Reinforcement Learning (RL) is a self-supervised learning technique that learns through an action versus reward mindset, similar to how a toddler learns to walk.
RL can be used to teach a machine through exploring game moves and outcomes, and the technique involves distillation in DeepSeek R1 utilizing RL with two players concept.
Strategies to tackle training and interpretability challenges in DNN and transformer models include self-supervised or hybrid supervised methods along with integrating traditional statistical machine learning techniques.
Experts disagree with the notion of China surpassing the U.S. in AI capabilities, citing the trend of open-source AI surpassing proprietary models, which democratizes access and reduces risks of an AI arms race.
