Causal Inference with LLMs and Reinforcement Learning Agents?
Do LLMs have a world model?
Can they reason causally?
What's the connection between LLMs, reinforcement learning, and causality?
Andrew Lampinen, PhD (Google DeepMind) shares the insights from his research on LLMs, reinforcement learning, causal inference and generalizable agents.
We also discuss the nature of intelligence, rationality and how they play with evolutionary fitness.
Join us in the journey!
Recorded on Dec 1, 2023 in London, UK.
