The really cool part of REBEL is how it generalizes the classic Natural Policy Gradient algorithm (my favorite RL alg) while being as scalable as REINFORCE :) Some details:

In the words of Billy Idol, give a "rebel yell" for REBEL: a strikingly simple RL algorithm (it's just regression! no clipping / critics!) that scales to generative models (both LLMs and Diffusion Models!) and has deep theoretical interpretations: arxiv.org/abs/2404.16767. [1/8]

I’ve been a bit quiet for the past year! It's because I’ve been building 🤫 I'm excited to share that the Artificial.Agency team is coming out of stealth with a sneak peek. More to come. Keep your eyes peeled 👀 – at San Francisco, CA

Great work by my colleagues at @DeepMind_Health showing a great application of ML models to early detection/prediction of Acute Kidney Injury (AKI), giving the chance to intervene earlier.
