The first New England RLHF Hackers Hackathon

Introduction Author list is alphabetical by last name. We would like to extend acknowledgements to Delta Christine Hessler and Hailey Schoelkopf. On September 10, 2023, New England RLHF Hackers (NERH) held a hackathon at Brown University. For this hackathon we came in with one simple goal: to come up with plans to solve varying open problems in reinforcement learning from human feedback. Most members of NERH were contributors and collaborators at EleutherAI, with some of us actually being directly employed by Eleuther.
