Give me 2 minutes, I will tell you How to Learn Reinforcement Learning for LLMs A humorous analogy for reinforcement learning uses cake as an example. Reinforcement learning, much like baking a cake, involves trial and error to achieve a desired outcome (a delicious cake) by learning from rewards (delicious cake) and penalties (burnt cake). Unsupervised learning is the foundation (the cake itself), supervised learning adds the frosting, and reinforcement learning is the cherry on top, the final touch. ⇛ Most important paper for LLM Reinforcement Learning - Asynchronous Deep Reinforcement Learning (Google Deepmind 2016) https://lnkd.in/gQUK3xmb - Reinforcement Learning from Human (OpenAI 2017) https://lnkd.in/gf5iPfhJ -Proximal Policy Optimization (OpenAI 2017) https://lnkd.in/gAG6As-7 -Fine-Tuning Language Models from Human Preferences (OpenAI 2020) https://lnkd.in/gsfxReUg -Learning to Summarize from Human Feedback (OpenAI 2022) https://lnkd.in/grUG-XHU -Direct Preference Optimization( Stanford University 2023) https://lnkd.in/gTKSQnCN - Group Relative Policy Optimization ( DeepSeek 2024) https://lnkd.in/gkNRn5sh -reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (DeepSeek 2025) https://lnkd.in/gcksvi-v ⫸ Books for Reinforcement Learning -Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (Nathan Lambert) https://lnkd.in/gJW4JmiS -Reinforcement Learning: Industrial Applications (Phil Winder) https://amzn.to/4iufoQz -Reinforcement Learning (Richard S.
