Nathan Lambert highlights importance sampling methods for RL train-inference mismatch
Overview
Nathan Lambert, on X, points to a table in the appendix of a score-centering RL paper that compares importance-sampling methods for train-inference mismatch in reinforcement learning.
He says he found the table while reading the paper for notes in his book. Lambert argues these methods have been the main focus of RL algorithm research since the GRPO takeoff.
