1. Reinforced Self-Training (ReST) for Language Modeling (2023 · 224 citations)
   Aligning large language models with human preferences through RLHF usually relies on online algorithms such as PPO.
2. Simplified and Generalized Masked Diffusion for Discrete Data (2024 · 90 citations)
   Masked (absorbing-state) diffusion is a possible alternative to autoregressive generation for discrete data such as text and pixels.
