The Bias is in the Details: An Assessment of Cognitive Bias in LLMs

R. Alexander Knipper, Charles S. Knipper, Kaiqi Zhang +3

As Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly embedded in real-world decision-making processes, it becomes crucial to examine the extent to which they exhibit cognitive biases.…

A Generalist Agent

Scott Reed, Konrad Zolna, Emilio Parisotto +17

Inspired by progress in large-scale language modeling, we apply a similar approach towards building a single generalist agent beyond the realm of text outputs. The agent, which we…

One-Shot High-Fidelity Imitation: Training Large-Scale Deep Nets with RL

Tom Le Paine, Sergio Gómez Colmenarejo, Ziyu Wang +8

Humans are experts at high-fidelity imitation -- closely mimicking a demonstration, often in one attempt. Humans use this ability to quickly solve a task instance, and to bootstrap…
