In June 2021, scientists at the AI lab DeepMind made a controversial claim. The researchers suggested that we could reach artificial general intelligence (AGI) using one single approach: reinforcement ...

This is reinforcement learning (RL), arguably the biggest driver of AI progress over the past six months and getting more intricate all the time. You can do reinforcement learning with human graders, ...

For a long time, the core idea in reinforcement learning (RL) was that AI agents should learn every new task from scratch, like a blank slate. This "tabula rasa" approach led to amazing achievements, ...

By teaching models to reason during foundational training, the verifier-free method aims to reduce logical errors and boost ...

When it comes to machine learning, every performance gain is worth a bit of celebration. That's particularly true for Google's DeepMind division, which has already proven itself by beating a Go world ...

The bird has never gotten much credit for being intelligent. But the reinforcement learning powering the world’s most advanced AI systems is far more pigeon than human. In 1943, while the world’s ...
