You know, it's chain rule, but then you also save the inputs, and the matrix convention is the other way around so you have to add a transpose here, and ah no, this framework doesn't do that, I don't know there is a transpose somewhere, oh and also the gradient of softmax and cross entropy kinda ...

It is quite pretty and the CS and ECE facilities are very very nice, they even hold up well compared to Vector

here = I moved to the US today :D

Not perfect, but would the two of you be up for organizing an RLC workshop on this?

I think @rl-conference.bsky.social tried that last time, but I haven't checked out the results!

Maybe we just need to rename it from Intro to Summary? Also, I think the page limit is relevant: make the summary explicitly one page and rate it separately. It gets less tempting to squeeze it to get more formal stuff in.
Worst offenders here are theory papers ime, zero appreciation for intution.

I think the paper is a relic from a past when we had far more robust and slow systems for moving from "fundamental research -> real world" not multi-million startups based on arxiv preprints 😁

Oh yeah, I totally agree. I think we should give one extra page for an executive summary at the minimum. But there is a huge crowd that thinks "science == maximum precision to the point of obfuscation" (and an equally large amount that thinks "science == competitive engineering").

Also, there is zero reason papers shouldn't have the tweet level summary added at the beginning, we should probably incentivize that. One extra page for executive summary?

The boring answer is: Because a thread only makes you understand the surface level info and none of the nuances, but most of us are fine with it. The paper is for people who want to know all.

There is a deeper issue with the original hindsight paper: It assumes that any trajectory you observe that moves from state a to state b took an optimal path. But that is obviously not true. Many offline GCRL algos actually inherit this weirdness a bit. Don't know if this is discussed somewhere.

REPPO with hindsight experience when?

Yes, I know, I could chose to just ignore the bullshit, but there is soooooooo much of it. How do people live like this, constantly protecting their vulnerable mental state? I guess we are where we are because they don't?
