Super excited to announce our ICML workshop on highlighting the power (and limitations?) of small-scale in the era of large-scale ML. You can submit just a Jupyter notebook, Jupyter notebook + paper, or a survey/position paper. Do submit your work and help us spread the word!

Minqi Jiang I think it also shows how bad the existing exploration methods are. RL works now because pretraining did the hard part of exploration for it. There could be some room in figuring out how to put more compute into more efficient exploration during RL beyond just sampling more.
