🚨 New in @natmachintell.nature.com 🚨 We collected 9000+ annotations of empathic communication in convos from experts, crowds & LLMs across 4 NLP/comms/psych frameworks LLM judgment exceeds crowds' reliability & nearly matches experts Soft skills can now be reliably measured by LLMs 🧵

Our paper: Decision-Point Guided Safe Policy Improvement We show that a simple approach to learn safe RL policies can outperform most offline RL methods. (+theoretical guarantees!) How? Just allow the state-actions that have been seen enough times! 🤯 arxiv.org/abs/2410.09361

Decision-Point Guided Safe Policy Improvement

Within batch reinforcement learning, safe policy improvement (SPI) seeks to ensure that the learnt policy performs at least as well as the behavior policy that generated the dataset. The core challeng...
