Such a great lecture!

Great talk. Easily to follow along with the visuals and real world demos. Sparked a lot of ideas in my head!

15:56 RL with llm

This is big!

nice work

Interesting! How did you handle different frame sampling rates among those heterogenous datasets?

this seems promising

Thanks for sharing this video, personally I think this video could be better if the instructor tried to speak slower. Despite of understanding the sentences I think there should be some thinking time between each sentence for audience to understand the concept. By the way it was really helpful.

Interesting work

Amazing lecture! Thank you!

Why it switch to goal-directed at 1:54? Paper does not mention the condition for switching?

at 2:40, it should be the expectation where a_t, o_t ~ p_data, right?

Thanks. From AI/ML startup founder

A very nice overview. What is a good place to learn it from code examples?

Fascinating !

Is the equation for CAL-QL the same for the paper and this video or did it change

Great talk!

Great lecture.

I have a question about mixture gaussian. It outputs n gassian distributions or add them together with weights? Although I don't think adding with weights will work. And when talking about multimodal, does it mean we can have different ways to get the solution? like the example with tree. Then how come adding degree of freedom will relate to multimodal or different ways to do something

Extremely interesting, the part about being less aggressive when prediction is harder kind of reninds me of some speculative thoughts I had about artificial neurotransmitters aping the locus coruleus norepinephrine system to control error rates of subcircuits to speed up learning, that idea is still underdeveloped though and I was thinking more about optimizing the joint relationships of different routes into a neuron which would have atrocious scaling done naively.

So happy to find this open source here!!!

Wow... that was really a TOP video

What happen at NoMad 2:45 ? It seems it generates a batch of noisy trajectories?

Sergey Levine is a gem for this world!

nice intro to RL

i am really grateful for your great lecture.

around 7:00, in this case the probability `pi theta (a != a* | s)` is the probability for the non deterministic policy correct? or is it that the probability is coming from the state distribution and the policy is deterministic? or is the policy non-deterministic and the states are also non deterministic?

Offline RL for language models is indeed a promising direction to explore. It's worth noting that Sergey, an expert in the field, has expressed concerns about the feasibility of online RL with language models. This reminds me how brilliant of the RLHF approach is

good energy, mildly funny, by far the best articulation...can only come from the DPO inventors, Eric Mitchell et, al

Excellent explanation! Thank you for the open-source lectures.

Дякую!

its good its really good

Can the rest of the lectures be uploaded? Thanks a lot!

This was truly an amazing presentation.

thank you mate

Absolutely brilliant talk!

thank you for sharing

We need to make people focus back to RL again

Thanks - I haven't been tracking RL for past several years, so this is a nice high-level update on things, with linked papers for details. Given this progress, are we about to see an explosion in robotics deployment? If so, will it be mostly industrial, or some consumer impact also?

This dude is a beast

so flippin cool

love this video!!
