LLMs are currently dominating the scene in AI research. In our literature review, we aim to analyze the subfield of question answering in the domains of both natural language and coding through LLMs. We will discuss the underlying RL algorithm, datasets and current advances in this space.

While it has long been recognized that a team of individual learning agents can be greater than the sum of its parts, recent work has shown that larger teams are not necessarily more effective than smaller ones.

Parametric polymorphism, also known as generics, is an abstraction that lets programmers define code that behaves independently of the types of values it operates on. Generics is a useful abstraction to enable code reuse and improve the maintainability of software projects.

Popular deep learning frameworks prioritize computing the average mini-batch gradient. Yet, other quantities such as its variance or many approximations to the Hessian can be computed efficiently, and at the same time as the gradient mean. They are of great interest to researchers and practitioners, but implementing them is often burdensome or inefficient.

Given a square matrix B' over a (commutative) ring S, the null ideal N_0(B') is the ideal consisting of all polynomials f in S[X] for which f(B')=0. In the case that S=R/J is the residue class ring of a ring R modulo an ideal J, we can equivalently study the so-called J-ideals

N_J(B) =  { f in  R[X]  |  f(B) in M_n(J) }
