New research directions:
* model-based RL with NF models,
* goal/language-conditioned NF foundation policies,
* NFs for collocation-based planning,
* goal-conditioned NF value functions (as control barrier functions, as Lyapunov functions).

2/ Much of my past research is about avoiding density estimation in RL, because I've assumed that it's difficult and fickle. But, if NFs make it easy to do high-dim density estimation, there are lots of new RL algorithms to be developed:

While we still don't understand precisely why depth helps so much, the benefits seem correlated with exploration. Thought experiment: What if the answer to the exploration problem in RL were to just increase network depth?
