Topic: Reinforcement Learning
- Three types of AI
- Supervised Learning
- Unsupervised Learning
- Reinforcement Learning
- Online vs Offline RL
- Optimization algorithms
- Value optimization
- SARSA
- Q-Learning
- Policy optimization
- Policy Gradients
- Actor-Critic
- Proximal Policy Optimization
- Value optimization
- Value vs Policy Optimization
- Value optimization is more intuitive (Value loss)
- Policy optimization is less intuitive at first (policy gradients)
- Converting values to policies in deep learning is difficult
- Imitation Learning
- Supervised policy learning
- Often used to bootstrap reinforcement learning
- Policy Evaluation
- Propensity scoring versus model-based
- Challenges to training RL model
- Two optimization loops
- Collecting feedback vs updating the model
- Difficult optimization target
- Policy evaluation
- Two optimization loops
- RLHF & GRPO
