TRL
Innovation readiness scale
TRL is an acronym with several meanings depending on context.
In aerospace and engineering, it stands for Technology Readiness Level—a scale measuring how developed a technology is from concept to deployment: The prototype reached TRL 6.
In machine learning, TRL refers to Transformer Reinforcement Learning, a framework for training language models.
TRL was also the iconic MTV show *Total Request Live*, which ran from 1998 to 2008.
