It's amazing to have the book in my hand now, after several years of working on it with Kasper and Per Ola.
In a nutshell, it's a new textbook for introductory-level HCI courses:
✅ 10 parts, covering the whole HCI process
✅ Over 200 principles and 100 examples
✅ 864 pages

Just shared a new article on "The State of Reinforcement Learning for LLM Reasoning"!
If you are new to reinforcement learning, this article has a pretty generous intro section (PPO, GRPO, etc)
I addition, I cover 15 recent articles focused on RL and Reasoning Models,

If you are interested in memorization vs. generalization, you should definitely check the paper from @GoogleAI They have a comprehensive study on this problem in a very controlled settings! BTW: @YangsiboHuang is hiring SR/Interns. If you are searching for internships, please do consider her team! She has best research vision and soft skills I have ever seen and will be an excellent mentor!🥳🥳🤩
Memorization is NOT merely detrimental for reasoning tasks - sometimes, it’s surprisingly helpful.
I’m really enjoying this project, as we work toward a more rigorous definition and understanding of reasoning and memorization (albeit in a controlled synthetic setting): arxiv.org/abs/2410.23123
