If you want to keep your knowledge breadth in AI and ML sharp, when a new Lilian Weng blog drops, you read it.

Read "Reward Hacking in Reinforcement Learning" here (lilianweng.github.io/posts/2024-1... ):
Reward Hacking in Reinforcement Learning
Reward hacking occurs when a reinforcement learning (RL) agent exploits flaws or ambiguities in the reward function to achieve high rewards, without genuinely learning or completing the intended task....

What will a foundation model for the brain look like? 🧠

We argue that it must be able to solve a diverse set of tasks across multiple brain regions and animals.

Check out our NeurIPS paper which introduces a multi-region, multi-animal, multi-task model arxiv.org/abs/2407.14668

(1/5) Fun fact: Several classic results in the stat. mech. of learning can be derived in a couple lines of simple algebra!

In this paper with Haim Sompolinsky, we simplify and unify derivations for high-dimensional convex learning problems using a bipartite cavity method.
