Most current systems, however, draw goals from a fixed space chosen in advance by designers. They cannot form new abstractions or propose goals that people would find meaningful. The authors note that humans pick up many goals through culture and… 3. **[Reinforcement learning for aligning LLM agents with interactive environments (Apprentissage par renforcement pour l'alignement des agents LLMs avec des environnements interactifs : quantification et réduction du surapprentissage aux prompts)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/aissi-2025-apprentissage-par-renforcement-pour-l/)** *(2025)* The authors study how reinforcement learning (RL) affects LLM-based agents that are fine-tuned to make sequential decisions in a text-based interactive environment. ## All works 4 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.
