Six Books About Skills You Need To Succeed in A Networked World

Beth's Blog: How Nonprofits Can Use Social Media

This book is filled with great tips on designing engaging learning experiences that help your participants connect, inspire, and engage. The model balances content, learning design, and participants. The ideas, tips, and tricks are grounded in adult learning theory, but the book is very practical.

The Theoretical Reward Learning Research Agenda: Introduction and Motivation

The AI Alignment Forum

The answer to this question should be something like a metric over some type of task specification (such as reward functions), according to which two task specifications have a small distance if and only if they are similar (in some relevant and informative sense).

Other Papers About the Theory of Reward Learning

The AI Alignment Forum

We also managed to leverage these results to produce a new method for conservative optimisation, that tells you how much (and in what way) you can optimise a proxy reward, based on the quality of that proxy (as measured by a STARC metric ), in order to be guaranteed that the true reward doesnt decrease (and thereby prevent the Goodhart drop).

Research directions Open Phil wants to fund in technical AI safety

The AI Alignment Forum

We prefer this definition of success at unlearning over the less conservative metrics like in Lynch et al because we think this definition more clearly distinguishes unlearning from safety training/robustness. VC theory ) and the generalization performance we see in practice. Goldowsky-Dill et al. ). Abbe et al. )

Moving from Red AI to Green AI, Part 1: How to Save the Environment and Reduce Your Hardware Costs

DataRobot

They are used for different applications, but nonetheless they suggest that the development in infrastructure (access to GPUs and TPUs for computing) and the development in deep learning theory has led to very large models. For us, we believe in using efficiency metrics in machine learning software.
