Dale Eric Schuurmans
Dale Eric Schuurmans works on reinforcement learning and language model reasoning, with collaborators across several teams. Schuurmans coauthored CoinDICE with Bo Dai, Ofir Nachum, Yinlam Chow, Lihong Li and Csaba Szepesvári. The NeurIPS paper concerns confidence intervals for off-policy evaluation. He also coauthored work on offline reinforcement learning with Rishabh Agarwal and Mohammad Norouzi. He coauthored ICLR work on least-to-most prompting and self-consistency in chain of thought reasoning. He also authored a paper on the computational universality of memory-augmented language models.

Reasoning over knowledge graphs
He joined the LEGO research team on latent execution-guided reasoning for multi-hop question answering. The ICML paper links his learning research to questions that require several steps through a knowledge graph.

Chain of thought prompting
Schuurmans was a coauthor of the NeurIPS paper Chain of Thought Prompting Elicits Reasoning in Large Language Models. Jason Wei, Xuezhi Wang, Maarten Bosma and other collaborators coauthored the paper with him. The paper is part of his language-model research.
