Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback: From Zero to chatGPT

In this talk, we will cover the basics of Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) and how this technology is being used to enable state-of-the-art ML tools like ChatGPT. Most of the talk will be an overview of the interconnected ML models and cover the basics of Natural Language Processing and RL that one needs to understand how RLHF is used on large language models. It will conclude with open question in RLHF.
