- Indicates strongly, that Full online RL is feasible with RISE and using iterative self-training procedure (such as STaR), because RISE improves the LLM with 5-turns with/without oracle model.
- Demonstrates, that LLMs can self-improve its own mistakes to beyond level of propietary models, when trained with RISE. The self-improvement continues up to 6 iterations, demonstrating lower loss.
- RISE starts with turn 1, where only prompt is provided. In turn 2, the prompt, the original response and its feedback is provided to generate the turn 2 response. Majority voting is used to select the final response from multiple responses generated. Alternatively, oracle model can be used to assist, when such is available.
- Why self-improvement works? RISE is compared to diffusion models, where generation is refined step-by-step. Similarly LLMs may lack "capacity" to process the request, which RISE can help to refine. See the talk on this paper here..

Gecko: Versatile Text Embeddings Distilled from Large Language Models
- Gecko: "SOTA level" text embeddings with 768-dimensions with 7x smaller embedding model compared to prior SOTA. Gecko embeddings with 256 dimensions all existting 768-dimension text embeddings in MTEB
- Gecko uses FRet (Few-shot Prompted Retrieval dataset)-fine tuning dataset: task description, input query, positive passage, negative passage.
- FRet generates with LLM the relevant task and query for a passage. The query and task are fed into a pre-trained embedding model to get neighbor passages. LLM scores them either as positive or negative passages.
- Original passage may not become relevant positive/negative passage.
- I think the overall idea could work even as prompt-engineering technique, where original passage is sent to LLM to define query/task, generate positive/negative passage and finally use the query, task, positive, negative passage as basis of retrieval.

Beyond A*: Better Planning with Transformers via Search Dynamics Bootstrapping
- Searchformer: Transformer model outperforms A* search algorithm in planning.
- Two step approach, where Transformer excels large action spaces and learns heuristics (strategies to guide search) from the training with the data.
- First step generates synthetic dataset: Imitate A search by using A search and recording compute and and optimal plan as text token sequences(task description, search tree dynamics, and final plan) with length of thousands of tokens. This dataset includes search dynamics of A search itself. Train a Transformer model (Searchformer) to generate the text token sequences with optimal plan for a given task. This leads to a transformer model, which has the A search coded in the model weights.
- Second step further trains Searchformer using Expert Iteration, which attempts to generate optimal plans to tasks with less steps in the optimal plan. The resulting model solves Sokoban puzzles with 27% less search steps, than A search algorithm. The idea is to generalize the Transformer model into more generic search beyond A search.

Large Language Models Can Self-Improve
- Demonstrates LLM is able to Self-Improve with only unlabeled datasets using CoT and Self-Consistency Prompting and then fine-tune the LLM using these self-generated solutions as target outputs.
- This research by Google, effectively performs Self-Recursive Learning not only during Inference time (such as CoT or In-Context Learning alone), but training as well.

Emergent Abilities of Large Language Models
- Defines officially the term "Emergent Abilities": "An ability is emergent if it is not present in smaller models but is present in larger models."
- Emergent abilities were detected already with GPT-3, but here its clearly defined as ability detected only after specific scale.
- Identifies a list of Emerging abilities not detected in specific smaller model, but identfied in a larger model.
- I like the paper, because increasing number of task patterns are learned using single learning objective of next-word prediction as scale increases.

Deep learning, reinforcement learning, and world models
- Reviews Deep learning, Reinforcement learning and World models.
- Claims humans use World model as simulators in the brain, learned through senso-motory interaction with the environment. It is possible to learn world model using deep generative models.

STaR: Bootstrapping Reasoning With Reasoning
- Introduces the concept: "Self-Taught Reasoner" (STaR) or *, where LLM improves its reasoning by learning from its own reasoning: model is asked to generate rationalizations to questions. If rationalization derives wrong answer to question, the rationalization is repeated by giving it as well the correct answer. All rationalizations leading to correct answer are used for fine-tuning the LLM model. This process is repeated and each iteration improves the LLMs capability of reasoning.
- The paper does not refer to Self-Recursive Learning, but we could argue it as an example of this process in the context of reasoning.

Self-Consistency Improves Chain of Thought Reasoning in Language Models
- Enables reasoning with LLMs using CoT and Self-Consistency, where multiple, different reasoning paths are used to vote the most consistent answer.
- Improves reasoning and math problem solving.
Chain of Hindsight Aligns Language Models with Feedback
- Chain of Hindsight (CoH): Humans learn from feedback, which is converted sequences of sentences, ranked with human preferences and used to fine-tune the LLM.

Shared computational principles for language processing in humans and deep language models
- Provides evidence about three computational principles, shared both by Deep Language Models (DLMs) and human brain to process language.
- The three principles are: continuous next-word prediction, contextual embeddings and surprise prediction error.

Chain-of-Thought Prompting Elicits Reasoning in Large Language Models
- Defines Chain-of-Thought (CoT).
- CoT is one Emerging Ability not present in smaller models, but present in larger models.
- CoT can be seen as Self-Recursive Learning, where the LLM improves its own output by having LLM use intermediate steps to solve complex task.
- The approach effectively demonstrates the LLMs capability to perform Self-Recursive Learning, altough its not integrated back as training data of the model.

Language Models are Few-Shot Learners
- Applies first-time the term of LLMs ability to learn a task from contextual information: "In-Context Learning".
- This ability is another example of Self-Recursive Learning, altough its not integrated back as training data of the model.
- This paper as well identified the capability of LLMs to learn multiple tasks by having been only trained to predict the next word. See Jason Wei´s presentation included below, where he covers the "Massively Multi-task learning" of LLMs and I think it helps to gain better insight about LLMs, rather than thinking them as simply "statistical models".

- Reward is sufficient to drive intelligent behaviours instead of requiring special formulations.
- Agents could learn to obtain various intelligent behaviours through trial and error experiences to maximize reward.
- Sophisticated intelligence may emerge from simple objective, think what an animal is able to learn to do just by being in hungry.

- Human mind consists according to Minsky, from Cloud of Resources turnable on/off.
- Important theory, because LLM agents can construct such resources, observed in a human brain, altough years after this theory.

Is it an Agent, or Just a Program?: A Taxonomy for Autonomous Agents.
- "Autonomous agent is a system situated within and a part of an environment that senses that environment and acts on it, over time, in pursuit of its own agenda and so as to effect what it senses in the future."
- Definition includes: 1. Operate within an environment, 2. Sense and Act, 3. Over time, 4. Control its own agenda (Autonomous).
- Studies the multiple previous definitions of Agents / Autonomous Agents, although the perspective is +27 years ago and prior to LLMs.
