Training LLMs with Reinforcement Learning (RL) isn’t a new idea. So why does it suddenly seem to be working now (o1/DeepSeek)? Here are a few theories and my thoughts on each of them: (1/N)

Amazing Girish Nadkarni, huge congrats

What to know about DeepSeek youtu.be/0eMzc-WnBfQ?si… In which we aim to understand MoE, o1, scaling, tech reporting, modern semiconductors, microeconomics, and international geopolitics.

I taught a grad course on AI Agents at UCSD CSE this past quarter. All lecture slides, homeworks & course projects are now open sourced! I provide a grounding going from Classical Planning & Simulations -> RL Control -> LLMs and how to put it all together pearls-lab.github.io/ai-agents-cour…

Great location, great faculties, great program, so what are you waiting for? Come and join our program to make yourself competitive.

It is important to keep human in the loop for healthcare AI models. Look forward to hearing the insights from Xuhai “Orson” Xu

Glad to teach a short course in this boot camp at Duke CompSci. Students will learn #SOTA approaches on #RWE extraction for helping with #ClinicalTrials

Excellent thoughts from ⁦Andrew Ng⁩. In medicine, we emphasized a lot on the importance of domain knowledge. Same logic applies to #AI. Without the solid knowledge of fundamentals behind it (math, CS, etc.), there is no way we can do AI well. deeplearning.ai/the-batch/issu…

Congrats Beth McGinty 🎉

Great collaboration with Dr. Bishoy M. Faltas

Still cannot believe what happened last night. The game was unbelievable. Congrats Houston Men's Hoops 🏀 🐾 for advancing to the final. Also thanks Duke Men’s Basketball for bringing us an amazing season.

Thrilled to share TrialGenie: A #MultiAgent system for extracting insights from #RWD that can inform clinical trial design. Preprint here medrxiv.org/content/10.110…. Feedbacks are welcome. Bravo to the team.

Thanks Ravi B. Parikh and we cannot wait to hear your talk

Great work from our stellar faculty Yifan Peng

We are organizing the first workshop on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining for Pharmaceutical Research and Development (PharmKDD) in Conjunction with SIGKDD 2025 at Toronto in August. Don't miss the opportunity. Submit your contribution by March 15. shorturl.at/hNaeT

This is exciting

Thrilled to have my old friend David Sontag to talk about his new research. Look forward to it!

Thanks for highlighting our work.

Thank you and I am thrilled to take on this new role at Cornell Tech.

I’m thrilled to lead our division and committed to our continued excellence phs.weill.cornell.edu/news/dr-fei-wa…
