Last leg on our brief history of NLP (so far) is the advent of large language models with GPT-3 in 2020 and the introduction of learning from the prompt (aka few-shot learning).

Ryan Flynn’s documentary “You’re No Indian”, about
"tribal disenrollment",
the controversial practice of removing Indigenous people from tribal roles, will debut at the "Dances With Films Festival" on June 28.
In the film, Flynn explores how tribal disenrollment has stripped over 11,000 Native American people of their tribal membership,
thereby erasing their identities, rights and connections to their communities.
Fueled by casino profits, p…

VerIF: Verification Engineering for Reinforcement Learning in Instruction Following
Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) has become a key technique for enhancing large language models (LLMs), with verification engineering playing a central role. However, best practices for RL in instruction following remain underexplored. In this work, we explore the verification challenge in RL for instruction following and propose VerIF, a verification method that combines rule-based code verification with LLM-based verification from a large reasoning model (e.g., QwQ-32B). …
