Aligning LLMs: ReFT
In this event, AI Makerspace breaks down the steps of ReFT, which consists of the warm-up stage and the reinforcement learning state. They will demonstrate how to code the core aspects of ReFT yourself in a Google Colab notebook environment, and all code will be provided directly to attendees!

Aligning LLMs: RLAIF
AI Makerspace presents part 2 of the Alignment series, Aligning LLMs: RLAIF! They will tackle RLAIF, a technique that attempts to solve the fundamental bottleneck of RLHF, namely, that it’s kind of expensive to collect a ton of data directly from humans!
