piece of software and hope that others will adopt it. This is even the case if you know in advance what you’re building is better than the available alternatives.
The really cool part of REBEL is how it generalizes the classic Natural Policy Gradient algorithm (my favorite RL alg) while being as scalable as REINFORCE :) Some details:
In the words of Billy Idol, give a "rebel yell" for REBEL: a strikingly simple RL algorithm (it's just regression! no clipping / critics!) that scales to generative models (both LLMs and Diffusion Models!) and has deep theoretical interpretations: arxiv.org/abs/2404.16767. [1/8]
We are looking for brilliant and creative candidates with strong programming skills to join us at the Discovery team at @GoogleDeepMind 🧙 We build AI agents that discover new knowledge using RL, planning and LLMs. DM me if you have specific questions about working with us 🙏
@ancadianadragan @GoogleDeepMind Congrats Anca!
I’ve been a bit quiet for the past year! It's because I’ve been building 🤫 I'm excited to share that the Artificial.Agency team is coming out of stealth with a sneak peek. More to come. Keep your eyes peeled 👀
Artificial.Agency is building the behavior engine driving the future of interactive digital entertainment. We are co-creating the next level of gaming with our studio partners and you’re invited to be part of the journey. Join our pilot. artificial.agency
@TmlrOrg I do not appreciate getting an un-declinable review request immediately before Christmas
As our work in Game AI expands, so does our team. Sony AI is now hiring for a Reinforcement Learning Research Intern to join our global Game AI group. Join us in leveraging AI to develop new, enriching gaming experiences. ow.ly/e7BI50Q6aek

@adad8m @SecPerkinsStan Efficient Projection onto the L1-Ball for Learning in High Dimensions. Duchi et al 2008.
@SecPerkinsStan @adad8m No. I’m referring to finding max ||x - y||^2 s.t. sum x_i = 1, x >= 0. Using duality you can derived an algorithm for finding the exact solution that runs in O(log n)
