Here's a summary of recent news and research on reinforcement learning:
- Turing Award Winners: Andrew Barto and Richard Sutton won the 2025 A.M. Turing Award for their work in reinforcement learning, which has become a core component of modern AI. Their research has influenced robotics, game AI, self-driving technology, recommendation systems, and neuroscience.
- NeuroAI Symbiosis: Neuroscience has inspired advances in AI, and AI has provided a testing ground for models in neuroscience, accelerating progress in both fields.
- AI Safety and Reinforcement Learning: A paper discusses the limitations of using Reinforcement Learning (RL) to ensure safety in advanced LLMs like DeepSeek-R1 and proposes a hybrid approach combining RL and Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) to mitigate harmful outputs.
- Video Generation with Human Feedback: A paper introduces a pipeline that uses human feedback to improve video generation, including a new reward model and alignment algorithms, showing significant improvements over existing techniques.
- Scaling Reinforcement Learning with LLMs: A multi-modal LLM trained with reinforcement learning (RL) achieves state-of-the-art reasoning performance across multiple benchmarks without relying on complex techniques, also presenting effective long2short methods that improve short-CoT models.
- Incentivizing Reasoning Capability in LLMs via Reinforcement Learning: A model trained with reinforcement learning exhibits strong reasoning capabilities, using multi-stage training and cold-start data, achieving performance on par with OpenAI-o1-1217, with the models and additional resources being open-sourced.
- Evolution and The Knightian Blindspot of Machine Learning: The paper highlights a critical blind spot in machine learning, specifically its inability to handle Knightian uncertainty, and contrasts this with the robustness of biological evolution, arguing for the importance of addressing this gap to create more robust AI, especially in open-world scenarios.
- Scaling of Search and Learning: A roadmap to reproducing OpenAI o1 from a reinforcement learning perspective, emphasizing four key components: policy initialization, reward design, search, and learning, providing insights into how learning and search drive the advancement of large language models.
