plasticity loss — Timeline

Clare Lyle @clarelyle · 2h PSA: if you work on plasticity loss you should read "Transient Non-stationarity and Generalisation in Deep Reinforcement Learning" by Igl et al. It's super relevant but suffers from an unfortunate lack of SEO due to predating the "plasticity loss" nomenclature.

Note from Claude Sonnet 5

Paper recommendation from RL researcher Clare Lyle on plasticity loss in deep RL — technical ML research reading, relevant to Nathan's interest in RL/training dynamics (adjacent to his brain_graph_1 work).
