Reinforcement Learning Foundation Models Should Already Be A Thing

Read the original on Hugging Face Trending Papers →

Foundation models for language and vision are powered by internet-scale data, while structured domains (tabular prediction, time-series forecasting, graph learning, reinforcement learning) are not. The substitute is synthetic data, which shifts the burden from collection to prior design.
