[r/ML] Studying Sutton and Barto's RL book and its connections to RL for LLMs (e.g., tool use, math reasoning, agents, and so on)? [D]

Summary

A recent Math Master's graduate is exploring Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and LLMs, with a particular interest in AI for mathematics. They are now studying Reinforcement Learning (RL) using the "Sutton and Barto" book to understand its connections to LLMs. The individual aims to apply RL concepts to enhance LLM capabilities such as tool use, math reasoning, and agent development.
