Given a PDDL domain and a few training tasks, the model should produce a program that quickly outputs valid plans for new, usually much larger tasks in that domain. GPT-4 receives the domain and two abbreviated… 2. **[Learning Interactive Real-World Simulators](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/yang-2023-learning-interactive-real-world-simulators/)** *(2023 · 54 citations)* The paper asks whether a generative model can serve as an interactive simulator of the real world, producing the visual result of an action applied to a scene. 3. **[Scaling Exponents Across Parameterizations and Optimizers](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/everett-2024-scaling-exponents-across-parameterizations-optimizers/)** *(2024 · 15 citations)* Scaling a Transformer from small to large width requires choosing how the initialization, parameter multipliers and learning rates change with width. ## All works 19 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 3 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1. **[Reinforcement Learning: A Survey ↗](https://doi.org/10.1613/jair.301) Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research · no summary yet**Leslie Pack Kaelbling, Michael L.
