Efficient Reinforcement Learning – Rhythm Garg & Linden Li, Applied Compute

A deep dive into the challenges and solutions for efficient Reinforcement Learning (RL) in enterprise settings. The talk contrasts synchronous and asynchronous RL, explains the critical trade-off of "staleness" versus stability, and details a first-principles system model used to optimize GPU allocation for maximum throughput.

Tensor Logic "Unifies" AI Paradigms [Pedro Domingos]

Tensor Logic "Unifies" AI Paradigms [Pedro Domingos]

Pedro Domingos introduces Tensor Logic, a new programming language designed to be the fundamental language for AI. It unifies the two major paradigms: the learning capabilities of deep learning (neural networks) and the transparent, verifiable reasoning of symbolic AI (logic programming), aiming to solve critical issues like hallucination and the opacity of current models.

Pedro Domingos introduces Tensor Logic, a new programming language designed to be the fundamental language for AI. It unifies the two major paradigms: the data-driven learning of deep learning and the verifiable reasoning of symbolic AI. By treating logical rules and tensor operations as the same underlying construct, Tensor Logic enables systems that can learn logical structures and perform transparent, deductive reasoning, directly addressing critical issues like model opacity and hallucination.
